"HBO Should Have Forced Calzaghe-Pavlik," Says Arum

[Boofdatruth]

No, I will give him his do's! But I will give Jones more credit if he wins this fight... I gave Joe is credit for "beating" kessler... I thought he looked like ****. But I gave him credit. I will say I wont praise him as the BEST that ever was, because in fact he didn't beat a PRIME P4P JONES... but I will talk with more respect about JOE if he wins... Because I think Jones is still a creditable fighter and if Joe where to win he deserves credit... but like I said it wont be like I will say he is the greatest of all time or something if that's what your getting at..... on the flip side I wont say ROY would be the greatest of all time for beating JOE because I already think JONES has proved himself and is now just trying to fix a BIG ASS DENT in his career...

Joe and Roy are going to the H.O.F. Pav has a long way to go.

gimme a break with the every one is a bigot bull****! this is a boxing forum, and it's getting old with all ur racist accusations!

Aw man shut up lol...Every time I post, you get off topic and start crying about what I'm posting. Just give us your cheap opinion and shut up. You don't even know what a racist is lol. Don't act like there aren't any bigots here. The 2 guys I called bigots, ARE bigots. Wlad Owns and JAB5239 are bigots who I have on iggy. I hope I make you sick to death of me and you put me on iggy.

And incase you were born yesterday, Lacy was so pumped up for that fight it was sickening. Jeff's overratedness was even more disgusting than JC's is currently.

Yeah, but Joe is going to the H.O.F, and Lacy isn't as of now.

[Boofdatruth]

LMAO. Facts are facts, the only 3 standout fights on JC's resume are Hop, Kessler and Lacy.

What are PAv's lol?

[Boofdatruth]

I never said I don't give him credit but I will not say he is this ring legend who has had an ATG career. He has fought a long time and shown great longevity and probably still has some good tough fights in him. I'm just saying the way he has handpicked his opponents and then to disregard a true threat, one he wanted mind you, is just dissapointing. You give Manfredo a shot, like he deserved one, then say Pav isn't ready yet? THAT is the **** I can't stand about JC. The man is a good boxer with an impressive span, but his notable wins over that span are far and few in between.

You belittled him, and now you try to speak a bit of positivity. He is going to the H.O.F., and you say he only has 3 noteworthy names on his resume lol.

Calzaghe should be in the Wales H.O.F but his current H.O.F status is arguable IMO.

Yeah,...lol riiiiiiiiight! lol

[Rkicards]

Calzaghe should be in the Wales H.O.F but his current H.O.F status is arguable IMO.

No, the Wales hall of fame has fighters like Jimmy Wilde, Jim Driscoll etc. It's an insult to put Calzaghe in the same level.

[MWMerlino]

Yeah,...lol riiiiiiiiight! lol

What is the criteria for entering the H.O.F? Holding onto a paper belt for over a decade, beating mostly stiffs in the U.K and rounding out your career on legimate Hall of Famers who should be retired? He beat a prime Kessler and a prime Lacy right? Stop bringing up Eubanks, that guy was in practically the same position as Hopkins and Jones, his career was at its end when Calzaghe beat him. And Kessler has yet to beat an elite level fighter so to me he remains unproven.
