Respected columnist Dan Rafael's thoughts on Calzaghe

It has to if his only promotion is a co-promotion with Roy. Otherwise how do you Judge?

If as you say Roy is a known **** promoter, then what was Dan expecting, that Joe was gonna be that good at this first attempt it could negate how **** poor Roy was, It doesnt make sense.

By the way it was a **** promotion, and undercard, but blame has to be shared, surely.

 

It's times like this I wish boxers would not say a ****in word. EVER.

I was a bigger Mayweather jr. fan before he started talking bull****. And now same with Calzaghe. Calzaghe is coming off like a twat.

 

I wasnt piling on Roy, I was pointing out if Dan wants to make a serious article on Calzaghe's **** promoting, then going by a Co-promotion doesnt make sense,Unless you mention both Promoters. If that reflects badly on Roy then tough, that promotion is Dan's basis for the article and cant be ignored.


Calzaghe's comments were nothing new, Tarver,SRR,Duran have all come out criticising the current state of the sport, not to mention web Journos and so called proffesional journos aswell. The reaction to Calzaghe's comments is farcical. He is part of the problem though, because he is part of Boxing, so he should have expected some criticisim. But the level of it is insane.


Boxers have done that since it began, Calzaghe is no different to the rest of them.

 

calzaghe is different to the rest of them because "the rest of them" fought on the world stage.

when you don't crack the US market but hold a title without US recognition, which is where the money and notoriety is made, then you're always going to play second fiddle.

 

You're sounding way too fair and balanced here.

 

Very true.

"Roy-cot" ring a bell to anyone? :think

 

Like i said he deserved some criticisim, but the level he got/getting is pathetic.


Im not acting like that, infact it's my point, nothing was said by him that wasn't said before, a reaction was inevitable, but IMO it's been way over the top.

 

I think Bad intentions was agreeing with you there.

 

agreed.

but roy made his name on th world stage while joe made his on warren's.

how many warren fighters have been allowed to test themselves overseas and why do you think ricky hatton left him and got a fight against the best fighter in the world after doing so, while joe 'settled' for faded legends?

please answer the question this time and not with a question - if you believe in what you say.

 

atually i'm getting tired...its late in denmark...

 

Then why put so much weight into what a second-fiddler runs his mouth about.

 

its been 'over the top' becuase hes such a damn good fighter who is trying to 'cement his legacy' on past it greats and he could have done better - or at least given it a shot.
