    Yeah Hopkins was happy fighting lightweights, super featherwights and light welterweights. But god forbid that he moves and fights someone his own size. #cough#

    I have more vcash than you, in fact I've never lost a vcash bet so therefore you can take it from me: Had Joe C. ever dared to venture across the water and take on the best competition, he would have had several losses hung on him right quick and would be regarded as a high quality SMW, but nowhere near the level of RJJ or a JT. He was smart to stay where he was fighting the local english pub crawlers, it allowed his fanboys to build his myth for him instead of him having to build it himself with his fists, which he could have never done if he had fought in the US.

    Joe is a much better fighter than Hatton and PBF is no better than RJJ prime for prime and they don't really fight that similar.

    Also Calzaghe fights nothing like hatton, also Joe had awesome footwork too, a good chin, excellent stamina, excellant hand speed and a really intelligent fighter who can adapt to any style.

    I am not saying he wins, RJJ was awesome in his prime, at the time i thought unbeatable! but what I am saying is the comparison of PBF vs Hatton and RJJ vs JC is rubbish!

    1st of all, having more vcash than me means nothing. vcash is measured as a barrometer to establish whether a poster is qualified to speak to ATG esb TITANS like HEADBANGER, 46, anglo, timeout, bailey on esb. congratualtions you passed the 1st criteria (must have been a lot of luck involved with that one :lol:)

    calzaghe attempted to make big fights in america but hopkins cowardly ducked him

    Bigger yes but Calzaghe was better than most of the boxers who went the distance with Jones.And as i said before im not saying that he would beat Jones just that he would give him a tougher fight than most people would expect.

    Joe was gassed against a shot to hell charles brewer....he was tired against old RJJ too.

    Joe was sloppy as hell..and his "footwork" was merely FALLING IN WITH HIS EYES CLOSED.

    YOU NEED TO WATCH SOME FIGHTS.

    Very difficult to compete with a prime rjj but having said that calzaghe was awkward and may have given him a puzzle in the ring, not saying he would beat him though, i wouldnt put money on it anyways
