      So Calzaghe had to fight the No2 contender Eubank for Steve Collins vacated WBO title ! the rest is history!
      Its a list of fighters Roy Jones is often said to have ducked.

        I ain't a big Joe C fan, but this subject has been beat to death. He wasn't gonna leave his nest in the UK for a big fight before, and US guys weren't very willin to go over there. Since he stepped his game up in '06 against Lacy the whole duckin thing has gotten old. At the end of his career he's taken on his toughest challenges.

          Calzaghe has never ducked anybody.

          Ottke, Hopkins and others ducked him.

              Joe tried to get a fight with Hopkins several years before they fought. At first B-Hop agreed to fight, but then he backed out at short notice.

              In Hopkins last fight outside the US about 15 years ago, he was knocked down twice. He's been afraid to leave the US ever since.

                    Although Omar Sheika was a victory on that level at the time as he defeated Glen.

                    Allow me to add that Johnson was without controversy outpointed by the mighty Sven Ottke.

                      Calzaghe pulled out of a fight with Glen Johnson with an injury but still maintained he wanted to fight him.

                      It was actually Johnson who said he didnt want to fight Calzaghe anymore after he upset Roy Jones.
