    You aren't bringing anything to this thread aside from your tonsils on my nuts. The onus is not on me to give up my sources. If someone says Jones priced himself out then THEY SHOULD PROVE IT.

    FYI, I type how I like. But thank you for pointing out to me that using big case words doesn't prove anything. Why thank you! I guess using small case makes it right!

    I'm done here. Bottom line, no one has proof that Jones priced himself out because it's just not true. Carry on.

      I asked a fellow boxing fan where he had read about something that I found interesting. He said "b-talk". I've never been on that site and he didn't provide an actual link, which, to be honest, is what I was looking for. I found the site and searched but couldn't find the article, but I didn't ask him again because I myself read a lot of articles and would have problems re-locating every specific one. I figured the guy was probably telling the truth and left it at that.

      None of that is at all relevant to this thread nor does it actually prove anything at all, but...yeah, that's what happened.

      Good response, my favourite part was when you skipped over all of my points and just repeated your previous comments that I had already answered.

If Joe's last fight should be at 175 and Roy Jones jr. likely has priced himself out of the Calzaghe sweepstakes I'm speculating that a likely last hurrah for Calzaghe could be a unification showdown with Chad Dawson.

        Who do you think would win this match-up?
        No, Gary Shaw won't make the same mistake twice.

            This happens so much man, I struggle to believe ppl unless I've seen em on the boards a lot, or if it's someone I know pretty well on here as reliable. Other times, no link, and any scent of controversy I don't believe it without a link.

            To avoid the all to common thing of late, of speculating based on unknowns, Firefox 3. Just stick a word in the address bar like Calzaghe, it'll look-up your history and show you the site. So the, I browsed, read it online but can't find it excuse will soon be even less credible, sorry folks, but goods news really.

            These Danish sites saying Calzaghe's really struggling to get back down to 168, and might not be able to. I wana see em, as I either don't believe it, or think they're right at all otherwise these things would be on a bigger, more reputable sites aswell.

              Here's the link: http://Btalk.com/pag/article15744.html

              Feel free to hit me up for a name & password - I'm sure you know what "btalk" is supposed to be.

              As for the rest of your "points" - what point did you have? I've already answered what I need to. Please, you're a joke. I'm not required to give up my sources to some schmuck on a message board who needs validity. If someone here says Jones priced himself out he's either not in the know or making **** up. Which one is it?

                Oh and FYI, the title of that Hopkins interview is "Roy Jones & Joe Calzaghe will never fight."

                Hard to believe you actually went looking for something that's pretty hard to miss.

                  Listen buddy. I can only say that I hope you believe me. If I make anything up I always post it as my own speculation or spin. Whether you believe that or not is up to you. Judge my credibility as you want.

                  I'll give you this: In the threadstarter I should have posted from where I got my info. Then it would be up to the reader to judge the credibility of the source. Knowing that the source were danish news agencies and papers should lead someone to think that Enzo perhaps tried as best he could to make Kessler look good. As for why he said that Calzaghe was having trouble making 168 can mean 3 things:

                  1: Joe IS having trouble making weight
                  2: The danish interpreter has trouble understanding Enzo
                  3: Something else.

                  And the fact that he does have trouble making 168 doesnt mean that he CANNOT. Most fighters have problems with the weight.

                  If you dont believe or dont want to speculate on a particular subject the choice is simple: Dont post.

                    Calzaghe struggled to make weight for many years but this is no longer an issue with him. From his own mouth he stated that he was forced to change his eating habits and other things which have made making weight far easier.

                      I posted that Enzo said Joe was having trouble with the weight. The rest of the opening post is speculation. That should be obvious. The point was to gauge my fellow posters opinions of a matchup between the 2 best LHW's.
