    And after waiting for a long time for a shot he lost his position when beaten and the victor got the shot

    Undoubtedly the WBO are a joke when in comes to enforcing their mandatory's. Freeman Barr was Calzaghe's mandatory for 2.5 years and never got a shot, which wasn't a bad thing, he would have been just another no name fighter on Calzaghe's resume.

    Basically if the champion wants it, or if the mandatory is a bigger draw who would be a more lucrative champion than the current champion, then this is the only time when we will see a mandatory enforced. So when Wlad fought Leapai it was a mandatory in name only.

    beat the IBF champ
    beat the WBA champ who had to relinquish his title to fight Naz

    Calzaghe as WBO champ
    beat the IBF champ
    beat the unified WBC/WBA champ

    Michalczewski as WBO champ

    This has got nothing to do with what me and Imp were discussing.

    Again, this has got nothing to do with mine and Imp's initial conversation.

    But the point is, according to Frank, Joe was happy to fight a guy like Barr.

    Without being disrespectful, Barr and Mkrtchyan weren't great fighters.

    But Joe was happy to fight those type of guys, just like how Dariusz was happy to fight the King's and Lakatos's of the world.

    Both Joe and Dariusz milked the WBO, while trying to pretend that they wanted huge fights.

    Those two guys have a lot of similarities between them.

    calzaghe loved to fight weaklings at domestic level and charge his fans world level prices for them. he pssed on welsh people for a decade and got away with it.

    hes ignoring you because you are lying again failey.

    joe didn't beat many top smws.

    loudon doesn't believe that joe beat lots of top smws either.

    and Adonis has just started his career and won his title late, yet you are comparing him to wbo joe winning a title in his 20s entire career.
    in other words a lie again.

    its no wonder that you are ignored, you lie multiple times in one post even.

    What was wrong with Mkrtchyan? He KOd an undefeated 27-0 fighter who had beaten future WBA SMW champ Magee, and had beat a fighter who gave Lacy a tough time.
    In fact the 27-0 European champ Mger beat is in my opinion a far greater European champ then the one Groves beat to win Mgers old title and Mger has a bigger win with that undefeated European champ Chanet, than many in the top 10 today.

    Dariusz also fought Thadzi, and guess who he beat who you rate so highly :smoke

    What about them? You said easy ride, yet with that title all of them fought other defending champs, which ruins your arguement. There are many examples of good champs who hold a title and havent been involved in fighting rival champs, yet these fighters mentioned all did fight unifications

    But Joe didn't fight top opponents for a large portion of his WBO reign.
