Jones would been accused of cherry picking had he fought Calzaghe in his prime.

    around that time of apparent talking with ATG roy jones, joe got -

    will McIntyre, unknown nobody subdomestic
    Mario veit, king of 6-8 rounders
    injured retiring Richie woodhall
    omar sheika aka unknown
    rick Thornberry aka nobody

    meaning joe was a nobody. no roy jones was not seriously conteomplating facing a nobody who fights nobodies,

    True boxing fans know of Joe, since He won the title. He was on showtime as well. He was also on a Tyson undercard.
    You must be new to boxing, that's why you doubt the greatness of Joe.

    Look at Lacy's face after their fight. What caused that? Bee?:lol:
    Look at Roy's face after their fight.
    Joe can punch when his hands are good.

    I'm 24 and have been following boxing since I was in the womb. To know who Calzaghe was pre Lacy you have to be a really hardcore fan.

    Pre Lacy Joe was a nobody. The WBO belt he was holding at the time was the equivalent of NABF championship belt today.

    Trust me I know what I'm talking.

    it was LESS that the NABF title before circa 2003, after all, Calzaghe wasn't fighting opponents of NABF level, they were all apart from Reid a step below it, such as fighting the LOSER of the NABF title fight etc etc

    they lasted the distance, your logic is flawed. your own argument destroyed itself, in fact. good one - more of that please!


    if a fishwife slapped you for 45 minutes, then you'd have more blood on your face than Joe can manage. Joe was the living definition of a powderpuff slapper.
