Joe Calzaghe's comments on bunce's hour

Joe sounds like an old Lion roaring from behind a hill that he is going down fast.

 

''Everybody knows I've had no interest in Joe since he vacated the WBC belt''

''Oh yeah - I offered him £5million to fight me''

WTF? He's talking ****.

 

Joe was still wrong to fight Jones instead of Pavlik irrelevant of what Hopkins did to him two weight classes above his natural weight. That was the live fight that should have been made, and in any case styles makes fights; Hopkins, and Calzaghe are very different.

I think Joe now may be starting to regret that decision. He may well have got more money fighting Pavlik with a bigger cut, as the Jones PPV sales were abysmal - and in the end they actually had to give tickets away for the fight to fill the arena. He also would have got a lot more credit from the boxing fraternity, something he recently moaned about not getting for beating Jones.

 

Joe embarrassed himself in the Robin Reid fight..........

the year was 1999.

Naseem Hamed was at his peak and making predictions and backing them up

Calzaghe dosent have the personality to match what Naz was doing

But like a dickhead that he was even more so back then he tried to copy Naz

Robin Reid had never been knocked down I believe.......and never stopped.........as a amateur or professional

Calzaghe boldly copied Naz by saying

"I'm going to knock out Robin Reid in the 3rd round" atsch

After two rounds

the third round began

Cringing I was at Calzaghe...............what a dick head !!!!!!!!!!!!1

He was throwing punches at Reid as if he was going to end it and fufill his preidction

When he threw a few slaps at Reid he then began to sneer at Reid and laugh throw his gumshield.................as if he had Reid in big trouble and he was going to end it in this round just because he thought he could be like Naz

Depsite these smirks sneers and evil grins............Reid was not in trouble of being knocked out at all atsch

Calzaghe trying to play Naz

3 rounds my foot

he was lucky not to lose the ****ing fight !!!!!!!!!!!

 

What I was implying is that a guy like Chad Dawson, who has actually held his belts for a few defences and fights in the same weight division deserves a shot at him. Or Hopkins, who ran him close in their fight. I don't see how Froch can expect to jump the queue on the back of winning the vacant title. It's like after Calzaghe won his first belt and calling out Roy Jones and expecting the fight straight away.

 

calzaghe is totally correct with his comments - frochs got a belt but his no challenger - lets face it can froch actually beat kessler - no way !!

 

I take your point but people will use any stick to beat Calzaghe. If Joe had done what Hopkins did Pavlik would have been 'overrated' and Joe should have fought someone from his own weight - you know how it goes.

I'm not sure he would have made more money fighting Pavlik? You could be right as obviously gate receipts would be up but is Kelly PPV'ing at the mo?

 

The

Calzaghe V Jones fight was just so they could both share a ring before they retire for good just to be able to say in years to come they did at least fight each other

In the same way Jones and Trinidad fight was made

Hopkins fight however was different...............Joe bit off way more than he thought he was

 

If Froch beats Taylor next he'd be showing he's got way more balls then Calzaghe by fighting the best and he'd only be about one win behind Calzaghe overall I think.

A win against Taylor for Froch in his first defense would be bigger then Kessler, Lacy, Hopkins or Jones wins for Calzaghe I think.

 

Thats bull****. Kessler is a monster and I think will prove it in his next few fights. The way Calzaghe beat up Lacy was an amazing boxing masterclass. The Hopkins win was better than it seemed which was proved by the way Pavlik was schooled by Hopkins. Only the Jones win was shite.
Froch has more than a fair bit to go before he is ranked above Calzaghe imo.

 

Kessler looks like he could be something special but he hasn't achieved as much as Taylor I think. Former undisputed middleweight champion with 2 wins over Hopkins, a Lacy win, draw with Wright and loads of decent, other B-level wins.

Think Taylor win is bigger then Kessler, an old Hopkins and better then Lacy.

If he beats Taylor I wouldn't put him ahead of Calzaghe right away, but he'd show that he's well on the way to surpasing him. Calzaghe fought a load of easy fights before his good wins whilst Froch would have been going stright in at his first opportunity.

 

atsch Is that you Carl?

 

hopkins was knackered and desperate and decided to cheat.

 

Kessler has one reasonable stand out victory on his CV (Andrade). His record bears a remarkable resemblance to Calzaghes, it is rack full of stay at home fights against C class mandos.

Why is Kessler always brought out of the hat in debates where Calzaghes record is being questioned?

 

He might "deserve" it, but its not going to happen is it?
