    Serious question Yanks

    What would it take for Calzaghe to earn American respect?

    Would victorys over either Pavlik or Dawson be that special or would it just be dismissed as he only beat young hopefuls?

    Calzaghe couldnt get big fights when Jones was in his prime thats a fact, i dont buy the ''he's dodged the big fights'' because he hasnt, he probably wasnt famous enough to fight Jones or Bhop years ago.

    So what could Joe do in the future to earn your respect?

    And a question for you:

    What has Roy Jones done in the past 5 years that would even warrant him a title shot? Let alone a fight with Calzaghe?

    His win over Kessler was 100x more credible than this.

        Tell Joe to hop in and go back to around the year 2000 and fight Roy Jones Jr.

          Nothing. I've always said this. Get a Delorean- go to the past, and not piss your past away.

          Retire Joe- and take your dumb **** casual fans with you.

            That wasnt the question, Joe had the opportunity to fight a legend all be it a shot one (although i do seem to remember the usa fans saying Bhop was shot after Calzaghe beat him)

            Now seriously, this is not aimed at trying to take a dig at USA fans but what would it take to earn American respect? Is there anything Calzaghe can do?

              He has earned the respect, but I am not surprised how much emphasis people will put on his last two wins.

                Really I Agree With You, But It's Kinda The Same When De La Hoya Was Comming Up, He Beat All The Oldies, But Still Had No Respect. Imo, He Needs To Fight Someone Like Chad Dawson, Other Then That There's Really Noone Else Cause His Division Stinks Of Talent. Imo. Sorry About The Capz

                  Ah, let's see: Roy is almost 40, has been KTFO twice, way past his prime...perfect opponent for an undefeated whitey to make a name for himself.

                    calzaghe will never ever fight a threat in chad dawson. if a shot ass hopkins and jones could hurt calzaghe i dread to think what a young fighter would do to him. joe retire for your own health.
