    He's been sectioned ha!

    That's what happens, when you believe that Roy was the same in 2008, as what he was in 2000.

    As I'm absolutely shattered, and have already discussed this in better detail with Loudon, I'm going to keep this simply.

    My position on this thread:

    'I wouldn't say he chased Roy, but I wouldn't say he avoided Roy, I wouldn't say Roy avoided Joe either'

    From one of my previous posts.

    I don't really see how I've been proven wrong, at all.

    Now General Zod, you stated the court transcript was dodgy, yet I offered to provide further evidence that it was legitimate, why have you ignored that?, just accept it's completely legitimate

    Now, it's amusing that General Zod accuses me of being a poster driven by agenda's. Let's have a look at some of Zod's greatest hits

    Perhaps because Hopkins was the consensus number 1 LHW in the world you dummy?


    Why not quote me properly you degenerate?

    I stated

    [url]http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13570919&postcount=426[/url]

    It's cowardly to misquote someone :nono:nono

    As for your little H2H posts, they mean **** all :lol: Why don't you go ahead and do me a prime Mike Tyson v Buster Douglas theorotical H2H post, they mean nothing.

    And of course Jeff Lacy was a very good fighter and a very good win, he was an undefeated world champion. But hey, since you deny that he injury didn't affect him

    'Jeff Lacy Suffers Possible Career Ending Shoulder Injury'


    [url]http://www.eastsideboxing.com/weblog/news.php?p=9130&more=1[/url]

    From 2006


    Now, onto my next point about agenda's. I noticed you bringing up Toney again. Now I stated the Toney win, albeit a very good win is overrated due to Toney being weakened by making weight. You responded with:


    [url]http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13049846&postcount=358[/url]

    Both from the same thread

    Now, General Zod posts

    [url]http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13600321&postcount=457[/url]


    Now come on Zod, where is the proof Toney was out of shape against Tiberi? :lol::rofl

    No agenda at all :nut

    Now, onto Toney's weight issues against Jones, have a look:

    [url]http://youtu.be/Fb9W87oQ4po?t=1h6m33s[/url]


    Roy Jones himself acknowledges Toney's issues with making weight, and Toney himself talks about it

    Now what was it you were saying about agenda's?

    Remember your logic of 'Calzaghe is Robin Reid level, because on an off night with an injured hand he struggled to beat Reid'?

    So, applying General Zod logic, James Toney is Dave Tiberi level I assume :think

    In being fair, Jones' win over Toney was superb, and he deserves much credit for it. Toney is also a lot better than Dave Tiberi, once again I'm pointing out how inconsistent Zod is, and how hypocritical it is of him to accuse posters of having agenda's. Want to see something else?

    Zod says Jones didn't have to travel to Germany, but says Joe should have. Here's General Zod speaking the subject before:

    When one poster states Jones didn't have to travel, in response Zod posted:


    [url]http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8088569&postcount=16[/url]


    Not stating Jones had to travel, just pointing out Zod's inconsistencies


    Admit it, you've never stepped into a boxing gym in your life! You know **** all about the game if you're serious about what you've just stated.

    I love how you whine about posts which criticise Jones' opposition, then do the exact same thing to Calzaghe as if you're not a massive hypocrite. You're the worst for this, as I've shown, you post to whatever suits your agenda.

    Finally

    Now I trust you've seen that fight right? Let me refresh your memory

    with the right ref, Joe might get stopped by roy, sure. Thats a fairly big 'if', when Joe almost always had the ref and crowd on his side.

    if you just suppose that he did take the fight with roy, at a time when roy was unknown to the world, then he'd have no reason to go cawardzaghe because he wouldnt be in awe of roy as he was in reality - and he would justgo in there and keep trying to win, no matter how many times he got whupped up. I dont think he would get stopped as long as he wasnt feeling overwhelmed from the moment he got nito the ring. Hypothetical situation, yes because Roy was the man was Calzaghe was unknown but in that hypothetical situation I dont think Calzaghe would wilt, he would keep going, thinking he could win it. Especially with a welsh ref, who did his best to keep roy away when Zaghes was getting inevitably bustup. Zaghes might be a bit of a coward outside the ring but hes got the desire to keep going in the ring once he gets going and starts believing hes the man.

    Where is the link? Having trouble finding one I see
    -Jones was the # 1 lhw, yet Calzaghe did not fight him
    -Liles was the # 1 smw, yet Calzaghe did not fight him
    -Pavlik was the # 1 mw, yet Calzaghe did not face him
    -DM was the # 2 lhw, yet Calzaghe did not face him
    -During his 10 years as a smw champion Calzaghe only fought 5 opponents who were ranked within the ring top ten

    But now he should of fought Hopkins instead of Dawson, because he was ranked no 1 by the Ring?

