Roys SHOT lets just retire champ and let us remember what a great champion he was rather than thinkin he has a chance at returning to the top, hes just beat a light middleweight and ppl are gettin on the bandwagon once again i tell you this now if roy gets in the ring with calzaghe he will get destroyed for 12 rounds
If only the Taylor vs Pavlik fight was stopped in the 2nd round. We would be having Taylor vs Calzaghe and Taylor would probably be the favourite. Both of them would of been undefeated. Their both strong men with fast hands, would of been a good un'.
:ugh1: :ugh1: lol i really don't believe if taylor beat pavlik he would be facing Calzaghe as Favourite i think he would still be the underdog, calzaghe would school taylor for 12 rounds and leave him running back to middleweight
i would have to say hopkins only because off his record vs southpaws the way hopkins can change styles and rele piss off his opponent,but calzaghe ant no ordinary southpaw his is far to active for 4 punches a round hopkins so i would say jones nor hopkins can beat calzaghe but hopkins has the best chance
Hey, I badly wanted Trinidad to win, but I knew it was a very difficult task. Jones is a solid, natural 168-175 pounder while Trinidad's best weight was 154. That's a solid 15 to 20 pound advantage plus Jones was always faster and stronger. Still, Trinidad managed to win, at least, 4 rounds against a boxer who, shot or not, had better natural talent than him. Just like I admit Jones was always a superior boxer than Trinidad, some here should stop the nonsense that Jones did not want to stop Trinidad out of mercy. That's total bullshit. When Jones knocked Trinidad down, he went for the finish, but could not get it. Jones just played it safe and was content with a points decision. Both fighters showed good stuff and I think Trinidad would have gotten a win tonight had the opponent being other than Jones. Trinidad would have probably dominated De La Hoya, who should have been his return bout. Trinidad should be proud that he made one of his dreams true by stepping into the ring with Roy, in a fight that many thought would never come to fruition.
Totally agree HYPE JONES again "the return" jones a former HEAVYWEIGHT beats lil tito natural light middleweight is says it all
Theirs loads off Career Ending Or Shortening Fights in the past off boxing history some ppl ant tlkd about are:
Tyson v Spinks
I was a big fan off Spinks one off the greatest light-heavyweights off all time beat the likes off Marvin Johnson ,Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and Larry Holmes with a record off 30-0-21ko going into the tyson fight.
in 1988, Superfight 88, Tyson Vs. Spinks, came. Tyson inflicted the first and only defeat on Spinks' record by knocking Spinks out in the first round. every1 knew Spinks was a true light-heavy and Spinks was under the MYTH tyson was "unbeatable".
After that fight, Spinks retired and never came back to boxing as a boxer.
i wonder what would had happend to Spinks if he went back down to lightheavy after the Gerry gooney fight?
Easy TYSON by a AWESOME KNOCKOUT in the first round Clubber Lang like all the guys ROCKEY faced had the worse DEFENCES ive ever seen 2 tell u the truth they had no defence at all so its a easy win for tyson,
If Calzaghe had balls would he have had trouble making 168?
I don't think ppl understand tht Pavlik is a average fighter with great power, calzaghes too fast too big too smart, calzaghe would take pavlik apart 4 12 rounds with no trouble
for his son that is. After tonight's massacre, it would be cruel to put his baby boy in there with Pavlik.
I hope your not Serious?
Calzaghe would school pavlik for 12 rounds
too Fast, too big, too cleaver
Pavlik will PWN Calzaghe. Didn't you see him beat ur boy last nite?
Enzo no's dat garry locket was beta than joe, and dat joe wil looose.
Freakin' Brit!
Ur a Fuckin DOPE!!!!
HAHA people are actually saying paulie is gonna beat hatton at 140 i really don't think so, hatton got beat by the greatest fighter off are era now Paulies knocking Hatton out lol some people have to watch more hatton fights before bringing a great boxer down
I believe Calzaghe beat alot off poor boxers over his career but lets not forget theirs still some really good names on calzaghes list
-Kessler
-Lacy
-Mario Veit
-Mitchell
-Brewer
-woodhall (ok well past his prime)
-Reid
-eubank
And people who believe calzaghe should not enter the HALL OFF FAME are fools he is the most dominate supermiddleweight off all times and future super middleweights years from now will be judged by Calzaghes career luv it or hate it
am not talking about who has the best names on their list if it was like tht WINKY would be P4P number1 am talking about now and i rate calzaghe P4P number 3 because i dont see anyone in the supermiddleweight light heavy ,middleweight divs beating him hopkins would have but at 43 i dont think so, taylors got no chance, winkys to small, Pavliks got the power but could he last with calzaghes speed? maybe.
i was thinking you had some intelligence KSWIZZY99 then you say these words
"Eubank who?"
"Eubank isn't that great"
you're knowledge off boxing must be terrible to come out with tht statement
Calzaghes just taken out Kessler, theirs no middleweight,supermiddleweight,light heavy on the planet who would have beat kessler, hopkins would have been on his ass from some off thos kessler shots
I like pavlik but calzaghes in a whole different league, the boys too quick and he wont stop throwing punchs till Pavliks on his ass or the end off round 12, theirs no middleweight,supermiddleweight,light heavyweight on the planet at the moment who would beat Calzaghe , and to comment on the guy who said dawson has a chance off beating calzaghe tht boy would get schoold all nite another lacy beating
I think this post has alot to do with ppls locations in the world the guy with the disrespect for hatton & calzaghe is a total fool i bet if hatton and calzaghe where american calzaghe would be the pound4pound number1 in the world by now and hatton would be top 5 easy but just because america ant controlin fuck all theirs all the haters out their i dont care where boxers are from just enjoy their skills and shut da FUK UP,
lets not go over the top this fights gonna last 12 rounds this is mayweathers hardest fight off his life and i would not be surprised if hatton beats him if floyd brings his ego into the ring
theirs better fights out their visual wise but this fight needs to be made its been in the pipe line for years when hopkins was middleweight champ i believe its 4 or 5 years 2 late for hopkins now due to calzaghe enegry i know hopkins luvs to tell us about his great fitness for his age and give me due his fitness is awesome but it does not change is age. calzaghe over 12 rounds by points, i would love a calzaghe vs Pavlik tht would be a exciting fight
Ok i think everyone is going a bit over the top just cause hatton got beat he got beat by the p4p best at his best now u ppl are UnderRating a great boxer in hatton, Hattons a Animal in the ring Paulie would get fukd up
Joe Calzaghe-42-0- Longest reigning world champion, over a decade as world champion 19 title defences, number 1 (roy jones or Joe) or 2nd greatest supermiddleweight off all times.
Pointless tread i see Tyson had Spinks number simple as and i think spinks would ave been more scared off tyson after Prison even then Spinks was a true Cruiser Weight and should ave stayed their where he would ave been unbeatable
