    Did Calzaghe avoid Glen Johnson...

    People always say that Calzaghe would have fought any of the greats: RJJ, B-HOP, Winky, Tarver if they were willing to come to the UK for the fight. Well, Glen Johnson signed on to fight Calzaghe in the UK twice... and twice Calzaghe claimed injuries... I think Calzaghe's career was good... but it could have been much better if he had been willing to take more chances.

      This is why your opinion isn't worth ****, because you base it on nothing at all, just your own bias.

        maybe he was once! but twice? come on homeboy, it aint too many dudes who wanna get in the ring with Road Warrior Glen and Calz just so happens to be one of them! To tell you the truth, NONE of the top LHW's Hopkins, Jones Jr., Tarver and now Dawson doesnt want anything else to do with Glen! Glen's a beast that makes his opponents swim through the deepest waters to get a win, and I wouldn't hold it against Joe if he felt like he wasn't ready to go back where he was when he fought Eubanks, in deep ****in waters!

          We can speculate all we want, you can believe him or not. I believe him.

            Anybody who doubts the simple fact that Joe was indeed injured both times is not fully aware of the extent of Joe's hand injuries. Joe has probably the worst hands in boxing, he has lost many an oppurtunity because of his fragile hands.

                Did I give one singular opinion? I stated facts... What in the world are you talking about?

                  Two quotes:

                  "Did Calzaghe avoid Glen Johnson" AND "Calzaghe claimed injuries"

                  I could go on, like the style your post is written in, but need I really say any more?

                    The first is a question and not an opinion... the second is a fact.
