    I think these quotes are more indicative of the man than the tough guy talk anyway.....
    Of course this was before Jones was shot and before Joe said he was shot and wouldn't want to fight him................and then fought him.

    "I could probably give Jones a tough fight,probably the best fight he's ever had',said Calzaghe,'But I know my capabilities and unless I got paid the crown jewels,I wouldn't want to risk it.'

    from www.THISISLONDON.co.uk/SPORT/ARTICLE-5499540-DETAILS/I+AM+THE+BEST,+SAYS+HONEST+JOE+/ARTICLE.DO.

    Or the DAILY MIRROR,June 1,1999:

    "I'm not chasing after Roy Jones.Be honest,Roy is a good fighter and I don't want tough fights.I just want big money."

    Had he come out with this song right after the Lacy the fight I would agree with him ..But taming an old Jones is far from an accomplishment ..I will give him credit for the Hopkins win ..He said he would come here and beat him and he did ..Boxing needs this guy ..

    To make interesting match ups ..Tell me you wouldn't want to see him fight any of the guys in the super six? A grudge match with Froch do I need to continue ?

    Who cares what he says. Joe C is an arrogant ****** who doubts him self deep down. His resume has taken a huge hit over the past year and people wont even care about him in the near future. He just gonna sit around a throw his life away doing coke.

    He is a legend. He beat Eubank in his 22nd fight. Its easy to sit back and say he's over rated but come on, Hopkins was ranked P4P best in the world by boxrec when Joe fought him. So, he fought Jones instead of Pavlik, so what? Jones was probably a harder fight. It annoys me that he gets absolutly no respect. If he was American he'd be a superstar.
