Brit Fighter Joe Calzaghe called out the winner of the Antonio Tarver/ Glen Johnson fight. Claims he is the real deal and that he is going to prove it against either of the men that beat Roy Jones. Haven't heard much about this dude, but sports a good record 38-0 30 KO. Seems pretty ballsy, called Jones a punk and everything. I'll have to do some checking and see what this dude can bring to the table.

Calzaghe isn't fit to hold jones' jockstrap. Calling someone out and then actually fighting them are two completely different things. Calzaghe might take the fight against either johnson or tarver, but he never once looked like going over to the states looking for a prime jones...the real boxing fans know that he's all talk and no action, just like alot of other fighters these days...why can't more fighters be like tito and tszyu?

the punk should fight Jeff Lacy

yea, i kind of agree. I think it's too early for him to step up to the light heavyweight division AND call out the undisputed champ. He probably wants either a quick fix to get the title or is jsut talking crap. But he is a good, solid fighter. But he would be the big underdog in coming up to face say Tarver, if he beats Johnson.

He's nowhere near the class of a prime Jones, but not many are. I doubt he was serious calling out Jones.

He is comfortably the best supermiddle on the planet though and would hand Lacy's ass to him.

He's been struggling to make the weight for a couple years according to the reports so shouldn't have a problem stepping up and I'd give him the edge against Tarver because of his speed.

Fight Someone Notable And Then Talk Some **** But Til Then Shut Ya Mouth.

Eubank,Reid,Woodhall,Brewer and Mitchell. All world champs at some point.

I'd like to see Calzaghe/Tarver, 'cause its time for Calzaghe to be humbled. If Tarver shows-up interested and doesn't lay back, Calzaghe will have some real trouble, quick.

Wish Hopkins would move to Calzaghe first though.

That SOB was suppose to fight Glen Johnson for the Lt.Heavyweight Champship in the States earlier this year but had to back out because of either Back problems or personal issues(BLAH).I personally think he got scared and backed out because he fought at 168 in his last fight when he was supposed to already been moving up to 175lbs.He wound up getting floored and almost losing to that Egyptian guy.He's a joke

I'm sure he was scared ****less of Glen Johnson :rolleyes:

Calzaghe has been avoided his whole career, no one wants business with him. Hopkins said he`d fight him a few years and was set to get a mega payday as Joe was prepared to take peanuts just to get the fight, Hopkins pulled out.
I can`t see any supermiddle giving Calzaghe much probablems. Though its true he has fought only a handful of good fighters, its the way he`s haddled them. Apart from his fight with Robin Reid, Calzaghe has dominanted every opponent he has ever faced. He got floored by the Egytiain because he was grossly weight drained and shouldn`t be losing as much weight as he does to make 168 ( his walking weight is near 190!).
Joe should vacant his title and try to force a mandatory match at light heavyweight. He would abuse glen Johnson and though i believe it would be a close competitive match, i can`t see Tarver beating the Welshman, he` too quick and he does fight extremely hard.

almost losing is not quite correct he got caught by a peach of a right hand but won just about every other round get your facts straight before making sweeping statements please. A great right hand that most supermiddles woudnt have got upo form i hasten to add. No problems with joe's chin i assure you.

He did blow his chance at johnson before but this was due to a messy break up of his marriage, at one point he was arrested I believe, certianly the police were called.
So as you can see he probably wasnt in the best mental shape to go into the biggest fight of his career. Now these in an ideal world arent acceptable excuses but Joe obviously had **** to deal with which he did and now at 32 he needs these career defining fights.

He is supremely talented and has been the best supermiddle for some 5-6 years at least, he would know far too much for lacy at this stage of his career. Its time he moved up though to light heavy and its high time he fought one of the guys he is constantly calling out.

He calls them out but they refuse to fight him. He doesn`t fear anyone but Calzaghe may have earned himself the big fight by being floored in his last fight by a crap opponent. I hope someone gives him the chance one day soon!

Calzaghe has a lot of gall "calling" anyone out given the feast of cupcakes he has feasted on in his career. As far as I can tell, his biggest wins were Mitchell and Brewer....neither which would last 3 rounds with Tarver, Johnson, or especially Jones before he grew old.

Yeah, what else is new?

I have serious doubts over the possibility of Calzaghe v Tarver/Johnson. But if it did, IMO Joe beats them both.

Joe beats Johnson, but would lose to Tarver.

Antonio Tarver would destroy Joe Calzaghe.

Please explain how Callzaghe gets anything done with Tarver ?

Tell me one foe he's fought who prepares him to face tarver & be successful...?

This is getting boring!!

A fighter with a better record than any other fighter at super middle, who's undefeated and he's without doubt the divisions number 1!! He's been number 1 for years!! Where's the problem??

I LMFAO when you guys mention Lacy!! Lacy would be Calzaghe's defining fight :confused: !! he's 17-0 kid who hasnt beaten a decent fighter yet! yes Vanderpool is ****!! If Lacy wasnt American you would all be saying he's a untested fighter who's beaten nobodys and he should fight outside his own country!!

