This guy gets on my nerves. He popped off at the mouth again; spouting some bull**** as to why Joe will never fight Pavlik. Here are the quotes; "At the end of the day it's never going to happen...Simply because I don't feel he deserves a shot yet at the big-time. On the back of one performance against a subdued, light fighter. There's a vast, vast difference between Gary and Joe Calzaghe. Gary would be the first to say that. It's chalk and cheese." "I'm not interested in boosting the profile of a fight that aint going to happen. At the end of the day, you've got Carl Froch, you've got everybody coming up with some [fight]. We want the best available. Someone who I have always admired. Let's be honest about it. Do you think Pavlik deserves to be mentioned on that level? Pound-for-pound as the best fighter in the world?" "I look at it with a different perspective," Calzaghe added. "Motivation is about will. Will is about passion. Does he care about the public, Joe? No. So why scream about it. I want rewarded. Joe wants to be rewarded. Let this guy [Pavlik] win five/eight different belts. Come and talk to me face-to-face, pound-for-pound, somebody who can have a chance to jump the ship." "Without a question of a doubt. Big Time. He beat Jermain Taylor so what? Joe would have wiped the floor with Jermain Taylor. A Light weight small puncher. So we should give a fight to everyone who wants one? 'It's my turn next'. Let him earn the right to go into the position. In Britain half the public don't know who Pavlik is, only the connoseurs of boxing. It's not bigger than Roy Jones-Calzaghe, its impossible." "Without question it is the harder fight. But Joe said he wants to go out in flying colors. The best beats the best. He's got a right to that claim. He deserves it. Hypothetically, if the s*** hits the fan it happened with an all-time great."
A typical Enzo interview, the odd good point mixed in with the usual load of shite. There are certain people's interviews you should never listen to, notable Brits include Enzo Calzaghe, Carl Froch, Mick Hennessy and Naseem Hamed.
I don't know who is winning this 'who can spew enough bull**** to cover a football field' battle between the trainers. It's evens I'd say.
Enzo Calzaghe likes to hear himself talk and it doesn't take long before he get annoying. However, he is right when he says there is more money to be made fighting Roy Jones. Kelly Pavlik isn't drawing the fans in the kind of numbers that Calzaghe would like.
And Roy is? Roy can't draw anymore. The Tito fight wasn't sold out, his two fights before that had embarrasing attendance figures.
