People forget that Calzaghe was going to fight Collins. Collins bottled it and then he fought Eubank with no issue. Two all time 168s. Frank Warren then decided to ruin his career with contenders but not while Jones, X and Ottke wanted none of it. Nevertheless, when Joe was gonna leave Warren started delivering and Joe started clearing house and then Lacy, Kessler, X and Jones became history. Joe isn't perfect, far from it but hate is just blatent form is pathetic.

You're forgetting alot of the other fighters Hopkins fought.... and Roy Jones Jr. fighting Antonio Tarver 3 times is a huge feat in and of itself. Calzaghe is a scared little ghost of a fighter, never fought anyone worth their salt, never has, never will. Grade A british chump. Now you have a fighter like Clinton Woods who just went the distance with Tavoris Cloud. Mind you Clinton was very very aged, and still put up a valiant fight. Thats what you call British Boxing, not some chump who fights Sheika, and Lacy.... pfft Clinton was busting out on the scene while Calzaghe hid in his own filth.
He didn't take as many risks either, both those guys did FAR more. Calzaghe might have over 20 title defenses and only two or three names AT MOST could be mentioned as good wins. Isn't it weird that he claimed Jones is too much threat in his prime for little money and also demanded that Jones come to Wales to make the fight because he considers his self as "the champion" yet he made the move to the U.S. with HIS LINEAL title(far better than the WBOgus) to fight him when he made sure Jones isn't just shot, but BEYOND shot. Jones has been shot for nearly 5 years when Calzaghe fought him and exchanged rounds with an inactive past prime Trinidad before that fight. Hard to respect something like that.
not a fan then? 'ghost' interesting! still trying to work out whats more insulting being called a slapper or losing to a supposed ***** slapper,lacy hopkins and jones should be ashamed!
chriskim: yes fighting tarver 3 times is a huge feat! or it would have been if he had'nt have lost 2 of them! 'tarver' ****off rocjy balboa did a better job than roy.
I guess it depends who we are talking about here. If it is about a bunch of sore loosesrs that could not stand their over hyped home boys getting beat then there will be little respect. If you are talking about the rest of us you are wrong again.
