Calzaghe's comments are terrible!!!

[Dick-Sucker]

Joe Calzaghe has come out this week and labelled the super fight between winky and hopkins as a no-contest, and billed it as boring. He has also come out and said Mundine is a fake champion.

The thing that has annoyed me is the blatant disrespect to other boxing champions. Im not to worried about what he said about Mundine, but calling Hopkins, old and just trying to make money off the back of his name and calling winky useless after moving up two divisions is a fair joke.

I mean does this guy know that he has fought a couple of decent fighters over the past ten years and on top of that does he know he doesn't fight outside of Britain. If this guy had beaten the best in the division regularily during his time as champ, then i would listen. But he hasn't.

publicity, and probly cuz he is sick of american fighters getting regarded as the best in the world and not the brits. i like joe, and i know he is jus sayin that for publicity, so its all good. he's a decent fighter and he doesnt get the respect he deserves so i see where hes comin from...

I guess that it probably annoys him that Hopkins will take a fight with someone who has had to blow up two divisions over fighting Calzaghe himself. Its just tempting them into fighting him, thats all. Loads of fighters do it. I've no doubt that he respects Hopkins and Wright as being exceptional boxers...thats why he wants to fight them. However, Hopkins IS old, that cant really be denied.

He said Mundine is a fake champ, but he did also say that he was a good fighter.

On a video I saw, Calzaghes camp claims that Roy and Hopkins both dodged Calzaghe like I think it was like 10 or 8 years ago when he was calling both of them out. I forget what it was but I think they said hopkins just dodged Calzaghe and Jones priced himself out. The Jones pricing himself out seems to be the most truthful response because Jones does that to anyone he is afraid to fight like having a rematch with Hopkins would forced jones to ask for an unreasonable amount. But I didn't believe it on the video when Calzaghe's camp said that Hopkins wanted no part of Calzaghe. I find that hard to believe because Hopkins is one of the most honest people ever and he has never dodged anyone. Hopkins is a legend, jones jr is a joke. He had great speed but he never had a god damn chin and only relied on his reflexed and his hand-picked opponents. People can talk alot of **** about Calzaghe's resume, yet Jones only has two people on his resume with known names and thats Hopkins and Toney. And toney looked really out of shape in that fight, and the hopkins fight was close and needed a rematch. Jones Jr is a joke, but Floridians will always side with their beloved boxer. Am I a jones jr hater? Yes, I am the guy never had a chin and only relied on his quick reflexes, theres probably people on this forum who could ko roy. Hell, even know he didn't even look that great on the average joe show, actually one of the average joes managed to buckle jones jr back... Thats sad that a professional boxer can get buckled by a non-professional even if he made them look ****** with his speed his weak flawed chin showed against average-joes!!!

What Brits?? If Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton were to lose tomorrow, most of these Brit "fans" wouldn't be seen around anymore.

Let him talk some ****. It doesn't mean anything.

[Dick-Sucker]

Sure he is trying to generate publicity, that means he is concerned with more money. A lot more money. For that reason i throw out his Mundine comments. As a fight against Mundine in Australia could sell out Telstra stadium which holds 80 000. The money could be more than this super fight.

Thats very doubtful. We are pretty loyal fans.

Let me clue you in if youd like.
Roy, holding 3 major belts at 175 and being linear champion at 168 pounds would have gladly fought Joe if Joe was willing to take a challengers purse and fight in the United States.
the champion doesnt price himself against the challenger, the challenger prices himself out against the champion.
Joe flat out denied leaving the UK and Roy wasnt even going to bother with him.
Nice try though, but next time you make a claim you might want to have all the facts first.

Cal calling out Bhop and Jones , yeah right , to go to merry old england , nothing was stopping him going over and calling out where he would have got the fight and both would have knocked Joe the **** out , especially Roy and 168 , no contest , when you call somebody out you go to wherever they are , you dont sit at home and say come here , you blokes are off in the head with Cal and his bull**** , he fought Manfredo and Bika for **** sake , Kessler was calling him since Lacy , and like a real champ Kessler called him out and is going to his backyard , take your ****ing blinkers of boys .
