Did Joe Calzaghe take on the best supermiddle weights of his era?

ricky hattons win over kostya tyzu deserves alot of credit even tho it was in his city

Who has fought better competition thus far? Calzaghe or Kessler.

What a completely ignorant and ******ed comment.

Not really.

Toney was at cruiser weight by the time JC won his title.

RJJ was at LHW and was done with taking on real fighters by then. He wasn't interested when they did try to make the fight.
Nunn wasn't worth fighting by 97.

The best fight he could have made was Hopkins. It was all agreed then Hopkins curiously priced himself out at the last minute.

by try to make the fight do you mean have Joe call Roy out and then claim an unreasonable amount of the purse as well as having the fight take place in Wales??

The same goes for the Hopkins fight.
Joe never wanted either of those guys.

Have a think about what you're saying. RJJ was all about fighting the best back then, wasn't he?

Hopkins had agreed everything and then suddenly added a few $m to his required purse at the last minute.

Or are you just guessing? It was before your time, afterall.

I'm sure you're not implying that there's any comparison between their resumes. For christ's sake, the biggest name on Kessler's is a rugby player.

And one who got KO'd by the mighty Ottke at that. Impressive stuff.

How do you know it wasn't the other way round? this is the problem with you ****ing americans, you form your own opinions and then state them as if they are facts.

KO'd by Ottke. That's like being outboxed by Butterbean.

I like Hopkins but he never would have had a chance against Joe. Jones on the other hand could have beaten the guy. I don't know **** about the politics of fights not being made, so I ain't in that one.
