why did roy jones an jc never fought in thier primes

Calzaghe never came to the US. Sorry but it isn't the worlds BEST fighters responsibility to come over seas to fight you. If Calzaghe wanted the fight he should've came here for it. End of story really.

 

Exactly :good

 

calzaghe didn't come to america and jones wasn't going to wales to get robbed

 

I agree.

 

calzaghe was a higher risk, low reward fighter.

it was a case of who needs him.

aslo calzaghe had a fight with starrie when starrie fought to survive on american tv and it was a poor spoling spectacle and calzaghe was not telelvised again stateside until he beat sheika.

 

Yes, Roy wasn't going to go to the UK for Joe back in their prime. I think he said it in an interview recently, he didn't need to. He probably would now.

 

That pretty much sums it up.

 

I may have missed something, but if you look at the timeline, Jones was already at LHW when Calzaghe had just begun his reign at SMW. Jones was at LHW, and he was not going to come down and fight at SMW, nor was Calzaghe, at that stage in his career, going to go up to LHW. The fight would never have happened, regardless, even if one had agreed to go abroad.

 

DM,Calzaghe,McClellan,Benn,Jirov,Liles (who is a tall southpaw like Tarver),JC Gomez..... arethe fighters RJJ didn't fight....
He fought McCallum but he was shot....
RJJ was extremely talented but his resume could unfortunately be much better...

 

Were any of those guys willing to come to the states?

 

only d/m was a realistic fight of those named.

 

If Roy knew what he now knows............................do you think he'd have made a fight with Calzaghe back in the day (somewhere from 1998-2004)?

 

:huh

what does he know now?
