Toney, Jones, Hopkins

Die.

 

Hopkins fought Calzaghe
Jones is fighting Calzaghe soon
Toney was never close to Joe's weight class when Joe was ready for it to happen

I'm a Calzaghe fan as I am a huge fan of Jones and Hopkins and this thread just makes you look like an idiot.

 

Everybody stop posting on this thread

 

I'll be more specific... Die quickly.

 

Jones never ducked Joe, if I remember it was Jones who called out Joe. Calzaghe demanded more money, fight in Wales and asked Jones to wait because of his hand injury.

The Hopkins case was discussed and money was the issue there as well.

Was James Toney ever called out by Calzaghe?, if so please mention. Last I remember Toney was already a light heavy/cruiser when Joe was rising.

 

Joe ducked them all so I can't say who is my fav that Joe ducked or shyed away from....at least Joe is finally facing the men after they are past their best....better late than never, right?:think

 

I think you're making a mistake replying seriously to what is clearly a joke thread but, seriously, when did any of the above happen?

The issue with Hopkins was that the fight was agreed, in the US, a sum of money was agreed, then Hopkins came back the next day demanding twice as much money.

Of course he was. Like, I said, clearly a troll thread. I take it this is a reference to the large number of times American posters have included Toney on a list of fighters Calzaghe supposedly ducked.

 

im indifferent to any of them...


i dont like rap!

lol.

 

He makes it clear right there that it was just impossible because he was only "coming through" when Toney was in his weight class. Why didn't Joe move up if he wanted it bad?

The claims about Jones is bull**** coming out of your pocket pal, Jones did try to make this fight happen when both were at super middleweight. Jones was the star at the time, champion and the big name, he deserved more money. Joe wanted it in Wales, more money that he was offered and also wanted Jones to wait as he got a hand injury, that hand injury was the last point and Jones wasn't going to wait, he moved up and dominated yet another division. If you think Jones handpicked opponents at light heavyweight then you probably think Calzaghe had elite competition in his defenses at Super middleweight?, compare Jones' Light heavyweight resume only with Calzaghe's super middleweight and tell me if it's handpicking please.

Hopkins' case seems to be the only true one there, Hopkins did demand more money and they believed it was far more than he deserved which is acceptable but to consider he "ducked" him?, I don't think so. The man fought him when he was 42 in the end, doesn't look like someone who would duck competition.

In the end none ducked each other in my opinion, you're just trying desperately to make a point but in a very poor way which is obviously on purpose. The situations weren't good enough for any and if anything it's all against Joe back then since he was the one who never seeked the recognition and didn't push hard for it.
