Roy Jones vs. Joe Calzaghe: Is Joe's Injury The Real Deal?

[kayjay]

THIS PROVES ME RIGHT YET AGAIN! The Joe Calzaghe FANS are too SENSITIVE about there one and only little Joey.... Your vaginas our all hurt because of ONE article.. lol your killing me!!!!!

Are you twelve years old?

More amateur journalism from Mark Vester.

Sorry Pump, but the discrepancy about whether it was the pads or a heavybag doesn't suggest Calzaghe is faking it.

The title of his next article should be prefaced with "lmao" and signed with "pwn." That's the level we're dealing with here.

Calzaghe has never sold a PPV, his fight against Kessler was the least viewed HBO Championship Boxing telecast ever, he can attract 40,000 to a stadium in his country, but he is not the draw.

I dont think he is duckin. But I highly doubt this delay is needed. But im far from surprised that this happened. really annoying.

WESS, you've been exposed as a trigger happy, un-educated poster so many times and carry on with such posts, their just not worth responding too. Seriously though, try to lower the post count and get some value in there at least.

Dude, the reactions to this small insignificant article are trigger happy.

BigPopp, the fight heading to the UK is a possibility yes, just saying why does their have to be 3 separate articles on this thing, each one progressively speculative, that's not been the case for bigger news with more logical excuses, that's all.

None of the articles were explicit in stating that Joe Calzaghe feigned injury to push the fight date to November. Why don't you quit playing the part of Joe's lawyer, he has that taken care of. Seriously, you guys sound like Joe's girlfriend, jumping on a few paragraphs of very open ended writing and turning it into something that it really is not.

They are mad at me because I ALWAYS point out that they are so sensitive over Joe. I don't think they like when I point fingers... haha They are too easy to mess with, plus I love there responses! Always a Laugh!

Appreciate they might seem so, especially when there hasn't been many posts on this thread. However, I was responding to replies to me, so replied them, I'm also not the only one to complain.

I never said they accused of feigning injury. The points made were that of balance, other lesser news do not receive so many articles, or such speculation in the form of articles. Not even Mayweather retiring when many more believe there to be other reasons than claimed. That's drawing a fair comparison and underlining this isn't very balanced.

The open ness of the writing was also the precise thing I was talking about, it's not clear what it's suggesting and is easily mis-interpreted. Seems you've not quite gotten that or misinterpreted it. Don't intend on commenting any further though so I for one will leave it there.

The bottom line is that this was an unneccessary article, by a poor journalist, that contained no information. It was trying to point to the possibility that because of a possible Warren court case, it is very convenient that Calzaghe has injured his hands. This may be so, but until the journalist has something confirmed to say about that court case, there is no point publishing anything. If he did have some decent info, then, at that point it is appropriate to post a "how convenient" article. That is what journalism is about, but in this case, with nothing to report, it is as KayJay pointed out, roughly equivalent to a sub-standard post in NSB by someone of less than average intelligence.

I post here nearly everyday, and get most of my boxing info from this site. I want it to be a high quality news source, not an amateurish fansite, which is where this particular article really belongs. Boxingscene should expect better.

Fair enough.

Well this is the biggest fight on the horizon and journalists get paid by the article, so they are cashing in.

The writing is open because outside of the few facts the article presents, there is no conclusion to be drawn. The difference between you and I is that I wasn't looking for or found bias in the openness of the writing. I'm not saying it was a good article, it was just a few words and nothing to get defensive about.

lol, thanks for campaigning on behalf of NSB posters.

You ALL have good points. But by sitting here and debating it, your just making it a popular thread. If if bothers EVERYONE that bad, then don't read it. I mean its that easy, right?

I honestly didn't find ONE thing wrong with it. Its NO different than turning on the TV and listening to the ****** NEWS. You can NEVER believe everything you see, hear or read. Like I said all we can do is wait like everyone else and the truth will be told.

Remember I'm not the one crying here, you all are. I find this amusing and i'm just the guy on the side lines watching and laughing at this circus show. Really is it that BIG of a deal for feelings to be hurt over? I think not!
