Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
OK, I know they all both big big long shots, but if you had to say one had the better chance of winning who would it be and why???
Mora over Tayor or Manfredo over Calzaghe??
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
Either of them could pull off an upset but i'd lean towards Manfredo he seems a different fighter since he teamed up with Freddie Roach
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
I'd say Manfredo because he has a puncher's chance.

I concur. But Joe C has also been dropped by guys who don't hit as hard as Manfredo at 168. Plus, Peter seems to know how to finish the job lately when he has someone hurt.
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
Douglas beat tyson a 42/1 underdog so why can't Mora beat Taylor or Manfredo beat Calzaghe

because my friend tyson was undertrained something that jermain taylor and joe c dont do
byron mithell had 25 wins 18 kos he caught calzaghe with flash knockdown and calzaghe stopped him in same round
and salem jeez dunno what happened there lol he trapped him in corner and salem exploded out corner with right hand bomb manfredo could floor calzaghe which i doubt but he wont ko him
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
I think Manfredo has the only chance for an upset, it would have to be a (T)KO. Cant see him winning any type of decision against Joe C. in his backyard. I was going to pick Mora, because I think he is going to give Taylor some problems, but if Bhop and Winky cant pull a decision against Taylor then Mora aint got a chance!!!
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
even if Joe has become shot overnight this fight should show the vast gulf in class between a reality TV Boxer and Real World Champions.
personally im not too keen on this matchup its a big step backwards for Joe IMO :(
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
Mark me down for either of your choosing. I think they both get humiliated.
If I was forced to pick one it would be... Manfredo Jr. because I think Mora is fainthearted.

Wish I could CC you again, but I sure Am glad that someone here recognizes that Joe fighting Peter is not OK.....
Just because Peter was on that show and hes popular in Rhode Island doesn't mean anything...
Same goes for Taylor fighting Mora..... :(
As for the question, I dunno let me get a coin and flip for it....
I'll post the result as soon as I find a coin...

I totally agree with you about Joe taking this fight... With Taylor it's a little more understandable... He's really young, still has alot of areas where he can improve, and is coming off wins over 2 ATG's and one very tough Kassim Ouma.. Though Ouma and Mora aren't exactly elite,it doesn't matter like I say Taylor can improve by fighting them and bide some time until a really big fight comes along, for instance the winner of Miranda vs Green, or Pavlik if he somehow gets handed the chance for a title eliminator against the winner. Calzaghe has nothing to gain from this, or his last fight... He has proven that he doesn't always get up for the smaller fights, and the guy certainly isn't going to pick up and new tricks by fighting these guy.. He's a finished product who just letting his peak slip away, and it's too bad really.

;D
I forget who it was here who was going on about Peter being the right fight for Joe and saying Peter was a credible opponent.....
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
Whoever it was has been taken out back and beaten with a shitty stick ;D
I fucking hate how these kinds of fights are dressed up as something they are not. In a word, meaningfull.
Re: Which contender has the shot of pulling off the upset?
Actually I don't think either of these fights are that bad of match-ups . Manfredo has improved over the last few years , and should put up a valiant effort. my man Calzaghe is 36 and looked flat last time out. Mora , I'm not real fond of the guy personally, but he has some skills and can't be over looked completely. Taylor is getting a bit lazy as champion, anything is possible in boxing , It’s one of the few sport you can be blitzed on the cards, yet still cash someone out late and win . ! O0
