Hey....don't get your panties in a wad. I'm not butting in with an opinion here, I just presented some facts that seem to be relevant. I personally am on the fence about this RJJ and Calzaghe fight.1) For the longest while, Jones did not need calzaghe. RJJ was p4p ranked, "undefeated", and had negotiating leverage. Why the fuqq would he "call out" some mildly obscure Euro champion?
2) Funny how the issue is now Jones not calling out JC. When Vince called out Tszyu repeatedly, you said that KT had no obligation to fight him.
3) As the "lesser" fighter, wasn't the burden on JC to make concessions or to pursue a fight? Much like Hatton has done? Or like PBF did vs DLH?
Now, I asked you a direct question. Can you find some evidence of RJJ wanting that fight before 2006? The article I cited was all I could find, but my research was not expansive.Comment

It's fools gold.
Whatever you get will be unacceptable. Yet, he will get quotes from wiki or urban dictionary and treat it like Ring magazine.
He once told me that Dan Rafael/USA Today was not credible. But he gave me a link to urban dictionary to support an argument.
You've been warned.Comment

Well, by 2006 Jones was beaten down. Obviously Kessler is the better fight to take for Calzaghe. What about before 2006? You are insinuating that Calzaghe dodged Jones. Where is the evidence for that? You may be right, I just have not seen the evidence, if there is any.I am almost positive that isn't true. I remember hearing Jones telling Calzaghe he would fight Calzaghe for 40/60 (with Cal getting the bigger share!) and he would go over to wales to fight him! Calzaghe turned it down by saying something of the likes of "he get's knocked down to much".Comment

a) Where were the bulk of the top fighters in/around Calzaghe's weight class - UK or USA?Well, by 2006 Jones was beaten down. Obviously Kessler is the better fight to take for Calzaghe.

b) How many fights did Calzaghe have in the USA?Comment
