Calzaghe needs to fight twice more

Even if he beats Kelly and Roy I won't consider him an ATG no way in hell. This doesn't change the fact that he only stepped up recently and spent his career fighting endless bums. 3 or 4 major step ups don't change the fact that this guy declined all major fights because he didn't want to travel out of Wales, doesn't sound like an ATG to me.

 

What a dreadful post.:-(

 

I wish boxing fans didnt act like 11yr old John Cena fans.

 

Consider it whatever you want, that's my opinion on this guy. Fact is if both Lacy and Kessler(who were champions too) didn't travel to Wales even those 2 fights wouldn't have happened. The only fight you can give him credit for flying for is the Hopkins fight and he waited for Hopkins to be 43 and shot to death to sign for it, same thing for Roy Jones now and the funny(yet planned) part is that his fans will praise him for beating those guys in the long run and totally ignore the fact that those guys were beyond shot when he signed those papers or else he wouldn't have.

 

My point proven.

 

If you're being sarcastic then feel free to post something with facts so we can discuss, you might prove me otherwise and share some information I might be missing. If not then we agree.

 

Calzaghe fought outside of Wales on numerous occasions. The fight with Reid for example. A Welshman travelling to fight an Englishman in his own back yard is not easily done.

You are being way too hard on Calzaghe.

 

He fought Lacy in England as well that doesn't mean anything. The fact that he refused to travel overseas for it is the case and he made it clear that he doesn't plan to do so back in the day till he changed his mind after he saw Hatton do it.

 

So? :huh

Lacy was American. I gave you an example of Calzaghe fighting an Englishman in his own back yard.

You said, and I quote "the fact that this guy declined all major fights because he didn't want to travel out of Wales" which is wrong.

Home advantage is important but you are placing way too much emphasis on it.

In my opinion you are being too harsh a critic.

 

When Lacy moved to fight him it was considered in Calzaghe's backyard and Calzaghe claiming he WON'T travel to fight no one and if they want him they should come to him makes it clear that it is in his backyard regardless. Also my point isn't about traveling, it's about fighting the best at the right time which he didn't do.

Here's a nice article to shatter your dreams.

 

The mere idea of Calzaghe's final fight being against Roy Jones Jr is disgusting, it's a bad joke. And it's an act of cowardice by Joe.

Roy Jones Jr has not legitimately beat a live opponent since Ruiz in 03. That's FIVE YEARS ago (he got the decision v Tarver I, but he shouldn't have). After being knocked out cold by Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver then being beaten by Tarver again, Jones was so far over the hill he was coming up the other side. And even that was 3 ****ing years ago. Is a points win over a rusty blown-up welterweight enough to put him in with the #2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world?? (further proof: did you see what Hopkins done to the great Tarver in 2006?)

Roy Jones Jr was the greatest of our generation and a top 10 all-time pound-for-pounder. Can we please leave him as that? Joe only wants him because he's a name and it will be a walkover, it's a shameful decision by him. The authorities should prevent Jones from taking part. He hasn't beat a top 10 light-heavyweight in years, surely that means he isn't eligible to fight the #2 P4P guy?

If Calzaghe takes the Jones Jr fight and retires, he will have lost his chance at legendary status. There is no honour is beating up a faded legend for cash.

Kelly Pavlik is the only challenge left for Joe. A win over him would seal Joe's immortality with even the most cynical American fans. Pavlik is the undefeated middleweight champion who has true KO power. He should take up that challenge or retire.

 

I read that Joe lost a lot of money in a divorce a few years ago and I think he needs to refill the coffers. Some times life gets in the way of the dreams of fans. Can't blame Joe one bit for fighting Roy.....in fact, I look forward to it.

 

Calzaghe has a better chance of beating Pavlik than he does of beating Roy. (IMHO)
The Roy Jones jr. fight makes more sense, This is the one fight that has been hanging in the breeze for some time now. Both are at the perfect stage in their career's where any advantage will nulify itself.

The Pavlik's and Dawson's should slap their Mama's for having them too late, because they defo don't fit in with the other era. (Joe don't need them, they need Joe)

One and done for Joe, I'm down with it. (Win or lose)
Same goes for Jones Jr., these youngster's are gonna have to make their own Bones.

 

Read the post properly nutjob.
