Manfredo's chances...

[ICB]

i think manfredo might last full distance manfredo is pretty tough fighter i see calzaghe winning easily but it wont be as simple as abc as some people expect remember when calzaghe fights lesser opponents he dont perform as good

[Hulk]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PETE BEAT JOE CALZAGHE JOE IS OVERATED SO WHAT HE BEAT JEFF LACEY DID ANYONE SEE HOW LACY STRUGGLED IN HIS LAST FIGHT HE WAS OVERATED TOO. 19 DEFENCES AND THE ONLY ONES WHO WERENT HALF BAD ARE A WEIGHT DRAINED CHRIS EUBANK AN UNLUCKY ROBIN REID,CHARLES BREWER,BYRON MITCHELL,OMAR SHIEKA,AND OVERATED JEFF LACY AND IN HIS LAST FIGHT HE DIDNT ENJOY HAVING A WAR SO WHO KNOWS COME ON PETE KNOCK HIM OUT.

Peter couldn't knock out Alfonso Gomez, a fighter whose great ring acomplishments include a stalemate trilogy with Jesse Feliciano.

yea but jesse did win md against 42 year old vince phillips :P

Yup, shame not a single person in the arena thought he deserved it :P

Including me, though I wasn't in the arena. Fuk Jesse Feliciano he's a punk ass bitch and Vince Phillips won that fight.
Now as for Manfredo's chances, probably slim and none.

But I'll be rootin for him, not cus I'm a Manfredo fan, but because I cannot stand the fukin Calzaghe hype machine. I hope Manfredo embarrases his ass by doin better than expected and possibly puting him on his ass. Its possible. Kabary Salem did it. Who? Exactly.

The fight will be over in the first round.

Not at shot. If he couldn't KO Lacy, he ain't gotta KO Manfredo early. I'm not staying he won't stop him, but you guys who think Joe is going to blow him out immediately are overrating Joe and underrating Peter. If Manfredo gets KO'd in round 1, I'll run Providence Place Mall wearing nothing but a Welsh flag to cover my privates He'll hang around until late and/or lose a decision.

do they make welsh flags that small?
Anywho....
What performance has manfredo shown you, that makes you think he can hang with Calz? Or even any TRUE top contender? His 3 losses out of the last 5 fights?

First off, get your facts straight. If you want to paint to weakest picture, you can say he lost 3 of his last 8. The contender loss to Gomez came in a 5 rounder when his last fight was a 12 rounder. Then he lost a legit fight to Mora, but he was ROBBED in the second Mora fight. He has never been KO'd.

And I ain't saying Peter is going to win. He's just not going to get KO'd early.

Hmm, who has Manfredo beaten...can I flip that question back to you? Who has Calzaghe beaten?

[Big_Deuce]

I'll agree with you that calzaghe has beaten them all,
But are you even trying to compare the caliber of fighters they both have faced?
Seriously?

Of course Calzaghe has fought better opposition, but it's not like Calzaghe has huge names on his resume, other than Eubanks 10 years ago, and it's not like Peter is any worse than quite a few fighters who have gone the distance with Calzaghe, ie Salem or Ashira. Unlike Lacy, Peter has a little defense. He can roll and counter and he will have a game plan. That will allow him to survive for while.

Manfredo looks better at SMW than he ever has. He's improved drastically in every area. He's come along way since the TV show.

I hope so cuz if he hasnt then this fight will be a farce with Peter getting blown away in no time. Manfredos defence is a big concern in this fight . No doubt he is game enough and will come to fight but that style palys right into Joes hands .

After winning every fight since turning pro it would be a massive shock if Joe lost to a guy like Peter after the guys he's beaten . I cant see Peter winning by lucky punch or points but this is boxing and anything can happen .

Manfredo will make Calzaghe look effortlessly good and so it should be! A boxing clinic and a brutal finish!

Perhaps he meant a Welsh stamp? :P

[Brockton Bomber]

Joe C is like Nas, (the rapper). He can drop a classic, but only once every ten years.

I just think it's interesting that Calzaghe fans are so quick to dismiss this Manfredo fight as a farce, when most of Joe's title defenses have come against fighters pretty much on Peter's level. If this fight is a farce, so are 90% of Calzaghe's fights. I don't know how many times I can repeat myself, that I'm not predicting a Manfredo victory. I'm not. Joe is clearly better and he should win easily, as is the case with almost every fight he takes. This fight is par for the course for Calzaghe.

I know what your saying and I'll give you a

He defended his world title against Tocker Podwill for fucks sake, compared to that Manfredo is a step up.

I reckon if Reggie Strickland would have been willing to travel to Wales, at some point Joe would have defended against him too.[quick=380,320][/quick][quick=380,320][/quick]
