Sorry LF..missed this.



I haven't been following it as I should. It's this weekend? Apparently this Welsh guy is pretty good ....for being from across the pond that is.

There's also a good one form NE Ohio who should be fighting for a title soon. I think he's a middleweight ,but can't think of the name...let you know when I do.

If you are talking about Joe Calzaghe, he is amazing. Have you seen him fight?

Ah is.



And I have not...he just became known to me about 3 months ago in the paper. Is he a brawler ala Ward/Gutay , etc ? Or a finesse/counter guy or what?

Not a brawler, that's for sure, he isn't really a finesse boxer either. He is just a hard walker, his hand speed is his strong point, he could probably land four punches in the same time it takes any other boxer land two at the most.

He wasn't at his best in his last fight a while back, but i think he broke his hand early in the fight, so he had excuses.

If he is over the hand break, he is very good. A joy to watch in the ring.

Who is he up against? I thought he was fighting Alex Aurther for some reason sometime soon.

Anyone else on the card this weekend?

Calzaghe, the Welsh guy, is very good. Unfortunately, the fight against Kessler isn't until November.

Are you thinking of Kelly Pavlik? He is supposed to fight Jermain Taylor next. I saw a date in September mentioned, but not sure if it has been finalized yet.

All four of those guys are unbeaten. Should be interesting fights if/when they happen. Not as interesting as Featherhands/Diaper, but interesting nonetheless.

Oh boy..I REALLY have catching up tp do.

Yes!...Pavlik is the guy...from Youngstown I think.

Featherhands would hit that guy 6 times before he hit the ground.

I recommend Calzaghe/Lacy and Pavlik/Miranda.

Both similar to how I envision featherhands/Diaper turning out.

You better hope you're not Lacy, Morty....... that poor guy got such a pasting! I remember that fight well. the Lacy camp came over giving it all the mouth saying that he was going to knock Calzaghe out within three rounds and it was pointless in Calzaghe showed up.

The Calzaghe camp said nothing other than watch the fight, it was a demolition to say the least!!!

They even made Calzaghe fight at like 3am our time over here, so that Lacy did have to adjust to the time change.

Nothing seems to get in this mans way.... he is a machine and on his day i think he is the best in the world.

Have you ever seen Ricky Hatton fight??

Well I saw 3 clips and the guy is very impressive in a lot of ways.


He seems to lack power,but you don't need to have that given all the other things he can do....it was very,very impressive.

Ricky Hatton is first class in every way.

Yes, i think his next fight is due to be Mayweather, which should be a brilliant fight because both of them respect eachother greatly.

He only recently had a fight in Las Vegas, which i didn't see, but i heard he won easily.

Did you watch the fight?

Enzo is a very good boxer who is improving with every fight. In a way i'm glad he was taken the full distance, he usually just knocks everyone out within three rounds.

I'm going with a blast from the past and vote for Oracle 80. If pg85 is getting votes may as well have ole Mike involved.
