Difficult Scenario For Calzaghe Haters

[bsrizpac]

If Joe Calzaghe beats Roy Jones Jr. on Sept. 20th, then proceeds to beat Kelly Pavlik @ 168, would you then concede that he is a great fighter?

He's already a good - great fighter.

Beating Jones doesn't prove anything.

Quick.. "pwn" me, so that I too may know what "pwned" feels like.

The **** is "pwn"? Are we talking about fish again?

[majestiC]

I think Joe should beat Jones, Pavlik and the winner of Tarver v Dawson and retire

tha is what i am thinking!

He already is. He will become the best fighter of this era if he wins on the 20th though.

so hes better than de la hoya, trinidad, floyd, pac man, morales, barrera, lennox, james toney, kostya tszyu, sweet pea, jcc, holyfield, ike quartey, shane mosley, castillo, corrales, hopkins, roy jones jr........

calzaghes career is from 1993-2008 so by saying that you are suggesting he is better than all these fighters......

disgusting in some ways ...but hilarious you would actually say that he is the best of his era if he beats a washed up roy

somehow beating two 40+ year olds in a row after 10 years hiding behind a paper belt fighting nobodies qualifies you as great?!

To a large extent I agree with this. Although I think Joe is a great fighter, I do not think he has faced the quality of opposition to be put up there as the best of his era. He is in the pocket not far off with a handful of guys for sure, but I think it is a little bit ludicrous to say he is the best of this era.

I think JC has a legitimate claim as being the best (this will always be subjective though) MW-LHW of this generation should he beat Jones. Calzaghe, Jones, Hopkins and Toney are clearly the best fighters in this weight range during this generation and having wins over 2 of his 3 contemporaries will be huge along with being undefeated and having a record amount of successful title defenses against many quality opponents that get underrated so as too not give JC credit for the victories.

I see Calzaghe fighting Jones, Pavlik and possibly the Tarver/Dawson winner, unless Joe breaks his hand again. One more hand fracture and I think he will retire for good.

i feel sorry for calzaghe fans that actually think he was a shot vs roy jones... theres no way calzaghe can beat roy jones unless he was in whales...calzaghe has no idea what he getting him self into... roy might be just another man..but hes a master..

This sounds eerily familiar.

i feel sorry for Tarver fans that actually think he was a shot vs roy jones... theres no way Tarver can beat roy jones unless he was in Tampa...Tarver has no idea what he getting him self into... roy might be just another man..but hes a master

Y.E.S.

Joe should get mad props if he's able to pull that **** off.
