So Calzaghe is Italian/Welsh, Lewis is Jamaican/Canadian...

Had Calzaghe been a big name in America, he could have fought prime Roy for the crown jewels he wanted.

HBO PPV is the world stage, and generates **** tons of money. Hamed, Hatton, Lewis, Calzaghe all understood this.

I can't deny Joe is the greatest Super Middle ever, it is a lock for me.

Hopkins and Jones didn't want to fight him back in the day because he had great ability but wasn't known enough in America to generate the huge dollars.. Roy sure as hell wouldn't go chase him down when he was the best, It would have been a bad business move, and we know all three of their careers were carefully calculated risk/reward... So lets not point fingers.

 

you're right about the SMW - everyone needed joe

but that last paragraph is pure fantasy and you're being very naive if you believe it

 

TS should be banned for his constant nation-baiting threads. He epitomizes everything that's wrong with ESB.
