Who is the biggest Joe Calzaghe fan here?

[KESSLER]

_Ricky_

Nuff said.

[Chunk..]

To what ship?

He would have been ****ed.

He was never as popular as either of those two.

His career would have turned out exactly the same at best.

Everyone would have wanted a piece of Joe if he was available.

Why? Prime 90s Joe was a hard punching southpaw with the most awkward style imaginable. He was undefeated and in his first step up to world level had knocked the elite Eubank down and outfought him in an absolute war. Joe also had zero profile, so the risk was huge and the reward was zero.

Prime Calzaghe was the definition of the kind of fighter big names like to avoid.

You miss read the post. if Joe was available, every promoter out there would want a piece of him.

That's what i was getting across.

Ricky, hands down.

[THE REED]

i mean i wont really say joe is a bum... i think people overrate his capabilities a bit... but he is undefeated in 45 fights... theres something to be said for that....

But anybody that thinks Joe could beat Roy in his prime... is... well...... just no.

:roy::roy:

But the great man himself didn't think it would be a cakewalk, he defended his decision not to fight Joe in Europe on a risk / reward basis. He thought he would beat Joe, but with too many rounds open to 'a hometown interpretation'; To me that's a back handed compliment 'I'd beat you but not well enough to risk a hometowner'