    The best win a fighter can have is over a prime world class fighter. Hopkins was ranked no 1 but he was 43 years old and 2-2 in his last 4 fights, with those 2 losses to a green contender. Dawson was the uncrowned King of the lhw division when Calzaghe decided to moved up

    Calzaghe in his own words:
    [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7349616.stm[/url]


    He knew he could outwork Hopkins. He couldn't of used that same strategy against Dawson

    Poor Bailey, crying because Calzaghe lost a mythical h2h matchup:crying:crying:crying

    Because as we all know it's really brave to insult people from behind a computer?
    When you do a h2h you assume that both fighters have prepared properly, not that one of them spends his training time in Japanese brothels.

    I know about the injury and he made a full recovery. If you were bothered to read some of his interviews you would know that.

    And here we go again. I've gone over this with you before. So I will just post up the links to my original posts:

    Here:
    The Dark Trade page 89
    Off night? Injured hand?

    Is that the reason why Reid couldn't miss with his lead right hook?
    Is that the reason why Calzaghe's jab and footwork were so ineffective in keeping Reid off him?
    Is that the reason why Calzaghe wanted to get a new trainer?
    Is that the reason why Reid never got a rematch?
    :lol::lol:
    I said Jones should of gone to Germany. So how on earth am I being inconsistant?

    Calzaghe fought in

    I said be consistent. Most of Calzaghe's opposition was terrible:

    Journeymen-Regional level(15)
    Branko Sobot-Juan Carlos Gimenez-Rick Thornberry-David Starie-Omar Sheika-Mario Veit
    -Will McIntyre-Miguel Angel Jimenez-Tocker Pudwill-Mger Mkrtchyan-Kabary Salem-
    Mario Veit-Evans Ashira-Sakio Bika-Peter Manfredo Jr-

    Former belt holders coming off recent losses(4)
    Charles Brewer-Richie Woodhall-Byron Mitchell-Robin Reid

    Belt holders on winning streaks(2)
    Jeff Lacy-Mikkel Kessler

    21 title defenses with only TWO wins worth mentioning.
    You are in no position to critisize anyones resume.

    Well lets see:
    You can't be complaining about the holding because Calzaghe held alot in fights see: Starie, Brewer and Lacy

    So you must be talking about the head clashes

    Kessler got outboxed by Ward and lost every single round. Take away the head clashes, and I think there were 4-5, and the result changes to Kessler losing by wide ud instead of by TKO.

    I have been off this thread for a long time, but it seems that only fans opinions try and argue with facts and KO Artist has schooled an entire thread, showing how Calzaghe chased the best.
    Looks like Zods weeks of research ended in selfpwning whilst Loudon cheered him on "Great post Zod, excellent reply to an amazing thread" only to fall down with him.

    Top marks to KO Artist for staying the course and destroying the haters

    Nice strawman argument, but you failed. Hopkins was the number 1 ranked LHW in the world, he was the big name, worth the most money. Beating him meant Calzaghe was recognised as the number 1 LHW in the world, it also meant the most money [/quote]


    Excuses, excuses :lol::rofl:


    What do you expect a fighter to say in interview? 'Nope, my shoulder's ****ed and my career is finished'. Zod fails again :rofl:


    Anyone who makes an excuse has an agenda according to Zod

    Then Zod goes and makes excuses for Toney's struggles with Tiberi :rofl:

    [url]http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13049846&postcount=358[/url]

    Both from the same thread

    Now, General Zod posts

    [url]http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13600321&postcount=457[/url]


    Where's that Benny Hill music again?

    Reid never got a rematch, because he priced himself out.

    Reid confirms he was offered a rematch

    [url]http://www.doghouseboxing.com/UK/Spud012105.htm[/url]

    Now, 90k is what Reid got paid to fight Ottke

    [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2003/dec/09/boxing.johnrawling[/url]

    :hi:


    Why did Toney lose to both Tiberi and Thadzi? Remember your policy on excuses and agendas, why not give me another one of your H2H breakdowns on prime Toney vs Thadzi and Tiberi, perhaps those could help clear things up?

    You categorically stated earlier that Jones shouldn't have to go to Germany. Nor did Calzaghe then, he went to Germany because he was mandated to, he went to Germany 2 years after DM lost his title

    What is it the end of? Why are you conveniently ignoring that Calzaghe didn't fight in Germany until 2 years after DM had lost his title?

    Shouldn't headbutts result in points deductions though? It was a TD, not a TKO.

    Anyways,
