Who did Calzaghe ever dodge?

[Pretty Boy1]

What were the reasons for Calzaghe pulling out of 2 fights with Glen Johnson and what year was this in? Not dis*****g it just interested.

[RIP Rudi Pika]

Joe pulled out of a fight with Johnson twice. Fact.


Nice spin though.

No spin, Joe got injured twice, and then as a replacement Johnson fought (and ultimately knocked out) Roy Jones Jr.

After what Johnson saw as a huge victory, he decided Joe high risk, low reward so he dodged him.

Nice try though.

Yeah true. Both due to injuries. People can either choose to believe it or not.

HOWEVER...Watch Woods-Johnson 3. Calzaghe was ringside, banking on Johnson to win to set up a fight between them. He and Warren were thinking Johnson would beat Woods as easily as he did in the second fight. Unfortunatley Johnson didn't come through with the win.

Calzaghe being ringside and vocally supporting Johnson proved his intention to fight him in my op.

He dodged The United States of America

Ahhh, the good old US of A.

A country whose arrogance is only exceeded by it's grossly inflated opinion of itself.

A country that won NO boxing medals at this years olympics.

A country whose stranglehold has been shattered by the European fighters you were so quick to discredit as "bums".

A country that thought it would be a good idea to elect George Bush the second time round.

A country where approximately 65% of the population don't even possess a passport.

Why should he go to such a place when the obviously superior fighters are all European based?

Doesn't help that you've all got fat asses either.

bad chad....

[Silencers]

I blame Frank Warren more than I blame Calzaghe for fights that didn't happen that could have and should have happened.

Thats some unadulterated hatred right there!!

[Pullcounter]

I'm fed up to the back teeth that so called "boxing fans" on here blame Calzaghe for not having the big names on his record. He never dodged anyone, if anything, they dodged him. They had their own little merry go round, fighting each other for 5 to 10 million dollars and Joe was dangerous but not a "big name". It was all about the money, why would they take a chance against a dangerous young fighter who wasn't a "name" and risk falling off the gravy train?

Calzaghe battled his way into the "big time" by schooling the "Great American Hope" Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy, so Joe could no longer be ignored. He had his shots against B Hop and Jones Jr. and beat what was put in front of him. Whether he would have done the same in their prime or not is not the issue, they dodged Joe, not the other way round.

he's dodging a bhop rematch and dawson.
