So me saying calzaghe was deceivingly strong as his opponents mentioned it, Eubank, woodhall Brewer, is just made up ? Counter my claim then, and theirs. You pretty much have to accept it or your just a hater
sure thing. how old was eubank when calzaghe fought him? and who was the best fighter who calzaghe beat who was in his prime?
He started later in his career plus his holiday behind bars, all while joe was being a good boy an competing
You haven’t answered have u lol, just skipped on to the next obstacle in your head in denying calzaghes greatness
you're not very good at this. you've just set yourself up for me to repeat the question i just asked you. you should never get emotionally invested when you post, especially with me, because you're essentially telling me where to go next. so i will... if you're serious about "calzaghe's greatness", which is clearly what you're trying to prove, then who was the best fighter who calzaghe beat who was in his prime? i'm still waiting...
You are right It was no coincidence. He would have gone sooner but Hopkins decided against facing calzaghe when calzaghe agreed to go to America and face him I think Hopkins decided to fight hakkar instead for less
Just like bandeedo. I answered your question an asked you to prove me wrong about his strength yeah. You then asked me how old Eubank was an who calzaghes best prime opponent was, totally evading the question. Nice try though
He didn't need to The best smws were based in Europe. The top American smws had lost to the European smws
i knew you couldn't stay away. i mean, where else would you go? hopkins decided against facing calzaghe because (wait for it), calzaghe was 'high risk, low reward'. nobody knew whgo he was in the US, and courting the networks was how big fights were made.
you're not willing to give a straight answer because you can't think of anything, so don't waste my time.
Hopkins hadn't been dethroned as lhw champion when calzaghe challenged him It could be argued that calzaghe beat Hopkins sandwiched between Hopkins best wins of tarver, Wright, pavlik, Jones, Pascal Are you really making these comments and not aware Hopkins decided against facing calzaghe? I can send you the link
who said anything about LHW? when hopkins and jones were kings on the biggest stage of all and P4P kings, calzaghe was nowhere near the US. don't try to sell hopkins at LHW to me when we both know you're trying to gloss over his MW reign.
Really?? I don't think wladimir made his career defining title defences better by a few defences being in America. Do you? The best smws from America were lacy and Mitchell and calzaghe beat them. He didn't have to go to America. He was the champ
he was at SMW, i have no contention with that. he was the best at SMW (even though he and ottke never fought each other). but the real sticking point is joe's willingness to play frank warren's game of getting 'a belt' and milking it at home. that's why he never fought jones or hopkins in their prime, and it's exactly why khan and hatton (who left warren and went to the US) fought prime canelo, mayweather and pacquiao on their resume.