Love or hate Calzaghe, he's been the top dog at super middle for a long time, long enough to get him a fight with the Tarver vs Johnson winner, because lets be honest nobody cared about these two guys until they beat a weight trained shot fighter!! A prime Jones would have beaten them both silly at the same time!!

pfft... lacy puts calzaghes ass down

pfft... lacy puts calzaghes ass down

You've convinced me... :p

calzaghe better stay in england and fight those bums..because he wants no parts of tarver

What a load of crap. Lacy isn`t in Calzaghes league. Face it, no one wants to fight Calzaghe because he`s just too much of a risk.

this guy's been talking for awhile. too bad that's all he does. he'll fight those guys for a huge payday, a venue in his hometown, the ref of his choice, and some UK judges. And of course if Tarver said okay, he'd find a money reason to back out.

You are totally correct, he wanted no part of RJJ in his prime, but he walked around for photo opps in a t-shirt that called out RJJ. Funny, that was the ONLY thing involving Roy Jones that he would get into - because it certainly wasn't going to be a RING!
:eek:

He's the champ at 168, that's not a situation where there's no reward for fightiing him. I think that he wants to stay away from good 175 lbers and find a quick way to fight the champ.

yea, in all probability. He might take the fight, but he would lose rather bad I think.

Don't talk about risks with Calzaghe, why didn't he go over to the states to fight jones? He was pissing himself that's why...hell Green, Kessler or Mundine would kill him. Why doesn't he fight any of these guys? They are better fights than moving up to light-heavy.

Calzaghe hasn't taken a risk in his entire life!!

I agree. I like Calzaghe but he should've been fighting these guys instead of those...;) well, Mitchell was OK.

thats real talk

thats real talk


You actually took the time to post that same thing in a bunch of threads ?

get a girlfriend....a hobby....something.

:D :D
i noticed this and did think what is this guys point?

I'm sure he was scared ****less of Glen Johnson :rolleyes:
calzage would never move to light heavyweight if is wasnt for lacy.. and you know whats good lacy said he will follow joe right up there to get to him..

lacy is just a kid. when he gets a bit more credibility they may fight. calzaghe would take both jhonson and tarver in my opinion. although they are both good fighters no one said **** about either before they beat a washed up jones. now people talkin about p4p. calzaghe would ko both of them in the later rounds. if they ever fought id bet all my points.

calzage would never move to light heavyweight if is wasnt for lacy.. and you know whats good lacy said he will follow joe right up there to get to him..

Calzaghe's been talking about moving to light heavy since before Lacy was on the scene as one of the top guys so I don't think that's true. We'll see if what Lacy says and what he really wants are the same thing. There's not much that he brings to the table that Calzaghe couldn't handle at this point and I think he'd get a bit of a boxing lesson and probably stopped late if they were to fight any time soon. 2 or 3 years down the line when Calzaghe's slowed a bit and Lacy's got more experience it could be a different story though.

Calzaghe was too big for super middle while Lacy was still in the ams, Calzaghe has been talking about this for a very long time.

Calzaghe's no *****, i dont really like his style but he's not the type of fighter to back down because he's 100% confident he is the best.

naw he saw lacy turn pro and then started talkin bout it he saw the future.. he aint even that big.. he aint it tremendous shape at super middle..he in good shape but not great.. once he saw lacy after the olypics the talk began he is a coward.. he call out everybody and fights nobody

and nobody should ever fight him in whales

Sorry, I didn't know that. I take it all back. :rolleyes:

Wales ;). I dont think thats fair comment, if people want a shot at the number 1 it should be on his terms.

Trust me, Calzaghe doesnt look that big but he's a heavy guy. He struggles to make weight every fight, he will struggle to make weight at light heavy because he will pack on extra muscle, i think he will finish his career at cruiser.

fair play thats a total load of crap you've just written - laughable!

Lacy ain't even in the same league as Calzaghe yet, give him a couple of years and maybe yes but certainly not now. There's really nothing out there at 168 thats gonna trouble Joe, Lacy and Kessler are probably the best but they haven't really done much. I admit he does need to fight in america and definetly at 175, he looked bad in his last fight and he struggled badly to make the weight. He had his chance against Johnson in June but he pulled out due to personal issues, probably won't get another one the way things are going!

and nobody should ever fight him in whales

nothing wrong with Wales! :)

as said above simply laughable.

if any of you guys had seen him fight, you would rate him as a good fighter. Please stop going on a bout Jeff Lacy because he hasn't fought anyone. You sound like idiots who know nothing about boxing!

Joe calzaghe would have beaten Glen Johnson if they had fought and just because he dropped out because of personal reasons doesn't mean he was scared. how many fights has tyson dropped out of because of personal reasons, was he ever scared???

The fact is that the fight was re-scheduled and johnson simply chose to fight Roy Jones instead for more money.Joe won 3 consecutive british aba's, in three different weights (our national amatuer championship) and has not lost as a pro so show him the respect he deserves! and if you don't know anything about a fighter then don't make judgements!

tito sucks

Calzaghe has absolutely no credibility. If you're afraid to travel into America to fight (mind you, we are the boxing capital of the world), then you're nothing but a protected fighter.
