    he pulled out because he could no longer motivate himself for another british level nobody. I expect that he saw the wbo title as a road to nowhere facing retiring or green brits.
    For a guy who had mixed with mcallum, kalumbay and the best brits like eubank and benn, wassens fixs were getting insulting.


    Lets not forget that collins was the type of man who actively chased prime roy jones.

    a lot of people didn't fight roy jones in his prime who made their name in Europe - a lot - but you really need to stop making it your life's mission to discredit joe Calzaghe
    you can't fault the man at SMW, even though you sure can in the bigger picture (and especially when bailey is posting)

    oh i really wasnt, i was crediting steve as being someone who chased the biggest fights, not uk bouts. And roy jones is certainly the ultimate measure of the biggest fight out there.The thread was at the point of discussing steve in detail, so I was following that.

    but now you mention it i can see how you can interprete it as an inference about joe because joe said he wasnt chasing roy jones. Sorry, I was absoultely NOT referencing that fact that joe DIDNT chase jones, only that steve DID. I clearly DID NOT mention joe in the sentence you quoted - only steve. I have zero interest in discussing calzaghe and jones here.

    No, he got sparked cold by Eastman. That is why ! When a Fighter like Collins gets sparked and its never happened before it can do strange things to a mans mentality. Collins knew the writing was on the wall and rightly retired ! In his prime nobody dented him, so I can understand ! Joe would've savaged him

    Totally true. Adapted a different style to accommodate his weak hands. People sometimes forget this !

    Herol is mentally very unwell, and racist.

    Joe was a beast, but I think he'd most likely lose to a prime RJ, Toney, Nunn, McClellan, and Eubank. He fought a good version of Eubank, but not the best. All those had something that could of neutralized Joe's offense like Hopkins was doing for the first 6 rounds. At 175 Calzaghe vs Mickelczewski would had been real interesting too.

    Me benig a massive froch fan means you are wrong. Last time I checked, Carl is not a black man, but be my guest and try and prove he is please.

    Awaiting your evidence that Carl Froch is really a black african man. Noone hold their breath.

    HerolGee There's never been an Indian fighter am or pro Ever - that had 1% of the ability or success Joe Calzaghe had. You are from a nation of billions of unathletic, weak losers, that couldn't be any worse at boxing, absolutely hoplelessly embarassingly terrible.

    And your favourite fighter ever Herol Graham wasn't in Calzaghe's league.

    herolgee is a name. The relevant bit to me is the Gee, not herol. Graham is one of my fav MWs, but not number 1. It would be arrogant, in my view, to name myself after one of my top favourites or an ATG boxer, so I dont.

    Once again you claimed I am hating on white SMWs in calzaghe, but failed to exlpain why my number 1 fave SMW is white man Froch. Unless u think Froch is black?

    Awaiting your explanation for that fail.

    If Herol Graham is a 'ATG' boxer then what is Joe Calzaghe hahahahhahaha

    Herol lost at british title level, European level, World level. He was a natural born loser, he always found a way to lose.
    Being an Indian I can see why you love him.

    my post claims that Herol graham is NOT an ATG boxer, which is the opposite of what you think I wrote.

    Which kinda kills off your reply in its entirety. You are not very good at this, are you? Replying, I mean.
    Next time, read the post you are replying to.



    u need to decide which I am, Pakistani or Indian, and go with one. You cant keep changing your mind where I'm from.

    You edited you post. hence why it says at the bottom it's been edited ;) Such a little liar aren't you Herol.

    You are extremely thick. You have old posts from 2012 where you admit you are Indian. and posts were you have cried when people have laughed at Indians on here. So I know exactly what you are.

    Let's take it to pm and stop being a coward eh?
    Take it to pm or take it to the lounge...
    I could embarrass you on here yet again for your hopelessly low standards ( ''i was sports captain at my primary school'' hahahha) inconsistent lies, lack of intelligence and blatant anti white racism. Put I'd prefer to take it away from here.. how about you stop being a coward for once in your pathetic existence.

    I have never claimed Graham is ATG in this forums entire history. Find a post where I claim I do, or pipe down. U have no evidence, ever, period of what you claim.

    You should learn not to reply until someon has finished tidying up their spelling if you dont want people to edit spelling after you reply.


    surely "taking it to pm" means that you are hiding in a cowardly fashion from others reading your post? I certainly dont share your fear, I'll write what I want here, thanks.
