You haven't refuted why Hopkins ducked him.
I said Jones avoided him, not ducked. The fact that he fought weak opposition means the excuse that Calzaghe was an unknown quantity is pretty weak.
I remember it being something like Jones was out of contract with HBO, Showtime offered him $6m to fight with Calzaghe and then he quickly signed with HBO again.
ALot of people over here knew how good he was, not all obviously. Steve Bunce predicted he'd shut Lacy out and win every minute of every round. We weren't all clueless that Joe was a great fighter.
