Honestly How Many Of Us Yanks Heard Of Joe Calzaghe B4 Lacy Fight?

Now be honest gentlemen. Truely I never heard of him before the Lacy fight. Never heard his name mentioned with the greats. I might have seen him one time before hand but there was no big deal about him at the time. Thinking back to the 05-06 period It was probably the WW and lower weight classes ruling the BOXING world and MW/LHW meant Taylor / Wright / Hopkins / Tarver. We were still trying to comprehend the 3 losses in a row for Roy. Who was Joe Calzaghe? I will answer the question for myself He was a Euro fighter who beat a hyped up Jeff Lacy. Well you can say that at that time. Well who is Joe Calzaghe since? Let me see he is a damn good Euro fighter who beat Sakio Bika, Peter Manfredo Jr, Mikkel Kessler and Benard Hopkins. People will try to discredit the Hopkins win but this is the same B Hop that destroyed Pavlik a short while ago.Many will agree Kessler is the man now at SMW since joe moved up. Oh wait he is also ranked between 2-4 on the P4P list. Okay for all you limeys out there that say us yanks don't reconize I posted it. I said it. It is known Joe is a damn good fighter trying to prove his greatness outside of the UK. in my eyes he is almost there a dominating win over Roy put him there? Maybe, maybe he needs one more fight against a threat. Many don't see Jones as a threat. In my eyes if he beats Roy convinceingly he is there. On the flip side if he losses to Roy he is still a damn good fighter. Listen for many out there that know abou the Boston Redsox New York Yankee rivalry then they would understand this. You always clown your rivals it makes you feel better. I would never not admit Boston to be a good team i mean come on they won the World Series two times since 2004. They put a killer team on the field every year. That being said same rules apply here with Joe Calzaghe. Joe Calslappy The Slapper- Yes he does often throw slapping punches. You UK memeber stop trying to deny it. I know a slap when I see it. He throws slapping punches. that being said I would never want to get slapped 25-35 times a round for 12 rounds. Let me here others thoughts on this post......
