Breaking down Calzaghe's dog **** resume

Calslappy refused to leave the uk until his last couple fights, and that was against 40somethings...I think those 40somethings showed in the 1st round of their fights why calslappy ducked them all those prime years...

 

:deal

Your post is ignoring what I wrote and instead is making excuses :yep

Why did Hopkins price himself out during their original negotiations?

Taylor was supposed to move up to SMW and be the one to beat Calzaghe - but he struggled against career-154lber Spinks and then lost twice to Pavlik

Hopkins moved up to LHW and won the linear title by schooling Tarver and was supposed to be the next one to beat Calzaghe because he never lost to white boys, but Calzaghe beat him

Pavlik was supposed to move up to SMW and be the next one to beat Calzaghe, but he was schooled by Hopkins

Chad Dawson was the next Great Black Hope to beat Calzaghe but he struggled to beat Johnson and Tarver

What does any of the above have to do with Calzaghe's reluctance to fight outside of the UK?

 

Didn't ignore sht, said that ***** calslappy refused to leave the uk, tough sht if you can't figure out what that means...

Toney, Hopkins and Jones were the biggest fighters of his era, and regardless of your over-rationalized dribble, calslappy was too big a ***** to fight them...Pretty stupid theory you have on 'ducking' slappy while they were prime, they had no problem fighting him when they weren't...Both still knocked him on his ass though, kinda telling...

 

Calzaghe's record speaks for itself. Why anyone would waste the time and effort like the OP here has in trying to pull him down is beyond me.

 

If you aren't ignoring what I posted, why did you quote me and then proceed to talk about a completely different subject?

Yawn...as previously stated, Hopkins pulled out of a fight vs Calzaghe back in 2003 by demanding double the purse he'd agreed to - Calzaghe had agreed to fight him in the US:

""I have no problems taking the fight on his territory," said the 31-year-old Calzaghe. "My message to him is: 'You want it, you got it.' He can have it anywhere and any time."

Hopkins' promoter Don King and Calzaghe's backer Frank Warren reached agreement for a fight last year, and the US television station Showtime was prepared to underwrite the event. But after a $3m (£1.8m) payday had been agreed, the fight fell through when Hopkins doubled his purse demands."

Toney's last fight at SMW was in 1994, Calzaghe's first fight at SMW was in 1996 :roll:

RJJ was hardly the easiest fighter to get a fight with and he never looked to unify against the likes of Dariusz Michalczewski because SHOCK HORROR he wouldn't travel outside the US :scaredas:

You dumb, stop using big words like 'over-rationalised' when you don't know what they mean :yep
