However, no matter what Calzaghe shows up I think manfredo will be outmatched. I wouldnt be suprised if Manfredo legitimately takes 3-4 rounds, but also wouldnt be suprised if he doesn't get credited for it. People in England (except for bilbo )must think Calzaghe craps golden nuggets of euphoria. If a top fighter in the US took on the level of opposition Calzaghe has taken people would be bashing him non stop and FORCE him to take on better opposition.


As for your question, If Manfredo pulled a miracle (which he's have to do by KO no way in hell if see him getting a decision in Wales) I think people would say not only was Calzaghe exposed, but he was exposed big time. People would give Manfredo credit for being better than they thought, but I don't know anyone who would consider manfredo to be a world beater.
why would the people in england think that about calzaghe? he is welsh...

If calzaghe had priced him self out of a fight with hopkins the way hopkins did to calzaghe, joe would be getting even more stick than he does now

Or if he had made his name by beating to guy who were great at WW lol he would get shit
