watch people will claim the best fighters ducked zsolt erdei in 5 years. rewriting history can be fun.
Not to mention Taylor ducking Froch, when there the ones not interested in the first place.
What shitty southpaws with no talent? Calzaghe and Tarver clearly have talent. Are you talking about that one taxi-driver on roys resume who was a southpaw, what was his name. Okay, I'm done... lol
Yeah man, I agree, shutting out and dominating Reggie Johnson like he's never been before or since ain't shitt. Stopping an undefeated Eric Harding and playing around with titleholder Lou Del Valle wasn't nothing either.:haha:
Here is Calzaghe's own words on the subject not HBO's or Frank Warren.....
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-5499540-details/I+am+the+best,+says+honest+Joe+/article.do
Maybe he was joking when he said this?
"I could probably give Jones a tough fight, probably the best fight he's ever had," said Calzaghe. "But I know my capabilities and unless I got paid the crown jewels I wouldn't want to risk it."
He might of offered an insane split when at the time Jones was the draw and deserved the bigger cut.
This quote makes this thread obsolete.
jones ducked calzaghe? back then, jones was undisputed champ at 175, p4p king,and cleaning up a weak division. who was joe calzaghe compared to jones? if calzaghe wanted the fight so much, he should have moved up in weight, became #1 contender at 175. but he chose to defend his title agaisnt ****ing scrubs, much worse than jones reign at light-heavyweight.
joe only broke out when he beat jeff ****ing lacy....then he beat kessler, got a VERY questionable decision over hopkins (which i thought he lost), then fought a near 40 roy jones, who was CLEARLY on the decline as a fighter, who had been dominated and knock the **** out by BOTH glen johnson and antonio tarver years before.
joe is a great fighter but to me isn't an all-time great. he has an impressive record and resume, but let's be real, his best wins are over kessler and an old shot jones jr.. and controversial decision over hopkins. and jeff lacy i guess and a fading eubank?
how is a guy high risk when he hasn't proven he's any good yet. just some loser who fought bums his entire career until the lacy fight.I know you don't like the guy be we have repeatedly shown you that he didn't fight just Bums.
Only in the world of Daggum is Chris Eubank, Robin Reid, Charles Brewer, Byron Mitchell and Jonathon Thaxton are bums, in everyone elses reality and more important yours in every other division against any other fighter these would be good names who held and fought for other world titles multiple times.
I site Glen Johnson who everyone seems to rate but who was less sucsessful than any of the above at the same weight in the same era.
I think not financially viable rather than ducked.
The only people in boxing who use the word ducked are fighters wanting a payday and fans who have never been in the business.
I don't buy RJ duckin Joe C for a second. But it's old news. It sucks, but they fought in 2009 and not 5 or 6 yrs earlier. Joe won, Roy lost. We need to forget about this shit.
Back when Jones was in his prime Calzaghe was a no name fighter, high risk with no reward plus i have seen many of his fights around the early 00's and at times he was far from impressive he was caught by lead rights a fair bit.
plus the fact that Jones was in the weight class above meant the fight was less likely to happen, if Calzaghe really wanted it he should have moved up to light heavyweight and do just what Haye is doing at heavyweight now keep calling Jones out but then also fight some off the top contenders.

Why did hbo do that? Are they telling the truth, or are they lying? I find it quite interesting, I mean if its false. Wouldn't that be wrong to lie about it?
They're lying, obviously. You can't trust anything HBO says, especially about Roy who they've hated and been biased against for years. Don't forget, they also fired him as an announcer.
It says his birthday is the same day as mine. I think Floyd's is the day after mine.
Err, but anyway... who knows. Warren also said Jones didn't want anything to do with ol' slappy back in the day. Nobody knows who speaketh the truth, and unless Jones says something we'll probably never know.
think the crack was calzaghe wanted an equal purse when jones thought he deserved the majority of it. argue what you will. its all the promoters btw wanting to make money don't give the fighters shit, they are the ****in guys who get in the right n risk there lives
I dunno. Maybe Roy Jones can answer that one.

I laughed at the article when they said he is a power puncher. He isnt feather fisted but he is by no means a power puncher. If he is a power puncher kelly pavlik must be a murderer.
oh he's not?
get off calzaghes' nuts for one day. yes calzaghe beat jones(the 40 year old version) but Jones will always be higher on the ATG list. calzaghes' not even on my ATG list
Who cares what you think, you're a stupid **** who has red k and earned it. Why you got to tick my anger-problems off buddy? I tried to be civilized but you're just a ****ing keyboard-warrior.

LOL. At one point in his career Roy was killing southpaws fight after fight. Roy's kryptonite was getting old and losing his reflexes.

and his fans always make excuses when roy loses, as if roy and tyson were meant to be invincible and unbeatable. Roys kryptonite were southpaws.

Hbo claimed that Roy avoided Calzaghe, not me. I don't write the checks, so maybe Hbo knows something I don't.
