am i the only one on this forum fed up with joe calzaghe? every time he does an interview he's going to fight tarver, johnson, jones, hopkins even clinton woods. this time it was going to be scott pemberton, which would have been credible, but then he signs to fight brian magee, a man who got exposed against robin reid. i'll say this once, calzaghe is a bitch and i've lost what little respect i had for him in the first place.
He'd own those 2 and I think he'd be too fast and strong for Hopkins who doesn't have the power to hurt him.
I'd go for RJJ too back then, although if anyone had the speed to get to his chin in his prime it would have been JC.
I couldnt agree more.
I dont rate Johnson too high anyway, same with Tarver. I just wanted him to KO them both.
The fight i really want to see is Hopkins, but i still think Calzaghe would win.

That would have been a great fight, i think i'd pick Jones but Calzaghe's just a born winner.
Who has hand speed advantage? Calzaghe's got super fast hand(shame about technique :D )
Nah id go for calzage, but joe like rjj base their style on superior speed and when the years goes they lose there speed (tell if im wrong but isnt that what happened to rjj).
I other words Joe needs to complete his legacy while he still has his speed.
Good question.Only one way too find out.
I do remember him calling out rjj a couple off years ago when rjj was stil superman.
But i never happend.
Oooh what a fight it would have been a couple off years ago.

I'm split on this one, i dont know if the top guys are scared to face him or he's unwilling to face them. :confused:
Its a bullshit situation.

I agree mate. He has fought some good guys over the years but I think it's been a pretty shitty division compared to the early 90's. I'm struggling to think of who else he could have fought except RJJ who would have been significantly better than the opponents that he's faced? I really wish the Johnson fight had of happened even though I don't rate him as highly as a few of the guys that he's beaten.

I totally agree, he`s great but he needs to fight the best.

God damn it Joe, fuck!
I lkove the way Calzaghe fights and I think he has beenthe best super middleweight in the world for the last five years or so but the stupid fuck continues to be 1)inactive and 2)he fights nobodies
HJe did go toe to toe with Charles Brewer a few years back and that was amazing and his fight with Mitchel was a lot of fun too watch while it lasted as well but Im with all of you this guy is a waiste.
Joe if you read this get your fucking head in the sport-fight LAcy, fight PEmberton...fight fight fight.
This guy has all of the talent in the world...crowd pleasing style, big puncher, good chin, very fast hands, yet he is also the biggest waiste in the sport.
I love you Joe but fuck you!

I expect Calzaghe to give Magee a beating, i'd rather him fight Froch.
I'm getting pissed with the Calzaghe situation, he should be pushing for a fight with Tarver/Johnson/Hopkins!!
Has he signed this fight for sure? Didn`t McGee get bounced on and off the canvas by Robin Reid last year? I agree, Calzaghe is all talk. He seems to have avoided a defining fight his whole career. He is so injury prone i feel he is a menace to boxing, he should retire!
