Calzaghe Fires Verbal Jabs at Roy Jones and Pavlik

[ALT-Assassin]

What do you mean somebody? I actually posted that on boxingscene over a year ago. And then, several months ago, someone posted the same quote! In fact, that's what made me start posting here because I didn't when I first signed up. I remember the quote when it first came out! But who cares? You won't believe anyway. Peace.

If that is true,can you find the thread?

I tend to find lies hard to believe.

So Joe said he didnt want to fight Jones but kept calling him out........for a laugh?

I never find it so I often have to go to another message board where I posted it once - when I repost it. It proves nothing anyway but, truthfully, I don't really care who believes or not.

It was Matt McCormick - I think that was the interviewers name - on an interview on June 28, 2003, shortly after Jones defeated Ruiz. And I wanna say ********* (that was one of the sites I frequented A LOT back then--still do) but truthfully, I don't remember where I first read it. I do remember thinking it was a very honest statement from Calzaghe, a fighter I liked--before I got here.

And I don't blame him for making it; at the time Jones was damn near God. Didn't hurt at all to say it. I wish I could find the original link but I can't. Actually, a few years ago, (was writing an article on Calzaghe-Lacy? I believe), I searched mightily for the link and couldn't find. When I saw someone re-post that quote on HERE I was SHOCKED. Couldn't believe someone else even remembered and I don't know how they found it.

Anyway, that's the long and short of it. No doubt, someone will post it soon. My girl's here and if I don't log off I'm ****ed. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Regardless of whoever ducked who, those fights didn't happen when they should have. Watching Calzaghe face the faded versions is disappointing but, whatever. That's boxing.

Damn, how can people not remember that quote?

Someone even had it in their sig for ages.

Yet you believe everything Joe says, even when they directly contradict his previous statements.

Please find evidence of Joe ever "calling Jones out" in his prime. Oh wait there isn't any! But since you're a nuthugger, you believe it.

Dirk Diggler started watching boxing less than a year ago. It's pretty obvious.

Wait........for this quote to be legit...........wouldnt YOU have to believe what Joe said?

No such quote exists. It wouldn't be so obscure if it did.

Calzaghe talked about wanting to fight Jones so many times. Its common knowledge.

Thanks man. When I read some of these posts, it seems like I'm in an alternate universe. Like Will Ferrell said in Zoolander: "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here people!"

Yeah thats a fair call...IMO Taylor is definatley the quicker fighter.
However would he be keen on a scrap with Kessler?? How about RJJ or Lacy???
Hmmmm now theres food for thought
He was a dam sight more admirable against Calzaghe than Lacy was!!
I guess we will never know until these fights happen.
