Thread: Sugar Ray tips Manfredo to beat Calzaghe

Right enough of the Barrera/Marquez chat (It's done and dusted and getting boring now)...
Let's look to the future
Rumoured to be in fantastic shape is Manfredo.
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=10318&more=1

He can be in the best shape of his life but it still will not be enough to beat Calzaghe.Even if Calzaghe is not fully focused on the job come fight night with all the welsh fans behind him he will put on a good performance and win easy.

sugar Ray may be in his corner and the stars may be aligned but the truth of the matter is Pete is in over his head !!!

Some fighters never learn , Joe the 35 year old slapper ?

Famous last words of Sheika , Lacy , Mittchell and Manfredo !!

I cant understand why Americans have to talk to so much befiore a figth it seems they have to sell the fight by saying something bad about their opponents why not keep yr mouth shut let your hands do the talking .

I really don't think Manfredo meant that he's always shown alot of class and respect .

As for Joe not fighting any world class fighters ?

What about Mittchell , Sheika , Lacy , Woodall , Ried , i believe all of those fighters were ex world champions not to mention Eubank .

Smashup has reignited the Calzaghe debate i hope it doesn't degenerate into name calling , but then i hoped Keeley Hazell might pay for dinner ........didnt happen either .

Calzaghe before 6

I think untill he fights Kessler he will always be critized.If he doesnt fight him in his next 2 fights i recon that people are gonna say that Kessler is the best SMW out there just because JC has'nt fought him,but infact Kessler hasnt fought the quality fighters that Calzaghe has.

Lol @ The slapper.

Well then Peter is going to get slapped around plenty in this fight

I honestly don't see any way at all that Manfredo wins,JC is faster,bigger,stronger and a much better boxer.
Thing is will JC be able to get up for this enough to impress Worldwide? With home advantage he should do and f*ck me he badly needs to.

Who will he impress by smacking Manfredo about a bit

If ever your trainer started tipping the other guy it would probably be wise to sack him.

Fenster You got it in one cc

It is good that he is going over there so confindent. He can talk all he wants about how great of a plan they have and all of that, but it wont matter unless he can follow through with the plans. He barely has a shot right now, if he doesnt follow the plans then he has less of a chance to win. I still think the only way for him to win is by KO, I cant imagine Manfredo winning any type of decision.

Mark my words, Manfredo may not win, but he's gonna put on a show. After this fight, people will think much more highly of Manfredo. Joe C will walk out of that ring cut up, bruised up, or f*kked up.

You mean like how Calzaghe kept all his comments classy before and after beating Jeff Lacy? You act like that makes American fighters so unique- trash talk makes the boxing WORLD go 'round.

I hope Calzaghe knocks him out!!

Calzaghe is due a stoppage

I like Manfredo, but Calzaghe is far too good and will either win a lopsided decision or a mid to late stoppage i feel. Sugar Ray is just doing what any trainer does surely? Bigging up there fighter, wouldnt be a good mentor if he didnt think it was possible for him to win would he!

I can honestly see Joe smirking as he beats Manfredo to a pulp hahaha "Told you so you little gimp" sorta style
Think he may even toy with him a little and purposley prolong his agony!
