What is it about Joe Calzaghe?

Evidence of such a blunder isn't going to be freely floating around the internet.
From what i heard Frank was in minor negotiations and he isn't the type of guy to leave a paper trail linking him to such an embarrassment.
If Morris was WBO top 5 ranked theres no doubt he was on Calzaghe's radar for a potential match up, especially when he hadn't beaten anybody of note.

 

Could you imagine if Joe or Frank had've mentioned a potential fight with him, in a post fight press conference or an interview? Ha! That would have been unbelievable!

The WBO belt was worthless back then. He should have ditched it years ago. He was far too good to have that around his waste for all those years.

 

Bump this ****.

 

5 Star Elite post from a Team Elite General.:deal

 

Bump this ****:


There are a number of reasons why Joe Calzaghe is ESB's least favourite son.

All roads hardly ever lead to Calzaghe, hardly any major victory ever leads back to Joe, he is the bottom of the ESB food chain, (much like the Team ****** Corporation) he was 46-0 and there was always a blueprint on how to beat him. But silly billy patients who are strapped to their beds for 23 hours a day, are always going to love him.

It's clear that the majority of Calzaghe lovers on ESB, clearly never saw Roy or Toney fight in their prime, and only started watching boxing in 2006. Since Joe's victory over Lacy, his fans have lost touch with reality and they believe he was better than Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, because he never lost. A typical fan would believe that Joe could in fact have beaten Godzilla, because he could adapt to any style, and he had a fantastic engine, which would have allowed him to slap Godzilla down to size, with over 1000 slaps per round.

When Hopkins and Jones were unifying at 160 and 175, Joe was fighting in one of the weakest divisions in boxing.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were clowning fighters such as Tito, Ruiz and Jirov, Joe was fighting Veit, Ashira, and Sobot.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were testing themselves against good fighters, Joe was laying on the canvas after a knockdown by Sugar Ray Salem, and struggling with Robin Reid.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were relaxing on their lawn chairs after a hard days training, Joe was sprinting out of his door at that count of 2, after he'd realised that the mailman had dropped off his new passport that his Mum had ordered him.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were trash talking and creating excitement fighting other great fighters, Joe was washing Frank W's car for a bit of extra pocket money, until a huge WBO fight got made.

While the likes of Hopkins were fighting in front of millions, Joe was trying to put a show on at the local ice rink.

When Jones, Hopkins and Toney were fighting other good fighters in their own Country, Joe was pretending to find his his lost passport, even though he'd thrown it away.

When the dust had settled at 175, and Hopkins had lost twice to Taylor, and was 43, Calzaghe obtained a new passport, miraculously overcame his fear of flying, and finally decided to move up in weight, even though he'd been starving himself to make 168 for 4 years. Even though his own Father thought that he'd lost, and he scraped the win by the skin of his teeth, he proclaimed himself as "The legend Killer" then made it clear that he didn't do rematches.

When Roy was 9 weeks from being 40, and it was more than 4 years after Tarver and Johnson had knocked him out, Joe finally had the balls to fight the man he'd hid from all of his career, and who he'd dismissed twice leading up to the fight. Even though many experts had Joe to win, due to the fact that Roy hadn't won at elite level for 5 years, Joe thought he was actually in the ring with the 1994 James Toney version of Roy.

While Jones and Toney continue to fight like the proud warriors that they are, Joe dances badly on tv and sniffs lines of coke.

Lets's be honest, there's nothing much to love. His ugly slapping style, his reluctance to fight the best, his reluctance to leave Frank, his fruitcake fans trying to convince people he'd have troubled a prime Roy, even though he struggled with Reid.

Mentally challenged patients at the Newbridge nut house are always going to love him, and that will never change. The team ******s will continue to receive their medication, and all roads will continue to not lead back to Calslappy.

 

:good Montell Griffin style.

 

Banger hasn't signed in since he revieved this terrible mauling.

 

He was only good enough for the WBO belt. He knew himself what his limitations were!

 

Ha! He'll be back. You've got to love Head.

 

I think the whole Lacy issue shows you the mind set he had.

He went out and performed brilliantly against Lacy, but he tried to pull out at the last minute, until Frank and his Dad Enzo talked him around.

I've got a huge amount of respect for anybody that fights, either amateur or pro. I've never been in a boxing gym in my life. So although I never liked Joe, and I bash him on here, I do have a huge amount of respect for what he did.

But if he had those issues against Lacy, what would have happened if he'd have been up against Roy at his peak?

The whole Lacy issue tells me that he was never serious about fighting Roy, despite what he said.

 

Why is it only Joe who only gets credit for beating Lacy? The claim Joe ruined him is ridiculous.......He slapped Roy for 12 rounds and never hurt him once apart from opening a cut over his eye...... Lacy fought the same fight and looked the excat same against Jermain Talyor who gave him another ass woopin. Roy beat him with his eyes closed..He was just never good to begin with and had the worst defence ive seen at top level...

 

No blueprint and a very unique style...
