    And I love the bit about "we wanted Lennox Lewis but he is not fighting" :lol::rofl:patsch

    What a complete Glass Jawed Joke Roy is. Why did he back out of this fight?

    Oh, here it is:

    :lol::rofl 20 mil to fight Sanders? What a delusional idiot. Same thing he did with Tyson and Lennox demand an unrealistic purse. What a fraud.

    A Calzhage fan should be ashamed to even use the word coward...good thing they don't have any pride.:rofl

    The Welsh Rabbit would be roadkill if he even thought about fighting John Ruiz.

    Thats interesting.
    Also the T Tate fight fell through so Calzaghe fought sub T Pudwill, S Ottke didnt want to face him, G Catley had been KOd and beaten not too many years earlier in the amateurs, The A Echoles fight also fell through and Calzaghe fought sub W McIntyre

    Calzaghe could have used the same blueprint Jones did just sit back and pot shot and Jay Nady would take care of the rest. Easy win for Calzaghe. It would be like a sparring session and a turtle chasing a rabbit. Jones engaged as little as possible and either threw or connected in the single digits in several rounds. Calzaghe could have done the same.

    Which fighters by equivalent on those lists do you think, who Jones fought were better than Eubank or Kessler?

    Corrie Sanders was not a huge name and was all wrong for Roy and he knew it.... It is not proof that he would have not fought Tyson or Lewis, bigger names for bigger money.

    As a matter of fact, I would bet money on Sanders taking Roy out faster than Lennox would have, who would have stood and played cat and mouse for a minute.

    This is complete hogwash, and makes me believe you are either trolling, or really don't know boxing..:lol::patsch
    Calzaghe lacked the power to keep Ruiz off of him... I don't care if you want to admit it or not, but Jones hurt Ruiz, which kept Ruiz in the center of the ring second guessing.

    Calzaghe would have also taken too many of Ruiz' punches, he was not as elusive as Jones and did not have the ability to use Jones' blueprint, they are two entirely different fighters man..

    :rofl @ easy win for Calzhage

    Joe didn't even get an easy win over a shot to hell Charles Brewer.:lol:
    Ruiz would have knocked that badger-faced clown into a sub-lunar orbit.

    Could have... would have.....that's Scary Joe's career in a nutshell.

    The welsh Rabbit doesn't have the power chin balls or skills to follow any blueprint layed by RJJ.

    Single win quaility Joe probably takes it..

    But Roy beat a bigger chunk of the top 10 fighters..

    Rico hates American fighters...especially of a certain hue.

    If Joe were a Brother from the hood Rico would be his #1 hater.

    They let too many illegal immigrants in Atlanta:deal

    It is proof from Glass Jaw Roy's own promoter that he pulled out of the fight because he had a hissy fit and wanted 20 mil to fight Sanders. If he wants 20 mil for Sanders than he wanted unrealistic money for Tyson and Lewis as well as I have already shown.

    Reluctant Roy wasn't going to dare to take a risk. He knew that China Chin would have been obliterated live on HBO in crystal clear HD. Imagine that upper cut Lennox landed on Iron Chinned Vitali landing on Glass Jawed Roy :lol::rofl

    It does not surprise me Roy wanted big money for a fight he knew he had a serious chance of losing, against a much larger man, southpaw, with fast hands and huge power..

    Do you not understand that boxing is a business?

    Calzaghe got dropped and almost KO'd by feather fisted bum Kabaery Salem, dropped and badly hurt by below World class Mitchell, dropped by old man Hopkins who hadn't stopped anyone in years and dropped by shot to **** Jones.

    Jones had the power to keep Ruiz honest, but Ruiz would laugh at Calzaghe's hopeless, feather fisted slaps, walk straight through him and KO him very early, most probably the first round.
