Damn, Spina got outboxed by Jesse Brinkley, is this for real?

Maybe the Calzaghe camp ae looking to save Calzaghe's hands and are thinking he can beat him without even throwing a punch, just bob and weave until Spina tires and falls over.

Hard to believe. I won't be going if he fights this bum.

calzaghe why?? get sum balls fly to usa move up to light heavy and take on the big guys, if he takes this fight on i will lose alot of respect for this man

[Gatesnapper]

spina does need to step up his competition. he needs to fight outside of New England, but going to the UK to fight Calzaghe is the wrong fight IMO. And I am a Spina fan.

[cockey cockney]

Calzaghe will DESTROY Spina, bad fight for both men to take, Spina would be battered and Calzaghe wont do anything for his legacy by taking this fight.

[TheSilverBoy]

correct i live about 30 minutes away from calzaghe but i will lose alot of respect if he fights spina

[Majesty]

And people talk about Floyd not fighting anyone? If this fight happens I'll be MORE THEN sure that Calzaghe will sit on that Lacy win for hte rest of his career

[OumaFan]

I would doubt it, just doesn't sound right

If it does happen...it would be the worst mismatch in a championship fight since, I don't know, I was gonna say Floyd-Bruseles but that wasn't a championship fight. Spina's horrible.

Spina who?!!?!??!

I know Frank Warren is in the business of protecting his fighters, but this ain't no green, wet behind the ears 22 year old who's fighting here, this is the longest reigning world champion for feck's sake.

Calzaghe has said that he has three fights left, and has always said that he wants the big fight.

While I don't think that this is the fight that is going to be announced, if I see Frank Warren's mug announcing a fight against an undefeated New England boxer, I will be very disappointed. This is not why Calzaghe got into boxing, he has always spoken of his desire to fight the best, and one of his three career-defining fights against this punk.

I don't want to see this fight announced. period.

If it happens he's sitting on the Lacy victory and won't ever face another "threat"

Much as it pains me to say it, and I will wait until the conference call with Frank Warren tomorrow until i pass judgement on Calzaghe's opponent, but if it is, i'm going to have to agree with you, and face facts that he wants to retire undefeated, and with the longest reign of a current world champion.

If it is a True report, then It will Probably be a safe tune up fight against a younger elusive fighter before a big showdown in Las Vegas 2007 against ROY JONES jr!!!!!!! You all heard it from me 1st. Roy will take on the winner of Woods vs Johnson and if he wins than he Fights Calzaghe and Retires...

[Memphis]

Cant see Jones beating the winner of that fight so thats that fucked

I would be surprised if anyone other than Calzaghe got first crack at the Woods Johnson winner.

I dont know about all that killer, I wouldnt count Roy out just yet he still has enough starpower to sign a fight the winner of Woods and Johnson.... Roy destroyed Woods and against Johnson he would fight a different fight this time around... If Johnson gets into a war with Woods he will have some unneeded extra miles on him Glen isint a spring Chicken either in addition to a shatload of fights he has been in, he was a fulltime construction worker up until last year so like most fighters that dont work and rest there bodies Glen's been a working man he has to slow down much sooner than later

[Memphis]

Jones V Woods was a masterfull display, probably Jones last great performance, how unlucky was Clinton
