Calzaghe: "I Want Taylor Because I Love Beating the Top Americans"

[Guest]

Lacy is/was the only top American in his division.

That's not saying much. Super middle has been dominated by Euros for a while...

[deuce_drop]

he wants taylor because he knows taylor is still green and calzaghe knows style wise and experience wise he can beat taylor convincingly.

anyone who he questions whether he can or can't beat he doesn't make the fights with them.................

[Easy-E]

Here is a quote from his ESPN interview:

"I've still got a lot of things to do in my career and over the next few years you will see the best of me to achieve them. I want Jermain Taylor because I love taking on and beating the top Americans. They bring the best out in me. Just ask Jeff Lacy. Mikkel Kessler is in my sights because he's claiming to be the best in the division and I will happily relieve him from his two titles. Plus a burning ambition is to become a two-weight world champion and I want Bernard Hopkins at light heavyweight."

I hope it's not just talk and Calzaghe steps up...

ya joe loves beating top americans like... Peter Manfredo!

He got paid 2 mil to fight a bum. Wouldn't you? I'd fight a bum for that much!!! Who gives a **** about the fans when you can put money in your pockets fighting bums!!!

Thats all well and good but when you say you want to beat the best and are the best in the world and fight bums for 2 mil you make yourself look ******.
and how can you ok Joe C for fighting Manfredo who never held a title in his life for 2 mil and hate on Floyd for fighting Baldomir who was the undisputed champion for 8 mil...?

I don't hate floyd on who he beat, I hate floyd on his boring fighting style... Joe may have fought bums but he is an exciting fighter to watch who constantly throws.

ok thats fair enough.
i understand his style isnt exactly pleasing to everyone who watches him but imo you gotta have an appreciation for his boxing skills.
