Calzaghe the 'ducker'

He fought the then #2 SMW. . . now hes fighting the current #2 SMW. . . Ive said it before, I dont consider myself a Cal fan (holds too much on the inside and slaps a bit) but I give him his due respect for fighting Kessler, he's the real deal.

 

surprised no one has mentioned glen johnson. :yep

2 pull outs.

in 2004.

in 2006.

both injuries.

but the more cynical could argue otherwise.

 

Ducker would be my last choice. Spitter or swallower, however, are a toss-up. :think

 

I would favor Joe only very slightly against Glen.

 

And I'm even assuming it's the version of Joe that beat Lacy. Having it fresh in mind from watching the other night, I picture Glen in there countering nonstop, completely undiscouraged by the speed and angles which froze Jeff. And anything Johnson managed to land would cause the dragon to wet its tail and back the **** up; Joe'd never have felt anything like it.

 

i agree. More Like JC THE DUCKED

Hopkins wouldn't have him. jones jnr. steve collins retired beacuse of him (to save face. that says a lot. collins fought the lot. mccallum, benn, eubank.

 

The fight was pretty much done but then Woods upset the odds and beat Johnson .

But lets be honest here it's not Joe to blame for his opponents it's Warren and I'm sure someone will respond he should have left Warren then like Hatton , which would be a fair enough comment . But anyone that makes it should suggest which other British(because if he were to sign with someone else in the oast it would have been British) promoter should he have gone with ?

 

Never say never! :bart

 

Refering to Lacy as the #2? Don't see why Lacy should have ever been considered above Kessler - except if amount of hype was beeing counted. And the Ring always had Lacy BEHIND Kessler - even just before the Calzaghe-Lacy fight when everybody (american) was going bananas about how unbeatable Lacy supposedly was.

 

Hopkins would have never fought him, never will at that, it's not a winnable fight for the aging Hopkins.

Taylor will never fight him, again, it's not a winnable fight.

Likewise with with Wright, he likely wouldn't get a single round due to styles.

Jones wasn't going to fight Calzaghe pre-Tarver because Calzaghe at that point would have brought no money, even less than Tarver, and he's a danger.

I'm not sure what happened with the Johnson affair.
