    Joe should have fought in the States years ago. Eric Lucas would just have been another name for Joe, he's beaten better guys than Eric Lucas. Ottke? Calzaghe would more than likely have beaten him. He didn't want to risk getting robbed in Germany though. The WBA title was swapping around fairly regularly. No dominant champion there.

    Same with the WBC. Woodhall? Calzaghe beat him. Reid? Calzaghe beat him, narrowly. Catley? Joe would have beaten him. Lucas? Calzaghe would have beaten him.

    Obviously, Roy Jones v Calzaghe a few years back would have been good, but Jones went up to light heavy and Calzaghe was happy at super middle. Jones would have won imo.

    Glenn Johnson went up to light heavy as well. Joe would probably have beaten him at super middle.

    Beyer was another name out there. Again, Joe would probably have been favoured to beat him.

    Lacy? He was the 'next big thing'. Calzaghe trounced him.

    Kessler v Calzaghe is the best fight out there at 168 lbs. Whether it's made, who knows?

Biggest name in moving up would have been RJJ. Moving down would have been B-Hop, Winky at a catch weight. If Tito was active, even him. But there wasnt much anybody else. He could have probably faced DLH if it was at a catch weight as well, and I think it would have been an entertaining, competitive and close fight.
      U think Calzaghe - DLH would of been competitve???

      Personally i dont see how. DLH is just too small for Calzaghe. I can only invision DLH getting murdered.

      But yes, Calzaghe needed to do somthing like Jones did, by moving up or down just for the odd big fight to happen.

            He follows every post I've made. Any criticism towards a euro fighter makes Miksterious think you hate the guy.

              man theres alot of people he hasnt fought and wont fight, i like Joe his a good guy but his a story book champ following the story book formula, he fights the fights he knows he'll win or wont be tested... throws in a fight with a made-up giant (Lacy) and then goes back to his story book formula........ I mean this guy should and could be goin from catch weight to catch weight or stay right at 168... if he really wanted to challenge himself he would, there are guys like Miranda out there who woulda dropped the Green fight in a minute to fight Calzaghe, yet his goin to fight a guy whose lost 3 fights and just lately rivived himself from the undead but not living greats or potential greats, there guys like Kessler, Green (better fighter the PMJ), you got Jones Jr, **** Dawson and a whole hell of a lot better comp then Manfredo who i dont think will roll over **** may even give a great fight but, Manfredo doesnt do it for me name wise, like a Miranda, Kessler, Pavlik, Duddy i mean there are even guys like G.Johnson, Tarver,Adamek who would make better opponents then Jr Manfrdo and thats who he should fight, **** if we wann atalk about he could of fought, his been the MW champ for sometime and is it me or what but the catchweigth **** has been happening for along time just think you got a guy who has been champ for 10 plus years and a guy who made 20 title defenses and they happen to win there respective belts just 2 years apart if theres 1 person he should have fought thats B_hop

                You should post about them then. So far I've only ever seen you talk about Froch, even when the thread is about other people and Froch has barely been mentioned. I bet everyday you come on the forum and search for mentions of 'Froch' to go and respond to.

                You come into threads where I've been active and post moronic statements. Its difficult not to chide you for your idiocy.

                  And why insult me? I've never once had to stoop as low as to call you idiotic. I guess that just shows how you can't argue well....
