    Since you know nothing about boxing, when you get let go of Calzaghes dick, come upstairs from your mother basement and get back on the computer and do some actual research and you might find out, as the rest of us already know. In 2003 Hopkins and Jones were still thought to be a class above Calzaghe, because they were....but dont rush, take your time and make sure you let Joe finish.

    did you think in 2002 that hakkar, carl daniels, and robert allan were in the same class as hopkins you ignorant, narrow minded ring comic / hbo puppett? you must have been delighted that these mega-fights got made peppermint pig :lol:

    we all know that bernard would rather fight those legendary warriors listed rather than recieve a career high payday to fight joe calzaghe :rofl

    A worthy bump, Anglo. I stand by the original comments. Let's see if the delusional fanboys have seen the light and realised Calzaghe is the GOAT.

    I thought it was common knowledge Calzaghe was ducked by RJJ. Wasnt there a RJJ quote somewhere saying he can build a legacy withut facing people like Calzaghe.

    Didnt know about Hopkins.

    Other way around, Calzaghe ducked Jones, even admitted it straight out.

    "I'm not chasing Roy Jones" agreed Calzaghe with a grin, around the turn of the millennium.

    "But.. I will tell everyone I was chasing him for years, once hes turning 40 and easy to beat. Same with Hopkins oh aye"

    first up, joe calzaghe had an unknown title at the time, in a fledgling division of little appeal to serious fighters.

    So its actually feasible that Hakkar Daniels and Allan were better than joe, especially since they were bigger titles at stake in a bigger division.

    And finally, you knew they were part of the DLH package, which far outweighed a fight with an unknown guy facing unknown opposition in an unknown division for an unknown title.

    DONT PRETEND JOE WAS IMPORTANT before his fight with Kessler.
