Floyd though must have done some performance enhancing himself in the past. Maybe even present but knows when to stop and then calls out a fighter he might face over it.

Bottom line is Floyd dodged Pac. The potential drug situation is an excuse. No way Floyd has been clean all his life. Most aren't. You just don't look like that through training alone.

Seems like the only thing left of interest in boxing is Floyd vs Pac.

I think Floyd is worried he can't pull his hit and run routine for an entire bout on Pac. Yet if he's going to claim he's the best then you have to fight the best. So man up Floyd, juice up if you have to, and have at it.

Boxing for the most part has really ruined my like for it with all the bullcrap and fixed scoring and pathetic fake showings like Floyd-DeLaHoya. That was such a sham.

Meanwhile, Hopkins/Jones II? LMFAO. I'd rather watch Holmes-Foreman fight in their late-50s than that.

Some guys just don't know when to retire. Probably nearly broke and need the prizes to keep going.

Slappy Joe, Slappy Joe, SLAPPY JOE CALZAGHE!!

Joe has his detractors and I get that but I dont think Calzaghe ever advertised himself as a big puncher. As a boxer though, he is way up there.

This is part 1, you can link through to the rest. What I love the most about this vid is the US anouncers who start off jocking Lacey massively before realizing Joe is in a whole different league. They start talking about a "surprise" and by round 3 they're already talking about Joe "putting on clinic".

I also love the fact that this fight went the full 12 rounds. Its a conssumate destruction of a boxer over the entire alloted time, not an early finish, but for 12 straight rounds Calzaghe literally pummeled the US' next big thing into next week. One of the best fights Ive ever seen IMO. Up there with Hatton-Kostya Tzyu
