Calzaghe, Jones and Hopkins

Wheres your video evidence like I produced atsch

 

You have just shown that Calzaghe was ducking Jones but as I have shown before Jones didnt want to know.

 

Former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr, speaking with The Sunday Times, responded to Joe Calzaghe's recent claim of chasing Jones for several years and being brushed aside. Calzaghe spoke with The Sunday Mirror and appeared to have some newfound hostility when Jones' name came up.

, but at the time he saw no reason to travel to Wales to chase the fight. Now that Calzaghe is the bigger star, Jones is willing to make the fight anywhere.

”You don’t go to somebody else when you’re the best, they must come to you, so I wouldn’t take the risk, and why would I? Why would I meet that challenge when I’m already the best? Why would I go to your country and give you a chance to allow the powers that be to take a close decision and give it to you?"

Jones says a fight with Calzaghe is the best fight in boxing, even better than a possible rematch between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr, scheduled for September.

“But right now this is the best fight out there, better than the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather rematch because we all know what the outcome of that fight is going to be – another win for Floyd. You don’t know the outcome of this fight, however, so it’s a fight people are going to want to see. There’s suspense, and that’s what makes for a big fight," Jones says.

 

Only to be schooled

 

atsch Its true. I have made the same mistake. Still you can bookmark that one Mind Reader and remind yourself that Im only 99.9% perfect.

Zod self pwned and brutally exposed by KO Artist atschatsch

 

Sorry Bailey

That was a shot I had to take, you understand.:yep

I admit I am nowhere near as good as you as posting quotes from different threads, that was the first time I tried it.

Its all in good fun though, nothing personal..

I have do admit, ESB would be a lot more boring if I couldn't read your posts and debate.:good

 

Loudon look at the dates to this older post on this thread please

Like I said before about splitting hairs. Just because Calzaghe said 5/6 years I dont think he meant an exact date because as shown he was calling Jones out before then



Whilst Zod is just showing quotes. I am showing video evidence that counters everything

even earlier

BBC, 21st November 2001.
"It's all very well being the best in the world, but you need big names for big fights," he reflects.

A fight with the Eric Lucas, the WBC champion, is a possibility, but unification fights are notoriously hard and expensive to arrange.

As is a bout with Roy Jones.

"To be honest I'm getting quite fed up with it," Calzaghe said.

A bout against the undisputed light heavyweight champion has been the subject of ongoing speculation.

"It's difficult because of the different networks involved. He's with HBO and I'm with Showtime - that's a massive obstacle in itself.

"Secondly, you've got to ask yourself whether Roy Jones would want to fight me.
"At the moment he picks his own opponents, fights the easiest guys he can and gets a lot of money for beating them.

"I'm dangerous and I can take the mega money out of his pocket. Why would he want to fight me?


Jones himself made the statement that he did not go fight him because it was too risky be it in the UK or states...he stated that on National TV while commentating on Calzaghe/Hopkins those words exactly get a copy of the fight and find out yourself....If Jones said it himself then any argument you have is out the window because Jones stated nothing about why should I have...I was ranked #1 he was ranked # whatever he said...IT WAS TOO RISKY FOR ME AT THAT TIME ESPECIALLY IF I HAD TO GO TO THE UK... he added nothing in on it....


roy jones the man who fought Richard Frazier the part time cop and then bragged about his greatness afterward....

Back in 2000, Jones said he was returning to SMW to fight Calzaghe, which Calzaghe wanted. Jones changed his mind

Maybe someone can show me video evidence to the contrary like I can

 

You are now quoting a kid of around 12 atsch worried about his father going into a fight and a father trying to comfort his worried son.

I dont know why I still give your posts a look. Totally shot and rubbish nowadays

 

atsch JONEs and HOP ducked him . When they finaly met him they lost . End of the story .:hi:

 

Some biased, blinkered fanboy morons on here still don't seem to understand very simple facts.

I'll break it down as clearly as possible to help them.

What more do these idiots need?

Calzaghe is telling it to you straight. The facts are there, as black and white, cut and dried as you like.

Move on. No debate here. :good

 

wow Bailey is getting his ass kicked, but at least he keeps coming back.

Bizarre parallel with the Jones-Calzaghe matchup when Jones wasnt shot2****, Calzaghe would keep trying even though he was getting his face mashedup and repeatedly knocked down round after round. Brave soul.

Mind you its a kind of 'alternative universe Calzaghe' who didnt hide in Wales and who didnt wait till Jones was 40 before facing him.
