If this poll's topic doesn't materialize, the next one ought to be "what excuse will Calzaghe use for nto receiving a gift decision from the judges..."

When will Calzaghe announce his injury preventing him....

The first poll was just about funny. And I mean 'Just'. But this is poor.
And seriously, if you're trying to score points with the whole 'Calzaghe is crap, and hasn't fought anyone', this ain't the place. We've all seen Joe's career, so us Briton's have the genuine complaints. We all know how good he could have been, and how good he turned out. I think the 'ducking' jokes would work better with the American audience. It might still be funny there, most of us here just don't care anymore; we've had to suffer years of crap from Joe. America only became interested when Lacy showed up.
Mind you, whilst I feel Lacy is on the way up, and Joe is on the way down, not to mention the additional fact that I've never been a huge fan of Calzaghe and that a Lacy win is better for boxing, I will piss myself if Joe wins, especially if he does it as easily as I think he might.

Take it easy, mate. Tomorrow's another day and the girls are beautiful and the sun will shine again.... oh no, sorry, not for you, you're from this rainy place, right.

Nowt to do with the British sense of humour. It's just that trying the same joke twice... diminishing returns, and all that. Plus the fact that the first attempt wasn't so much funny, as everyone over here not caring. Calzaghe is perhaps the least respected world class fighter Britain has produced in my time.

I have been very critical of Calzaghe for a long time now but i am going to be a total hypocrite and back him to KO Lacy. I have only criticised Calzaghe for his lack of ambition and dire string of foes but now he is a meaningful 50/50 matchup i think i am going to support him Go Joe, spark the Yank. Lol.

Of course Lacy isn't that good. If he was team Calzaghe would never have selected him as an opponent.glahn wrote:Agreed, I'm fully behind him. I've always liked Lacy, but I don't think he's as good as some are making out, and part of me would love it if Joe made our friends on the other side of the pond eat their words. Would be a great night for British boxing.

Handselected, mediocre opponent.lvlarc_uk wrote:Pundit what you gonna say when Calzaghe schools Lacy?
Should have fougth Kessler for a real challenge instead of ducking him.
But Calzaghe won't school Lacy. The most one could expect is that he slaps slaps slaps Lacy into submission a la Mitchell.
Cheers,

Well, Lacy will claim that he got a depression from the grey skies, the permanent drizzle, and the cold temperatures. In this climated no proper person could live, beware of fight. The ugly women, the unbearable food, and the warm, thin beer they served him accelerated his mental collapse. When they offered him a fight in Europe they had shown him pictures of Italy, and he had been more than willing to go there - but not where they sent him.dumdane wrote:I have this vision, that this time around it will be Lacy pulling out a few days ahead of the fight.
Just imagine listening to all the explanations about why it's completely different from when Calzaghe pulled out.
And who could blame him...
