    By the time Joe got his lame WBO strap, Jones was ruling the Light Heavyweight division.

    I would love to see this fight. November is perfect.

    Proabably not, because he had much bigger fights ahead of him at Light Heavy.

    Joe was considered an alphabet titlist by US boxing fans and Roy was the man at Lightheavy.

    He probably did want the fight but didn't have the clout to pull it off.

    WHat BS! Joe didnt want to get out of his nest back when he had real challenge to face. Calzaghe is an opportunist going after old shot fighters. Joe wont dare fight Kelly Pavlik.

    what has Lacy ever done that deserves any merit? What makes Kessler so great, he is good but just too overrated by Calzaghe fans.

    That's why Joe stayed that long in the UK and after 10 years he decides to come to the US?

    he called Jones out but i dont think they really wanted to fight him or Hopkins when they really wanted the fight(Hopkins)the fight happened the same happened with Hatton and Hamed when they finally wanted to step up the fights happened.
