Calzaghe made himself look like a fool last night.

[.Mik.]

Get a grip. The only people whining are Calzaghe haters and Roy Jones fans. A few simple facts:

Roy would've done it.

Roy has done much worse and even tried showboating during the first couple of rounds last night.

Roy made no complaint about it whatsoever, so why should you?

Joe has done that kind of thing for a number of years.

Hopkins did it to Pavlik...to no criticism.

Roy didnt think of himself as a washed up has-been. He thought he could beat Calzaghe and he tried to beat Calzaghe.

They were both dignified and fine with each other afterwards.

Roy got paid handsomely for the fight.

Whether you agree or not, to Joe, this was the biggest fight of his career, the one he has always wanted and perhaps it will be his final ever fight. He wanted to put on a show and he did.

[-Antonio-]

that was burying a washed up all time great.


haha roy your can't beat me!!! i'm doing what i'm suppose to do!!! i'm a real tough man as i beat up a guy who was koed by glen johnson 5 years ago!!! hahayou can't hit me roy!!! because you havn't been ranked in the top p4p in years!! haha

thats not cool.

Calzaghe won, but why rub it in? he was suppose to according the majority. Is beating up 40 old washed up Jones really that great? If so, Johnson beat 35 year old one, maybe he should get more credit then.

Truth, I understand you're mad because you're a fan. Putting your hands behind your back and then knocking a man out is mocking him to the highest level. I'm SURE you enjoyed that. Status doesnt matter.

I'm just saying, pot calling the kettle black and all that. I dont particularly enjoy guys showboating all the time either.

to me it matters if its against a great fighter on the way down. I hope Trevor Berbick did not taunt Ali when he beat Ali.

[Mrvooh]

I don't get that, Jones would have done the same thing, he's been doing the same thing for years, 1 fight like that from Calzaghe and he gets criticism.

Exactly= what goes around.....

[squealpiggy]

I want to like Joe but just cant. He's so ****ing ****y. Until he beats somebody of note i'm not gonna jump on his **** the way alot of people have.

Exactly who does he have to beat in your estimation? Bear in mind that he doesn't have a time machine so prime Ray Robinson is out of the question.

He beat EVERYBODY at super middleweight. He moved up to fight p4p rated Hopkins and he won. He then fought a cash fight against Jones. You might make the claim that if Calzaghe beat, for example, Dawson, then he'd have your respect but frankly I don't think I would believe you. Calzaghe in particular has been a guy who has received criticism after every single win, regardless of which way the wind was blowing. Hopkins was too old, Lacy was too young, Kessler was too Danish... If Calzaghe was to fight Dawson next saturday then next Sunday Dawson was never any good, and that's just the bottom line.

What's the difference though? It's equally disrespectful whether you're doing it to a limited journeyman or an aging ex-champ.

Here Tuggers and Mickey...
Y'all badly need these;

[squealpiggy]

It's because it's out of character for Joe, I'm pissed off from a Calzaghe fan's perspective not a Roy's fan perspective.

I'm not so sure it was out of character. Calzaghe has a nasty streak in him and he shows it by doing to his opponent what his opponent threatened to do to him. He did it to Hopkins by pretending to bum him, he did it to Lacy by outmuscling him, he did it to Jones by out-showboating him.

[Allucard]

I don't get that, Jones would have done the same thing, he's been doing the same thing for years, 1 fight like that from Calzaghe and he gets criticism.

Yes, that was all showbizz for Calzaghe. But i still wanna see him against the young undefeated CHAMPION Dawson. Now that's a meaningful fight. And one Zaghe can't win. And prolly won't happen because of it.

It's true, people have been ignorantly bashing Joe for so long that they are afraid to swallow their words and admit his class. Apart from Mizzou that is.
