    Joe's a heart fighter in the Rocky/Gatti-mould, always has been.

    He's got a big heart.

      Why should Hopkins or Taylor fight Calzaghe? What does he have to offer?

              Yes he could have, but he didn't unfortunately (through no fault of his own).

                Calzaghe is a truely a great champ. He has a title that hes had for almost 10 years and hes claiming to be the best super middleweight in the world. What do you mean what does he have? How can any super middleweight talk about how great they are in the future without being asked "how comes calzaghe kept his title for over 10 years and nobody ever took it off him?".

                Calzaghe owns that ****ing belt. Literally. Jermain Taylor, Winky Wright and Bernard Hopkins dont wanna try for that belt, they're not ******. All we have is a bashed up Roy or some small names willing to challenge for it.

                  Yes jc owns that title...So what? His manager owns the WBO. An organization that americans don't really think much of. Also an organization in which Frank Warren somehow has been able to handpick mandatories for years. Joe wanted a big US fight. He then decided to give up the title the americans respect (IBF) because a mandatory that Frank Warren couldn't control came up. That is either extremely ****** planning and promoting or simply a lack of boxing heart.

                    Even if he were a "slapper", I'd respect him even more for being able to knock 31 guys out with slaps...
