You have. Yet you dedicated the majority of your time on here to speaking about him. Which is why I continue to ask why. Your life's work goes into discrediting him. Whenever you're ready to justify that, let me know.Comment

And he had the gall to say he was a real champion, despite only REALLY being a champion since winning over Bernard Hopkins.
Prior to that, he had almost NO good wins or legitimate opponents.
Calzaghe really is pathetic, i hope he comes back and fights a real fighter like Dawson and he gets his ass kickedComment

Is it stronger as a sport than in 1995? NO. There's people who buy the pay-per-views, a pretty specific audience but as a sport it's definitely way weaker tha in 1991.Comment

As for the quote itself, that's pretty much what happened - he got offered megabucks to fight in the US and did so. No point doing so otherwise as he could make good money in the UK. It happened 5 years too late sadly. I'd have picked him to beat the Jones of 2003 mind.Comment

Thanks, and fair enough. I remember Eubank saying exactly the same thing.

He knew he could lose. So, should he have taken a more dangerous fight for a lot less money in the US for another fight for more money in the UK?
And what would Jones, Hopkins et al have done in the same situation?Comment

Hopkins was the heavy underdog against Trinidad who was destroying everyone even at Middeweight. No one gave him a chance.
There is your answer.
He knew he'd lose but you still pick him to beat Roy back then?Comment

Trinidad? Really. A blown up Welter. Not even in his top 5 of wins.
Toney was Jones' coming of age. An excellent win even given the weight-drained nature of his opponent. However, he was not an established champion at the time.
Expecting Calzaghe to travel to the US for less than he would have made in the UK is nonsense. Nobody would do that. The hypocracy of the septics on this topic knows no bounds.Comment
