    Yeah, cos Kessler is a bigger name and a bigger legacy fight than jones.

      My Dearest Eric,

      The purpose of this letter is to inform you that over the past decade or so, most of the top guys from 160 to 175 found a way to fight each other. Jones, Toney, Hopkins, Griffin, Tarver, Johnson, Winky, Taylor, Hill, etc.

      Somehow, Calzaghe remained excluded from all that competition. I would think that Calzaghe would strive mightily to make a fight happen with any of those guys. He hasn't.

      Kindest Regards,

      Dios Dominicano

        as of right now he is. right now most people would not give calzaghe credit for beating jones but him beating a young undefeated champion in kessler would be very good for calaghe.

        if calazghe were to beat jones people would just say that roy was old and washed up

            how does that prove that calzaghe avoided them?

            most of calzaghe fights did not go thru because most fighters did not want to go to whales to fight him

              True, but Calzaghe never intended to get in the ring with Jones, ever,imo

              Especially in his prime, ****in el man, if byron Mitchell and that other bum can knock calzaghe down, he dont wanna be getting the ring with roy jones, he calls out the number one p4p fighter in the world to come to some ****ty arena in his backyard when he knew Jones vowed never to leave leave america after the olympic screwjob.

              Then after claiming he wanted the fight, he turns down a fight with jones at home to fight Kessler, and if you know kessler, you know kessler aint beat no one worth mentioning.

              So to answer your question, here is the name of a fighter he avioded,

              Roy Jones Jr.

                  just like bernard ducked roy after bein dominated in the fight.

                  kessler is a bigger fight for calzaghe right now than jones is, just like hatton has not done **** but floyd chooses to fight him because right now he is a big payday and he has a lot of people thinking he's better than he really is

                    That is exactly my point!! Why do they have to go to Wales?

                    Hopkins, Jones, Winky , Tarver, etc are all PPV fighters here in the states. Why would they go to Wales to fight at 2am when there are big money fights HERE. If Calzaghe wanted to prove he was the best, you go to where the best are. That's not a pro-American view. it's just logic.

                    Calzaghe is a good fighter. But history will not be kind to him. And it's all his fault.
