    I said 4 times. I never said it was all in the same year, which is why I highlighted the

    I thought this part was interesting:
    So he pulled out the Johnson fight 3 times in 2004, with explantions ranging from arguments with wife to back pain. the fight got lined up again in 06, with him pulling out claiming his hand was now hurting. Just like it was 'hurting' before he faced Lacy.

    ?????????
    What Woods is that? The Woods who was also willing to defend his belt against Calzaghe after Johnson III, with Calzaghe choosing instead to stay at smw fighting the likes of Peter Menfredo? That should tell you how serious Calzaghe was in moving up, back in 06

    Zod,

    Seen as that we only deal in video evidence, maybe it's appropriate that we bump up your setanta VIDEO of Joe dismissing Roy, the same year as he fought him.

    ****ing hilarious!

    Regards, Loudon.

    Calzaghe before the Hopkins fight
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDtzdAYTOA[/ame]

    Go to 6:35
    "Roy Jones is past his best."

    "Would you see that as a let down to fight Jones as your last fight?"
    "Yeah.Probably."

    "Roy Jones was a great fighter, but he is not a great fighter anymore"

    This is an interesting article which highlights a point a made a few pages back. Calzaghe signed a long term deal with Showtime from as early as 00, effectively killing any chance of him fighting a HBO fighter
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxing/2994449/Boxing-Calzaghe-has-Jones-in-sight.html

    In other words Jones should of delayed attempting to get immdieately back on HBO so he could fight a little known fighter from Wales:rasta
    How do you chase a fighter by entering into long terms contracts with HBO rivals?

    Ha!

    He didn't want to fight Roy. It's as simple as that. There's a whole load of evidence to support the fact that he did nothing to try and make the fight.

    But apparently because he said he wanted the fight, it all should be ignored.

    Anybody can say they want to fight anybody.

    Calzone the phony = The greatest fighter who ever lived.

    There was no blueprint.

    Thornberry tried, but Thornberry failed.

    Sobot tried, but Sobot failed.

    Veit tried, but Veit failed.

    Veit tried again, but Veit failed again.

    Hang on Joe, Didn't you once famously boast "I don't do rematches"!?

    He wanted the crown jewels to fight Roy, around the time that he was fighting the Sugar Ray Robinson esq Tocker Pudwell.

    Ha!

    Regards, Loudon.

    To tell the truth I think him and ****** were just using Jones's name to hype up Calzaghe. The feared Calzaghe who Jones is running from.
    It should be pointed out that he stayed on Showtime from 00-06, effectively killing any chance of a fight with a HBO fighter
    True

    thats a good point :deal

    what year do you think this fight would have made most sense pal?

    it would have been a fight the whole world wanted to see - the man at 168 v the man at 175.

    After Brewer back in 02. The WBO elevated Calzaghe to a super champion after he made 10 title defenses. What that meant was if he moved up he would of automatically become Dariusz's mandatory challenger.
