Calzaghe: I'll destroy Kessler!

[Easy-E]

Calzaghe said just this year "Roy Jones was considered pound-per-pound best when I was coming up, but I'd have smashed him to pieces"

Which is why he never dared to go NEAR Roy Jones.

why would he fight him in copenhagen when he could fight him in MSG, neutral territory.

Because MSG would be empty because both fighters are very much European?

Which is why he never dared to go NEAR Roy Jones.

He called him out for years.

calzaghe must be confident that he can dent kesslers chin, he would have to absolutely decimate kessler to get the decision in denmark

The only reason he's not p4p1 is because hes not black, but I think everyone knows he can beat all the boxers today if weight wasn't an issue

Once again, Roy Jones Jr. has chosen to fight against an opponent that nobody has heard of in Derrick Harman.

Jones has complained at the lack of quality opponents available and said recently, "I will fight anyone and the best fighters this year."

However, one fighter that he refuses to meet is Welshman Joe Calzaghe, the undefeated WBO World Super-Middleweight champion.

Unlike Jones, Calzaghe wants to prove that he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the World, "I see that Jones is fighting another unheard of opponent. The difference between me and him is that I want to fight the best out there and not just 'opponents'. Whereas Jones is content facing mediocre class opponents, I have fought the best and most dangerous fighters out there including Eubank, Sheika and Woodhall, all live fighters. I am offering Jones the opportunity to prove himself and fight me. He's losing respect in his own country, but I am offering Jones the opportunity to get some of that back by facing me. It's up to him."

Promoter Frank Warren said, "It's a great shame that Jones has not taken up Calzaghe's challenge. It's a fight that the World would want to see, the best against the best. Now that Jones has signed with HBO maybe he can ask for a one fight get out clause to make this fantastic fight."

Why are you posting news from 2001?

It'd be good if you quoted the post you were saying that in reply to.

He called him out for years.

Another frank warren scam, caling roy jones to come over to britain knowing he would never do so at the time, Sorry guys, JC can fight, but Jones at that time would have knocked him out.
