    could have chosen to defend something non-wbo too so that someone would notice him and he'd get mentioned in papers. But no he ran from anything that wasnt wbo, except for one sole defence against middling green middleweight bika that petrified him so much that he dumped the IBF title pronto.

    the prosecpt of picking up a loss was too much for cowardzaghe to stomach.

    the relevance is that joe is the only boxer in history to claim that fighting 2 fortysomethings was the crowning acheivement of his career.

    noone else has ever had the .....cow...character.....to pull off such a claim.

    - Calzaghe chases these fighters and beats them at home at their own weight in his first 2 title fights at a new weight.
    - Cleans out SMW to a point that years later he still held a massive shadow over SMW and LHW, where other fighters were just fighting Calzaghes leftovers and leftovers of leftovers
    - Wins all of the SMW titles
    - Equals a record number of defences in the division
    - In 22 SMW title fights beats 9 world rated fighters who either were, was or became a SMW title holder as well as many of the whos who of the division
    - Won world titles away
    - Best SMW resume ever, best SMW ever

    The facts

    why does irrefutable truth take as long a congressional investigation.

    My appologies friend. Lol

    I have actually recently moved back home to Alaska, so you won't likely be getting any mail from Oregon. I'll try to get it sent ASAP, though I am running low.

    Except they aren't all facts, and it doesn't take an awful lot of things into account.

    even faileys lying post tell some truth - that less than half of joes defences were world class.

    in truth it is indeed less than half. reid, injured kessler, lacy. 3 people in 11 years.

    So could have RJJ but he gets given a pass a lot of the time for some reason... actually we've done that to death...

    I was genuinely worried when skimming this thread that Herol wouldn't be in here spraying his angry anti-Calzaghe bile around. It'll be a sad day for the forum when he decides he's got something else more important to rant about.

    Roy could have done more to face Joe?

    Or do you mean in general?

    This forum wouldn't be the same without Herol. :lol:
