Time and time again I hear some of you talk about how Floyd Mayweather is ducking top WW and taking on easy opponents. Fact is, for years he has been putting in work. People forget it wasn't too long ago when he asked shane mosley to fight him and he didn't want to. Now he's on top and he deserves to call the shots. He fought DLH totally under his request. glove size, site for the fight, agreed to get less of the purse, all of it. Cause he knew once he beat him then he could be in position to call the shots. I just think its funny how so many of you talk about how great Calzaghe is but no one seems to talk about how for years he never fought in the US. never fought roy in his prime. Benard in his prime. James toney in his prime. Tarver in his prime. Winky. The list goes one. So some of you talk about Floyd resume, Calzaghe has two creditable victories as far as im concerned. Neither on of them away from home I might add. So we'll see what he does on the 12th.
hopkins - backed out of a proposed fight in 2002. winky - too ****ing small. toney was fighting at cruiser by the time joe won his first strap. tarver - who knows? anything else you need clearing up?
winky was or s too small? cause didn't he just fight bernard at light heavy weight? And he fought jermaine two years ago at middle weight
Yeah well, you should try reading about a bit before claiming stuff never comes up. I've seen more Calzaghe fought bum threads than I've had hot dinners MOTHER****INGCNUTS
....and i gave you valid reasons why fights with the guys you mentioned never happened. no one getting "bent out of shape" here.
Calzaghe is European, the rest american. Those you named fight in the US mainstream Calzaghe fights in the EU mainstream. The fact that americans think the US circuit is automatically better than the EU is laughable, especially considering the amount of European champs thier are who have tore up the US when fighting over thier.
bernard didnt want to fight him overseas. why should he have? he hadn't lost in over 12 years and he was champ
because he looked soooooooo good at LHW right? he had to ****ing eat his way up! how many times must this be repeated? winky is no good above 160 and even there he looks kinda small. he packs on too much excess weight over MW and loses his leg speed, without it he's a sitting target.
I haven't seen in recent threads and I just joined recently and fro the threads I have seen its about floyd ducking top WW and many are about how JC is so great. So my apologies lol.
you can twist it anyway you want, the fact shall remain... bernard hopkins ducked joe calzaghe in 2002.
