Calzaghe's Done A Complete U-turn.

[bsrizpac]

you cant blame him really.
this should be a massive payday. even more so with neither of them having a promoter to take huge cut.
if i was Joe with an undefeated record, in the top 2 pound for pound and hall of fame guaranteed i would take an easier fight as your last fight (which i am sure Joe thinks Jones is). Especially when its gonna make you twice the cash a pavlik fight would.
He has nothing to prove to anyone.

PERSONALLY tho i would rather see him fight pavlik. and i got a gut feeling that Roy is gonna roll back the years and knock Joe the **** out.

no one should blame the guy for wanting to get paid. EXCEPT:

Joe will use this to talk himself up as a legend killer, just like he did with Hops. It will be bull**** yet again.

His FANS will talk up the win and the name and declare Joe the GOAT and greater than Roy and everyone else who ever existed. Oh wait, they already are. In fact there is a huge campaign on here to build up Roy as some great opponent right now. LOL.

I'm fine with it if everyone could stop trolling, Joe could man up, and everyone could admit this is a money fight.

When Calzaghe beats Jones someone needs bump this thread to prove Jones in Joe's eyes is nothing more than a shadow of his former self.This win is meaningless and that is coming from Joe himself.

That was then, this is now. Get over it.

Since he is now slated to fight Roy Jones Jnr on 20th September, look what little piece I managed to dig out of his Autobiography, published only last year.

"Although Jones Jnr is still active, I would never want to fight him now. He's not the same fighter and I'd have nothing to gain by beating a shadow of what he once was. Jones was a great fighter in his day and a great name, but he's been knocked out twice, knocked out cold. What would I have to gain by knocking him out for a third time?"


I thought I remembered reading it, and managed to find it again.

wow... after reading this calzaghe is a complete *****

[Blayde]

Yeah, I remember that, too. He kept saying hed prefer to fight the Taylor-Pavlik winner because that would be a much bigger challenge.

But ... Im pretty sure Enzo has admitted lately that Pavlik would be the tougher fight, they just still want Jones.

[SHB]

There'll always be another fight. Therell always be another rising star to fight. You've got to draw a line somewhere.

[sparked_85]

It's a pension fight.

so what.
