why did roy jones an jc never fought in thier primes

Judging by the comments on this thread, most of the posters think that the responsibility for making the fight happen lies with Pavlik and, if he wants it, he should get up to SMW, get himself over to the UK and make it happen. You agree?

 

This is entirely true.

Look at it objectively.

Calzaghe: Undisputed SMW champion, Current Ring LHW champion, P4P top 3, and just beat Bernard Hopkins and Mikkel Kessler who was also a unified champion at SMW.

Pavlik: Undisputed MW champion (my opinion), beat Jermain Taylor twice

Calzaghe is a bigger draw right now and is coming off a big win. He holds all the cards and Pavlik would be fighting for Calzaghe's titles. He should go wherever Calzaghe wants if he wants to fight him.

 

Calzaghe's undefeated record means too much to him

 

We all saw the real reason Calzaghe never fought prime Jones in round 1 of the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight :yep

Funny how Jones fought a 'live' version of Hopkins and came out unscathed and he's the one with the 'china chin' :huh

Prime Jones would have KO'd this clumsy, unskilled fool inside of 6 rounds - and that's being generous to Calzaghe. The fact that people still give Jones a chance when he's nowhere near the fighter he once was just about says it all, really.

 

Calzaghe was irrelevant when Jones was in his prime.

 

Thank you calzaghe haters one and all for displaying the usual bull****...
:blabla

 

When was Roy Jones in his prime? Late '90s and beginning of the years 2000?

At that time Calzaghe was some dude fighting guys like Will McIntyre, Tocker Pudwill, Mario Veit and Omar Sheika.

Hardly enough to register on Roy Jones's radar.

 

From RJJ standpoint, what would have been the point in fighting against JC in their primes?

 

The mere fact that calzaghe was so content on holding on to his WBO belt and didn't unify with ottke shows that he has no plans on doing so with jones. You could say that ottke was a fraud and a master of robberies, but he holds the WBA and IBF belts at that time, and both are europeans. If brewer(from the US) could fight ottke in germany, why can't calzaghe?

If calzaghe is the best, and if he is so great, why worry about getting robbed..I give props for brewer who i think is even better than lacy fighting ottke twice in germany

 

Do you want to go watch the Sven Ottke - Robin Reid fight?

Even the greatest fighter might struggle if they were in a fight where the referee is threatening to take off points for hitting their opponent in the face atsch

 

What a horrific list that is.

 

worst list I ever read!

 

If tarver could ge the fight with jones, calzaghe could have.

 

No1 beats JC comfortably. Not in boxing history. not even prime RJJ.

Most awkward fighter possibly ever

 

Define comfortably.
