Calzaghe's next opponent Allan Green

just saw this on boxrec, not sure if its been posted yet

http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=005364

That Green's management would agree to put him in with Calzaghe without facing even one contender, or even a fringe contender is just bizarre.

Anything can happen in a fight, although he's gotta be a very clear underdog, but its still a strange move.

yes I posted it in my topic of the same name ::**

Nothing on Frank Warrens site as yet :-\
Jury's still out for me as it seems a very strange move IMO

Boxrec has a bit of a reputation for jumping the gun of these things. I would take this with a big pinch of salt, until we find out on via Sports Network. ;)

Lmao,do you sit there thinking of these lines?¬ CC¬¬

I dunno and we thought Manfredo was bad.

Anybody even ever heard of this boy?

At least his record looks good but I'm guessing he's going to be like a Thomas Daamgaard, ie, padded record and will be exposed.

Wow! We though Jones was not a good enough matchup, Manfredo was a a mismatch, this just kinda sucks

This should be another white wash for Joe. Green will keep it closer than the Lacy/Calzaghe fight, by that I mean he may win a round or two.

COME ON JOE!!!! GET A REAL OPPONENT!!! FIGHT SOMEBODY THAT IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE!!!!

If that person is not at 168 then move up and find them. Everybody knows he is the man at 168, why is he bothering to fight people like this. No offense to Green, but he is not there yet.

This is just disappointing. :( After the Lacy fight I am expecting better things from him.

At the end of the day if it is Green; Calzaghe is making top money, for minimum risk. Everyone is a winner, no one wants Calzaghe's home comming to fall flat because of a tough fight.

The fans at the Millennium Stadium, will not care if Joe wins 60 seconds, indeed they will love it. ;)

I know, but as a fight fan I would rather see him go against somebody that matters. It is kind of like after J. Taylor beat B-hop the second time and was talking of taking a easy opponent for a home coming fight and everybody was against it. Same thing here, Joe has shown he is on another level. So prove it again against a good opponent.

But isn't fighting an unbeaten figther who is little known a big potential risk?

I mean sure Calzaghe will probably kick his a** but Green may just turn out to be a world beater, just he's an unknown quantity right now.

At least a fighting against a known opponent you are aware of what you are coming up against.

Didnt green barely survive his last fight against a journey man ?

I agree it is a dangerous fight in that Green can whack but maybe seen as a soft touch after his last fight, Joe may get complacent but I cant see it.

This should have been a marquee fight, a name, even manfredo was a name.

Joe says he doesnt know how much longer he can box because of injurys but he also says he cant make super middle for much longer.

Then why the hell waste 2 or 3 months training fro a fight that means nothing rather than chasing a legacy by fighting Beyer, Kessler, Jones, johnson or woods.

He has the winners of Taylor v Wright and Tarver v Hopkins, calzaghe has gone right back to being frustrating again >:mad

Of course you have a very good point. It is true, whenever you step in that ring, you never know what could happen, hence the reason I like the sport.

But you have to take calculated risks, and (for a fighter at Calzaghe's level), this is a relatively low risk fight, with a big pay day; if it happens.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

HE BETTER BE PREPARED CUZ HE HAS A CHANCE TO EXPOSE CALZAGHE :D :D :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

This is way better than Manfredo, but it still won't be a close fight.
Green's not gonna win any rounds. This is too soon for him.

Calzaghe is at the stage of his career, where he cannot be exposed. ;)

If he loses, you can put it down to Calzaghe peaking with the Lacy fight, and physically being ravaged from a long hard career.

id either go with green is better, or calzaghe was overated cuz he lost to a green green ;)


;D

u gotta admit it would be real bad for calzaghe to have a loss to green at this point


i would imagine this will be on showtime, as green has been on showbox b4

Green is getting knocked out pure and simple ;)

If Joe loses, so be it, he is an old man with a bad back and a crippling hand injury, sooner or later he will get caught out, if he continues his career.

That is why unless he can get a huge pay day against a RJJ or Hopkins, I would call it a day after the July fight. ;)

how long u think he keeps going if he stays unbeaten?

Green knocked out unbeaten New York Prospect Jaidon Codrington in 18 seconds 2 fights ago in ESPN's knock out of the year. Thats what he has to lay his hat on

I would not underestimate Allan Green; he is a force to be reckon with. Believe it or not, Allan Green is a superb fighter; he in many ways parallels Jermaine Taylor. Just because Calzaghe perform superbly against Lacy will not gaurantee similar outcome. Look at Raheem, who performed superbly against morales, but did poorly against Freitas. We may possibly see the passing of the torch in this fight...

Allan is too green for Calzaghe.

I think Calzaghe believes he has not made the money he should of out of the sport. So I think he will carry on, until he can get a couple of huge paydays, which would mean stepping in the ring with a RJJ and/or Hopkins.

Not discrediting you because I only saw the Codrington fight and cant argue with you therefore, but what are you basing this on mrtko? Jus would be interested in checking out these fights to see if he is that great.

This fight is nothing to do with the opponent, the Millennium Stadium will sell out if Joe was fighting me or you, mate. ;)

Has there been any fights at the Millennium Stadium?

Sort of, but not really. Lennox Lewis fought Frank Bruno at the Arms Park, the stadium that was knocked down and replaced by the Millennium Stadium.

Whats the difference between the stadiums?

Well, when I went to see England verses Wales (Rugby Union) at the old Arms Park, you had to dive for cover at half time, as, the wall above the stand seeped human sewage, that dripped down onto the terraces.

The Millennium Stadium is probably with the possible exceptions of the Stade de France and Croke Park, the finest stadium in Great Britain and Europe.

Same amount of seats?

For Rugby/Football yes, about 72,500 if memory serves me correct. They knocked down the Arms Park and rebuilt it. It is on the same site, but is a completely different Stadium, it also has a retractable roof, if needed.

u ever see the satima super arena?
