    Evans Ashira was another one, he was a small 154lb fighter, had one fight at middleweight were he got sparked out in 2 rounds, then in his one and only ever fight at 168lbs got a shot at Calzaghe. After losing to Joe he then went straight back to fighting 6 rounders against club fighters at 154lbs.

    The WBO is one of the main 4 always has been it's that simple. If you want to degrade the meaning of the belts then Calzaghe was regarded as the divisions number 1 for a long time as well. The reason Bika got the shot is because Froch wouldn't take the fight as well.

    outright lying should be beneath you.




    and yet he was only 'known' after lacy, his 2nd last fight.

    Well this is a lie because he had been in with Howard Eastman and pushed him all the way and was a middle weight not light middle and Calzaghe beat him with a broken hand, like he did against Reid.

    He fought a past it Eastman a couple of years after he fought Joe.

    Look, Calzaghe was a good fighter, just not the ATG people like you think he is, the FACTS speak for themselves and no amount of tying your self up in knots over it is ever going to change that.

    Herol Gee how was Lacy Calzaghe's "2nd last" fight as you put it? He fought Bika, Manfredo, Kessler, Hopkins and Jones after that.

    another mysterious broken hand lol whenever joe gets pushed all the way by a weakling from 2 divisions down this time.

    Evans was a weakling defence, not sure why anyone would deny it, and a LMW for most of his career too, both in his prime and later on. Mate you should big up the better defences rather than pretend the fake ones were any cop.

    quite right mate, it was after Kessler that he became known. His last fight at smw, not his 2nd last. my bad. way to go joe, world champ who got fully recognised in the world in his last fight.

    mind you the lacy beatdown was the beginning of his exposure to the world. That was a class act.

    Did you see the clip of Joe's hand after he fought Ashira they showed it on TV, his hand was a right mess. Also Ashira fought Eastman twice once before and once after Calzaghe, both were hard fought 12 rounders so he wasn't a light middle bum fighting 6 rounders he was a middle weight contender.
