joe calzague couldnt lace roy jones boots in his prime

Why are you ducking Imperial?
Its not who was the superior fighter, its who people felt would have won, which isnt always down to just the superior fighter in terms of skill or ability, for example look at how Rahman had a win over L Lewis, but that is regardless as Jones didnt seem interested in fighting Collins.
Now back to the original question, who do you think had done more at SMW. Stop ducking the question. I didnt when you tried to swerve away and bring up LHW.

 

Enjoy your hols

 

Agreed. It wasnt long before Collins was a MW beating Pyatt and then jumped up and beat the then most accomplished SMW who at that time had made the most defences and had the best resume in the division at that time.
Problem is Loudon probably doesnt know the full facts

 

Collins was on the verge of retiring before he got the call for the Eubank fight. Eubank's original opponent Ray Close failed a brain scan leaving the door open for Collins, who not only took the fight on short notice but had to move up a division as well. Collins deserved to win the first fight by a 7-5 type decision. He should of won the rematch by at least a 10-2 type decision. I really cannot see how any one could have Eubanks winning the rematch


Off topic:
Collins only got 50k for the first Eubank fight. There was around 700k for each of Eubanks world tour fights and he was paying his opponents 50k and keeping the rest. Proving that Eubank, Jones and Hopkins were no different from Don King

 

the first fight was very close and I could see an arguement either way.
I could not comment about the purse money, but Eubank was fighting very regular and made great tv

 

I felt no matter how many times they would have fought Jones would have won there you go ! :hi:

 

calzaghe is the only guy I know who fought greats when they were 40something. He is the king of cowards therefore by default, and never did anything great - not my words, words of boxing experts, and by inference joes words too (I don't want tough fights)

even mundine only fought one such great when a faded fortysomething, he never stretched it to 2.


mundine is braver than cowardzaghe.

 

Joe only ever fought 1 fighter in his 40s and 5 years on that man is still a world champion atsch

How about you quit being a ***** for just one day :rofl

 

yes you laugh at yourself - why are you trying to pretend that Roy Jones wasn't weeks away from 40.

SO rounding up his age to 40 is not a bad thing.

You talk like Jones was prime, if so then you fail.

 

what I just wrote was fact :deal

what you just wrote is presumption :deal

Have a day off . . . . . :izzl:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz

 

haha so you now deny joe fought 2 fortysomething/virtually 40something for his career pinnacle.

What you say now, boy, you admit your massive flop in thinking it was 2 prime ATGs he beat?

 

Roy would would've beaten Joe, Benn, Eubank and Collins any day of the week in his prime. Stop that nonsense. At least give a proper reason why he wouldn't - not that "PED" "Ducking" BS

 

Just before the fight was announced Calzaghe was heard to say " Jones is shot Why does he keep on fighting needs to retire" After fight was made Roy became a living legend to Calzaghe who proudly proclaimed " I beat Roy Jone jr I'm a legend killer" :rofl:rofl What a doozie thjt welsh twit is

 

Ha!

It was funny!

Yes mate, it's 2 hours ahead. It's also a pain typing off of a phone.
