CAn't see why he has much to say at all though.. Everyone knows this fight is a joke, and the joke is on Calzaghe for taking it.














No the joke is that during the initial press conference's Calzaghe spoke about the fight like it was legit and called Manfredo a tough and worthy opponent...Then once the criticism started pouring in then Calzaghe acts as though the fight was forced on him....This again proves my theroy about Calzaghe being a paper champion and the Lacey fight being the highlight of his pathetic career


The sad part of it all is Calzaghe is the longest reigning SM weight champion...I believe the sports longest reigning champion? has a perferct record and has the skill to be so much more and fight so much better opposition with the same success....Instead he is happy fighting guy's like Manfredo who are practically gimme defenses....It is more of a disgrace to the title and the word champion then anything..........

Just my opp but then again I will openly admit I do not like Joe Calzaghe as a fighter so I am a bit harsh on things when it comes to his career choices
