Calzaghe - Does anyone believe that Calzaghe pursued the biggest fights...

Exactly! Calzaghe has only been on peoples radar (160 -175) since the Lacy fight. before that nobody was interested.

 

I've spoken about Joe's resume and potential opponents at length

You probably didn't notice at the time, it was your alter-ego, the Joe Calzaghe fan

 

i've discussed JC's resume with you more than once, as have others. what more can we possibly wring from this subject?

 

haha

Corona, answer my reply to your thread then. Your telling everyone to answer your questions but you aint answered mine....and it was pretty much the first reply. lol.

Please.

Fights with Hopkins/RJJ/Toney were NEVER an option. He wasnt even in the same division as any of them at the same time for a start. He wasnt a big name then, so why would they fight him ?

Ottke and Beyer would NEVER fight him so that just leaves people like Lucas/Siaca/Girard etc... who he would have had no problems at all with.

So tell me, what "unified champions and ATG's" as you put it should he have fought ? Because fights with RJJ and HOpkins were never an option

 

Please name these quality opponents he should have faced? Because im sure they were all crying out to fight a unknown welsh belt holder.

u are pretty biased and cant see the flip side

 

forget asking questions. Corona cant answer them.

I posted my reply nearly straight away and he fails to even acknowledge it, instead picking holes in lesser arguements as he seees fit and ignores main points.

sigh

 

What proof ?

RJJ/TONEY/HOPKINS probably didnt even know who Calzaghe was back then, so if they didnt know who he was why would they fight him ? Its no one ducking anyone, its the circumstances werent there.

There's proof that Ottke turned down 2 fights with Calzaghe, thats been posted on this forum countless times.


You do know he was schedules to fight Glen Johnson twice, back injury the first time. Hand injury the second time. He actually fought Sakio Bika who was a replacement for Glen Johnson because of the injury as JOhnson scheduled another fight.

Again, nobody avoiding anybody.

Calzaghe fought the best opponents available, and his resume is only underated by people on this forum, because of the way he's dispatched his opponents. People like Charles Brewer etc would be championship contenders today.

So tell me, who should he have fought then ?
