Joe Calzaghe Will Return To 168 After Roy Jones Jr.

[edgarg]

The credulity of some posters is wonderful to behold. The call on the Creator to curse and punish Calzaghe, or, in different circumstaces, another inoffensive fighter, whose only crime has been that he won't do what they want him to.

I was very surprised when I'd read that Calzaghe had given up the WBO Title, thinking that he had no reason to, and that his longevity with this title was a large part of his real claim to fame. This should teach everyone that one should WAIT until the dust of connjecture and speculation, rumour and lies has settled, so that the REAL facts can become clear.

It looks as if Joe will have his multi-year title even if he loses to Jones, and, by defending successfully against a few more 168 pounders, or 160 pounders moving up, he'll have made a NEW undefeated record for a weight class. I HOPE HE DOES, and then we can shovel the infamous 49-0 into the dung pile where it should have been all the time.

At the same time, I wonder wht we never hear anything about Ricardo Lopez' 50-0-1 record. Could it be that it's because he's not an American, or perhaps that the "draw" (which was really a win) is regarded as having interfered with his unbeaten record.
NO- that couldn't be it, because with a draw, a fighter is still unbeaten.....so I wonder what it can be?????????

Maybe someone out there has the answer, I'd like to know.

Yeah and Roy is really going up to heavyweight again and fight Sam Peter.

All this is for is to keep their names out there and to hype this fight.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

I'll make this short and sweet.

Joe is keeping his WBO title looming "in case" he looses to Roy Jones. They are fighting @ 175 and he will still be recognized as the SMW champ if he claims that he will defend the title. If he loses to Roy, he can just go set the record for SMW+title defenses and get his career and legacy back on track. Anyone disagree? Fail-safe move for Joe. It's pretty smart acually.

Bloody hell, Calzaghe likes to change his mind. Good luck to him anyway I can't wait for Pavlik-Calzaghe (if he beats Roy)

Not really. I judge people by what they do, not by what they say. I think Mayweather is a prick, but it doesn't change that I see him as the most talented boxer on the planet.

If Calzaghe fights Pavlik then I'll have no problem defending him, win or lose. If he doesn't, then I'll criticise him.

It's not like he's the first boxer to be unsure about about whether or not retirement is the right thing to do. Or are we all gonna doubt the greatness of Sugar Ray Leonardl?

Edit: Note to all idiots, don't try and say that I'm saying JC is as good as Leonard was. You know the point I'm trying to make.

[WESS]

haha

This is what I've been saying the entire time. A lot of money is presenting it self to Joe. I KEEP repeating myself to some idiots that don't seem to get it through there head. He is doing the SAME thing every fighter does. Some people just don't listen and underestimate what I say about there hometown hero, or they just argue for Calzaghe's sake while trying to make his decisions and actions seem reasonable or better suit there arguments. What ever... no news to me

Good post. Also, you can't hang on to a fighters words either. Things happen in boxing. He might fight Roy, look good or bad, and decide to retire.

Yeah, I know. Go for the money right Pav...lol Pav fans? You tell that tall headed, lisp talking walking overration that Abraham said don't forget about him.

[Boofdatruth]

If he beats Roy and takes on Pavlik Abraham or taylor I will give him credit as it is due to him.

Credit? lol Cal is going to the H.O.F regardless if he fights Pav or not. PAv fighting a WW and then an older LH champ who says he will come back to SMW is sneaky by Pav and Arum. If Pav doesn't fight Abraham, I'm going to train wreck Pav and his fans.
