If only Calzaghe had the heart to do what Abraham did..

If Calzaghe had the balls to travel outside of Wales and fight legit fighters (in his weight class (Jones Jr., Glen Johnson) or outside his weight class instead of a steady line of chumps, he could have been an all time great and we would have seen some great fights... what a shame.

Joe understands his MANY limitations..too bad his nuthuggers don't.

If he had the talent to beat the top dogs in their prime he would have.

There is a reason he hid so long in Whales behind the weakest title(WBO) in the weakest division in boxing.

It's no accident that when he finally found the balls to fight in Vegas it was against the 43 y/o ghost of Hopkins.

Which was ranked Top 5 P4P prior to Calzaghe spanking the **** out of him.

Calzaghe has fought outside of Wales more than he fought inside Wales. He's fought in more countries than most American fighters in the last 20 years. Of course, if someone had offered him more money than he would earned in the UK he would have fought in the US. I can't recall one single American who has called him out until very recently.

Not true, if were not counting the UK he's fought three times out of Wales. He fought in Germany, Denmark and The USA. He has fought alot of American's though.

Spanked the **** out of??

Boy if that's what you call a spanking then you really are weak..lol.

#5 p4p???

Thats just an opinion..

Even so..Why didn't Joe fight Hopkins when he was UNDESPUTED at 160???

It's funny Joe didn't have the balls to fight Hopks in Vegas THEN.

Surely Hopkins wasn't going to take all THREE of his titles to Wales for a lousy WBO crap-strap...so it was on Slappy to make the trip.

Joe is a *****...a slapping ***** at that...face it.

He's fought in Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Denmark and the US. Most of his fights have been outside his country. That's hardly staying in his backyard.

He fought who mattered in his division. Only two names can be discussed around his division - Jones and Hopkins. Jones was never a realistic proposition for all the right reasons whereas Hopkins ducked Calzaghe in 2003 or whenever it was before losing in 2008.

He agreed terms for it to happen. So did Hopkins, Warren and Showtime.

Hopkins reneged on the deal the next day.

That's not my recollection of events - that's Jay Larkin's quote.

Germany and Denmark are not very far away from Wales..that's not a helluva trip..It's like going from LA to Vegas.


I remember when Joe was supposed to fight the WINNER of Brewer/Echols...but instead..Joe fought THE LOSER..lol

NOBODY else could get away with a ***** move like that.
