joe calzague couldnt lace roy jones boots in his prime

His posts where he weaves a tale about how, in fact, Veit, was a world class fighter is outright impressive.

The guy could make you believe that Karbery Salem was an ATG

 

he wont stop trying, 4 sure.

 

vs Bryant Brannon - retained 1996-10-04 IBF SMW

vs Benn - retained 1996–11–09 WBO SMW

5 months?

Both were champions, Jones moved up in weight to avoid the unification bout.

 

maybe but surely he moved up for the bigger division and pay? smw was nothing back then.

 

SMW for years had Benn and Eubank this side of the ocean and your over-hyped guys.
Collins beat both Eubank, and Benn and called Jones out after one of his fights.

Collins vs Jones(Unification) would have been a bigger fight than Jones vs Mike McCallum at LHW

 

Have you ANY evidence that he "avoided the unification bout"?

Its the equivalent of saying Canelo would be avoiding Cornelius Bundrage if he went to 160!

Or that GGG would be "avoiding a unification" with Taylor if he ever went to 168!

 

bit of a claim, that. mike mc> Collins, though he was getting on.

Collins was still just a wbo champ, which was a body little known or valued in America. furthermore in a minnow division. what major star would want that?

 

No evidence no. Besides this video when Steve Collins gets in his face and calls him out on live T.V.

Collins was well known around Europe.
He beat both Benn and Eubank(equivalent of your guy beating Toney and Hopkins)
The fight was a no brainer.

Also the WBO strap is not valued in USA because its probably the only belt which was not corrupt.

This may hurt your braincells but, at his peak Collins in Europe was regarded as a much superior fighter to Roy Jones.

Same way Joe was.
We all know what happened when Joe stepped up. With his inferior WBO belt.

 

Was peak Collins number 1 pound for pound in Europe? Is kell brook currently #1 pound for pound in Europe? Or is it Ricky burns? Perhaps it is Billy Joe Saunders.

 

I dont know how good Joe Calzague is, but Joe Calzaghe has a very clear win over Roy Jones

 

Wasn't there a European documentary that pretty states the opposite of what you just claimed?atsch

 

Peak Collins a much superior fighter than Roy Jones...

Jesus I have heard it all.:nut

Either someone is an idiot or just trolling for a laugh. Most likely both.:deal

 

46-0

 

Not the same Collins the got beat by Reggie Johnson not that one right ?

I would like to know who thought Collins was superior to Jones?
