He sure did, eking out a split decision in the UK. Want to see a sonning? How about Malinga vs. Robin Reid?

Owned. Yet again.

LOL@sonning = barely eeking out split decisions in your backyard.

What reported "talks?"

The talks which Frank Warren talks about in the Joe Calzaghe documentary: Not your Average Joe. Samurai also posted up some articles from the BBC a while back about it.

Virgil Hill got KOd with a 4th round body shot. James Toney and John Ruiz were vertally shut out. Just like every fighter he fought. Shut out or knocked out. Is Virgil a bum? Is Toney a Bum? Is a 45 pounds heavier John ruiz a bum. Well they all got it just like that.

I aint saying every guy he fought was a bum but a lot of them were. considering the stupid hbo contract he had which almost sent them into bankruptcy as well

I've read many interviews with Frank Warren and never saw any negotiations with Square Ring. Never. Plus, I don't need to read some ****ing articles, I was following the sport back then. No one was even thinking about Calzaghe. And it wasn't because he was some "feared" fighter either.

I'd love to see this stuff. It seems to me the "talks" were always Warren and Joe blithering on like idiots about Roy but not actually you know DOING things.

I was under the impression that "talks" implied more than one party.


If you do find those links post em, I'd like to see.

Yeah, Roy's contract was going to send the largest cable network in the USA into bankruptcy.

A lot of fighters fight some bums..most of the people who think these guys are bums never followed the sport back then.

When did you start watching boxing?
