    It's one thing to say he doesn't have the accomplishments of Jones, Hopkins, but making comments like that is a failure to recognize how good he really is.

      The guy looks like a ***** fighting out of spiderwebs when he throws punches. It gets the job done but he aint nothing special....get over it.

      43 year old Hopkins should school him if he finally comes to America.

        You mean a Roy on steriods. I suspect that was the Roy we all knew as "alien". Don't deny it, for it's already been ADMITTED by Roy that he used roids before a fight in 2000.

        So then it comes down to a clean Roy. Well now, I'm not so sure about Roy's chances all of the sudden. Look what Tarver did to his ass right after the BALCO scandal broke. Roy without roids looked ever so human.

        Nope. A cheat is a cheat. There is no doubt, Joe Calzaghe is the greatest SMW in boxing history.

        Now we'll see if Hopkins will break the current negotiations with silly ass outrageous deal breaking demands. Let's just watch and see him do it. Personally, I think it's 50-50.

        And, if the fight does happen, you can bet Calzaghe will show up to fight, like he has always done. He's gonna put that old man into retirement. You hide and watch....assuming Hopkins takes the fight.

          Kessler was a 39-0, current two belt world champion, oh wait, he was WHITE, sorry.

            Ability.

            A formula 1 car that never wins a race is still leagues above a GT car with multiple championship wins.

              Great analogy. But, Calzaghe is a formula 1 car that has won a few.

                Yes, he is that.................Kessler is top 15 p4p even in the wake of the Calzaghe fight. Curious how one loss automatically qualifies the man as a bum, when he hasn't been annointed by the American media as a superstar. IF he would have been Floyd, for example, they would be screaming rematch, making excuses, etc....

                  That's exactly opposite of the truth I'm afraid. Roy's a cheater. He'll forever be carrying Calzaghe's spit bucket. Get it?

                    What's your point?

                    I noticed that you didn't dispute that all those guys have more accomplishment than Calzaghe.

                    Joe is 36. Floyd is 30. Floyd has accomplished TONS MORE.

                    Why are you even responding to my posts?? You said that Castillo was an "A" fighter against Hatton.
                    joe didnt have much choice at 168 because it would appear they asked for shtilaods of money.

If all of us had the same kind of loyalty, then fighters wouldn't be avoiding each other in fear of losing and falling off the spotlight.
                      Thanks......This guy is good people or completely ****ing with me......either way he's right.
