hopkins called out joe aswellIs Joe getting paid as much as Hopkins? No...Hopkins doesn't have to sell out and he still gets paid more. Which is why Joe is still interested in a 43 year old Hopkins. THE MONEY......he can't get as much money fighting Manfredo or any Espn's Contender in front of 60,000 UK fans as he can get against Hopkins in America in front of 20,000 fans.
Facts......Hopkins has earned more money then Joe. Roy definetely did.
so if joe goes to america he would have to pay the purse and venue etc? that is a lto fo money. atleast in the uk they can generate a purse from 30/40 k people.
joe now has said tis all about the money. thats why he is gonna go for all the big fights.
well how mny non american fighters that arent based there earn big bucks? only the guys from teh us and latino coutries earn big bucks apart from some odd guys.Comment

Jones didn't duck Joe. Joe never persued a fight against him strong enough.
He was supposed to come to America and call him out. He never did.

"It would have been crazy for me to have fought him in Britain before because I was the man at the top of the pile, but now I'll take the gamble of an overseas trip.
"Calzaghe is dangerous and very capable of beating anyone on a given day, it's certainly a bout to excite me.
i cant find everything on the net. somethings are done with lawyers and **** and obviously in closed doors.
but from this statement by jones it tells me that he was offered a fight when he was the top of the pile, aka p4p on top.
your welcome for tahnking me, unfortunately like you, i used google and couldnt find an article, but this is enough for me. it came from the guy himself.
he would have been CRAZY. maybe he knew fighting joem in britian was dangerous from a DANGEROUD opponent. he could BEAT anyone on his day, perhaps even JONES himself.Comment

**** that. if the guy already wanted big bucks and warren wasnt willing to pay that amount, then why should joe go to america? hes a world champion. he dont need to go to america to chase a fight. if he said he wnats to fight and someone says okay 10 million dollars. then **** them. having the belt aroound your waist atleast gives you soem power.Comment

As I've said no proof that Calzaghe has called out Roy. All you have is Roy talkin and telling it like it is WHICH IS THAT HE WOULDN'T FIGHT CALZAGHE IN THE U.K.
As I've said before, Joe never offered to come to America to fight Roy when he was in his prime. Roy didn't have to come to Joe, Joe had to come to him. He never did. He wants fighters to come to him and Roy didn't because Roy was the King back then.

Hatton signed no such deal. The three fight deal never specified opponents - how could it? This is a myth that was, surprisingly enough, started on here a couple of months ago and remains an unsubstantiated piece of garbage which nobody with half a brain would take seriously.Comment

You're right and at that time Roy had a 100 different belts at light-heavyweight. WBC,WBA,IBF, IBO and all other belt you can think off.**** that. if the guy already wanted big bucks and warren wasnt willing to pay that amount, then why should joe go to america? hes a world champion. he dont need to go to america to chase a fight. if he said he wnats to fight and someone says okay 10 million dollars. then **** them. having the belt aroound your waist atleast gives you soem power.

All you have is Roy talkin and telling it like it is WHICH IS THAT HE WOULDN'T FIGHT CALZAGHE IN THE U.K.

mate. i hope you are a lawyer because your very good at ignoring points and systematically thinking through if it was possible that it happened. all you are doing is following up your view that joe has not called him out when he was in his prime.
i aint a ****ing promoter i get my soruces from the net. if i could get everything from the net then i would find your address and go there and shoot you in the head. for real.
