"Calzaghe Hater's Gold"

[Pullcounter]

What is the point anymore he is not going to fight Pavlik. Let the man end his career on a massive pay day

he can have that massive payday but he should get **** for it for the rest of his life, just like dlh will get **** for the rest of his life for picking on midgets.

abadger said it himself... "Calzaghe hater's gold" can be found in the following video (he said it in his usual sarcastic tone, of course)

Sorry if this is a repost, but in this interview during the workup to the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight, at about the 6:30 mark Calzaghe clearly states he would be disappointed to fight Roy Jones Jr. as his farewell fight after Hopkins,

". . . because Roy Jones was a great fighter but he's not a great fighter any more. He's been knocked out twice in his last something like five fights, so I don't see that being a motivating fight for me either. After this fight the number one fight would be maybe Kelly Pavlik/Jermain Taylor, the winner of them two. They're excellent fighters and they're boxing I think next month, so that's a possibility"



I don't consider myself a Calzaghe hater but I have no problem criticizing him in this instance though when he so clearly cannot keep his story straight. If he came out and said he felt he'd lost a step after the Hopkins fight and didn't feel as though he could be as competitive any more against young, prime fighters, I'd give him credit for being straightforward, just like I give Shane Mosley credit for saying he wasn't sure if at his age he still needed to fight the Antonio Margaritos of the world. But that's nowhere near the story he's using; instead he's trying to build up Jones and tear down Pavlik.

B-hop's got 4 losses.. he can't be very good. These chicks know their stuff.
