I mean come on last night was great and he is a great champ but come on. Some of the crap I have read on here is insane like he would massacre hopkins. NOBODY HAS EVER DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah you can talk all the trash you want but until he fights the big boys(Hopkins,Taylor,Winky,Jones, Etc he is not the a real champ.You cannot fight cab drivers for years and a few contender bums and one legit fighter and expect me to put him in my P4P list. It is just logic.He is a great fighter.
Calzaghe wasn't interested in fighting Bika and it showed in the performance. Calzaghe wanted to fight Kessler and was completely motivated. It's as simple as that
Mate, you are underrating Bika...Bika is THE Master of the Dark Arts. Even better than Joe himself. Joe fought him according to HIS (Bika's) plan, on BIKA'S terms...and he won! Joe is just like that! He is an emotional fighter who wants to prove that he can do anything! Why don't you see that?
I don't completely agree with this opinion, but there is SOME truth in it. Calzaghe reminds me of RJJ to the extent that he looks absolutely sensational in the handful of big fights that he has had, but would probably not be undefeated if he had taken the road of the other fighters on the P4P list. Look at the P4P list. For the most part the fighters on that list have fought at least one fighter that is currently or was at the time they fought on the P4P list. They also fought in different venues, not just in their backyard. Mayweather P4P fights- Chico Corrales,Ricky Hatton,Zab Judah, Jose Luis Castillo, Genaro Hernandez Pacquiao P4P fights- Morales 3X, Barrera 2X, JMM Hatton P4P fights- Tsyzu, Mayweather Winky Wright P4P fights- Shane Mosley 2X, Bernard Hopkins Shane Mosley P4P fights- DLH 2X, Winky Wright 2X, Vernon Forrest 2X I could go on, but the point is obvious- Joe Calzaghe P4P fights- ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me you're joking? The fight would have been interesting a few years ago but Calzaghe would just be too busy for Hopkins now.
imo corrales was not p4p when he faught mayweather and zab was definetely not either. kessler was 10-12 on most p4p lists 8-10 on some and lacy was p4p on most lists at the time
Joe is a GREAT fighter. That being said, massacreing Hopkins is a joke. Show some respect for the fight game.
There is finally someone with some logic on here. I am not saying jow is not great guys he just has to do more to convince me. I mean I just read a reply on here from a guy who said he was not motivated to fight Bika.(Which is a stupid remark) But if that is the case then it just shows that he has chosen not fight good oppostion but to take cab drivers on to pat his record.
taylor,, jones, winky???? you think they are better then kessler? kessler would beat all three of them, as well as JC, and i dont even know why your mentioning jones... lol. and the bika fight proves NOTHING other then that JC fights down to his competition.
