Roy Jones Responds To Joe Calzaghe's Claims

[S A M U R A I]

He was willing to go to the States and always said it openly. What are you on about? He said the same thing about Hopkins. "I will fight him in his own back garden". That was YEARS ago.

Joe repeatedly called out Roy to come to Cardiff. Read it again very slowly, word for word.....Roy was the best in the world p4p, fought Hopkins, Toney, Hill, Ruiz and you still think he was scared of ****ing JC? You go to the best not the other way around, Hatton was a huge draw in Britain but chased Mayweather down in the U.S coz thats how it works. If JC was serious about a Jones fight he would have gone to the States looking for him.....Have i made that simple enough for you?

Well said.

Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy with some of the **** I read on here.

Did Joe ever chase RJJ as actively as Roy is doing the chasing no? **** no.

Except the fight was to be made in America, so your bull**** excuse doesn't wash. Let's look at the truth here. Joe wasn't a big name I admit, but how many of RJJ's opponents were? Yet Roy fought them anyway and left Calzaghe out in the cold. It couldn't have been a monetary issue, as Roy took fights for less than the offer that was made to fight Joe. I'm not trying to say Roy was scared of Joe, but he most certainly didn't want to fight him. What we also have to remember is that this was back when Joe had the power and speed to expose Roy's fragile beard. I can understand why Roy didn't take the fight, and I am not accusing him of dodging Joe, it was a business decision first and foremost. What I do take exception to, however, is Roy telling only half truths. Roy wouldn't fight Joe because there was a very real chance he could lose (Prime for prime its a 50-50 pickem fight) against an unknown opponent in his own backyard.

I think your post is insane.

Roy was willing to fight Bernard Hopkins and james Toney...and then move up to fight a heavyweight (even a second-tier heavyweight), but somehow he was reluctant to fight Calzaghe?? The truth is that Cal wasn't willing to leave Europe.

I don't even remember Calzaghe being mentioned much... the name that was thrown around much more was Michalezewski (sp?).

And prime4prime, it would NOT have been a 50-50 fight. No way.

Keyser,

That girl is ridiculous. Who is she?

Provide proof, because as far as I'm aware this is bull****.

Joe came here and saw that he really don't want fights with these guys. Pav and Roy would KO Joe. I would have done the same.

[Chunk..]

This argument is as old as day.

Like i said in previous threads on this subject of this fight happening back in the day:

Joe had to be the one to compromise!

Being Frank Warren's prize fighter means that would've made that near impossible.

omg bull**** he openly said he would go to the states to fight roy and he would of got peanuts to due to his bad management and promotor.
Cant win with these yanks they always gna look down on our fighters intil one of them rearly gets smashed.

That works both ways.
