    Its just a bit a momentum killer, he's getting old, his best attributes are his speed, stamina and chin and at least the first two will start to fall off before too long. He needs to move now, if he can't get Kessler fine, but I gotta think there's something better out there than this

    Well, if Beyer and Kessler are both being unreasonable (I don't know that they are,
    but it sounds like they are) then what about Tarver? I'd like to see it.

    NOONE OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND TAKES MANFREDO SERIOUSLY!

    ESPECIALLY NOT ME.

    ...well, ok, maybe the sandman does, but his shot @$$ wasn't even throwing punches.

    , the game

    interesting read, but nonetheless offers little in the way of solving the issue of where calzaghe can find a credible opponent....

    maybe manfredo, though not really a credible opponent IMO, is the only real option for a calzaghe who wants to keep busy...

    manfredo is nothing IMO, but if its a way for calzaghe to stay busy and noone else is willing to step it up then i suppose it would have to suffice...

    i think calzaghe would annihilate jones jr at this stage in the game....a mismatch at this point in time...

    I don't see why everyones giving JC stick 4 looking at Manfredo, who else is there realisticly?
    everyones priceing themselves out now, no matter who he fights next his hatters are going to give him stick any way, its a homecoming fight after his biggest win before heading to the states

    Reid has been skin-dead for years. I do not see any value in Kessler beating him. Beating skin-dead fighters proves nothing. Just look what happen to Lacy first time he met a non skin-dead guy.

    not sure I think he'd be a good test 4 Kessler, he's better than the easy hand picked opponents Kesslers getting now

    In his latest 3 fights Kessler has met Eric Lucas, Anthony Mundine and Manny Siaca.

    Eric Lucas was over the top but not as shot as Pemberton or Reid.

    Anthony Mundine was ranked no. 3 by the Ring when Kessler fought him in Oz.

    Manny Siaca was WBA-champ and ranked no. 2 by the Ring when Kessler beat him.

    Hand picked?....
