[S A M U R A I]

Warren has exposed Calzaghe.

Sounds like you're somewhat clutching at straws.

Warren has exposed Calzaghe.

His loyalty was only there to take the easy engineered route

Because Warren is to be listened too?

I mean he hasnt been bitter with Hatton for 3yrs?

I'll bet that the people saying he was exposed by Warren don't believe a word of what Warren says when he spoke about Jones wanting no part of Calzaghe and always pricing himself out back in the day.

Calzaghe says that he wanted the mega fights against the likes of Hopkins and Jones much earlier in his career but was held back.
"I never thought I got the respect I deserved. I wasn't getting the opportunity for the big fights, that wasn't my problem, that was managers and promoters who control boxing," said Calzaghe.
"Since '97 (after beating Chris Eubank for the WBO title) I was looking for a unification fight. I fought six former world champions because it cost less to pay them. I always had this frustration in me, I was wanting to prove myself so when the Lacy fight came along I was 34-35 and it rejuvenated me.
"What I gained from that I thought I lost with the Peter Manfredo fight. That was a joke fight. After that I decided I would be taking control and the only fight I wanted was Kessler, I didn't want no manager or politics getting in the way.
"I wanted to fight against the best ? after 11 years now I've achieved all I wanted to achieve and I have to decide do I want to keep doing it, I'll be 37. My contract came to and end (with Warren) and I went my own way."



Warren refutes any suggestion that he wasn't keen on placing Calzaghe in with the best of his contemporaries at the end of the 1990s and particularly the early part of this century.
"At the time the other champions were in Germany, Markus Beyer and Sven Otkke and they weren't coming out of there as their records show and Jones was a light-heavyweight. I made big offers to both the Germans and they wouldn't do a deal," said Warren.
"And Joe knows all about Hopkins. We had a deal agreed and then he came back asked for the double the money.
"Joe grossed £17m with me so I don't think that's too bad. Now he says the game is dying and yet he's taken out a promoter's licence, what's the point in that?"
In regard to multi-weight champion Jones, Calzaghe admits that he would "have loved to have fought him five years ago" as the win would have meant so much more even though his performance could not be faulted.
"Jones always had handspeed but he would never throw the amount of punches that I threw. It would have been a harder fight but I would have fancied my chances," he added.
Now he must make the biggest decision of his life and after so many fine triumphs he has nothing more to prove.

This ****sexual still talks about boxing,I thought he said it was dead

All Jones and Hopkins fans are bitter toward Joe.

Just as Pavlik and Dawsons, remember the Pavlik love pre Hopkins? WELL shows how fickle they are as 95% of posters who picked Pavlik are now Dawson fans!

When Dawson loses they will move to Allen Green and swear Joe is ducking him and that Dawson is really 36yo but got away with 26yo because of his childish lisp.

Yes it will happen.

This boxing fan will never move on to Allen Green! You can't count the Miranda loss against him because he was seriously ill... but despite that, I don't think Green will get past any of the top fighters at Super Middle

I think people just want to see good fights. I mean Hopkins/Calzaghe is competitive... but really ugly. Roy looked HORRIBLE in that fight... much like he did against trinidad. I think Calzaghe is an exceptional fighter... and he has nothing to prove... I just want to see a good fight. Is there anything wrong with that?

Dying. Not dead. Killing itself with too many sanctioning bodies, and some other stuff.

Joe never wanted to fight Jones in his prime and Calzaghe's own words prove it!

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-5499540-details/I+am+the+best,+says+honest+Joe+/article.do

Maybe he was joking when he said this?

"I could probably give Jones a tough fight, probably the best fight he's ever had," said Calzaghe. "But I know my capabilities and unless I got paid the crown ***els I wouldn't want to risk it."

Man, you have no idea how long i've been waiting to find that article again. I've been round and round with allot of brittish fellows on here explaining that but they never would consider believing their hero said those things. I could never convince them, but with this link, I now have the proof i've been refering to but could not find again. Thanks a million.
