Did Joe Calzaghe do enough to warrent a fight with Roy?

[IMDAZED]

He also left out a quote...

”You don’t go to somebody else when you’re the best, they must come to you, so I wouldn’t take the risk, and why would I? Why would I meet that challenge when I’m already the best? Why would I go to your country and give you a chance to allow the powers that be to take a close decision and give it to you?"

what a surprise.

To defend Joe on what Roy said.... thats exactly what Joe did...

He was on top.. and he came into Roys back yard and took the risk of possibly getting robbed had the fight been close.

You shouldn't be so bull-headed man. You can't just say "end of story" without knowing all the details involved, it isn't as simple as that. There's a ****load of politics involved in this business, nothing is ever cut and dried/black and white like you're seeing it.

Tell me something I don't know. Seriously.

Except the opponent wasn't a 25-year old rising champ. It was a 40-year old shell of one who everyone begged for him not to fight.

I think you could argue the fact... did Roy do enough to warrant a fight with Joe...

probably not... but it was what he had done throughout his career, that earned him the chance, now...

exactly .. i saw this thread and was like ????????????

Trolls have been trolling for a long time acting like this. They deserve it right back.

If I recall Kris' first series of posts at me were paranoid ramblings about me hacking the page to increase my karma bar. he couldn't understand why I was in the green and called me a troll. I was of course not talking to him but calling Ricky out on being a douchebag. Why anyone would ever ever defend Ricky is beyond me.

I'd defend most people against an abrasive, obnoxious, arrogant attacking bulleye.

All too often BS, you fall into that category I'm afraid to say. I wish you didn't as I don't think your such a bad guy really, but the fact is, you do.

More to the point, you cannot get over a negative obsession for slandering Calzaghe or his fans whom you tar with the same brush, including me. That Cluedo, is offensive, dumb and deserves little credibility.

it just seems to be all the time Bs, which is why I even brought it up, if it was the 1st time I seen you goin bananas at someone i wouldnt of even said anything... but I swear, every single time I come into a thread your just tearin on someone... and its usualy Kris... I read his posts, and his posts disagree with yours... hes calm and collect, and you seem to go off on the name calling tangent...

I dont agree on a lot of things Kris says, just like you do... but I was always able to have a cool debate with him about it.

And if anyone is going to defend Roy more than anyone else in here it's me... so I think if Im capable of keeping the cool in a Roy debate... you definitely should.

True.... BUT, before the fight.. what roy still had left wasnt exactly known... Joe WAS taking a risk... but nothing like the risk Roy would have taken going to England to fight Joe in his prime.

Are you joking Reed? What stage was Roy in when Joe came to fight him?

Come on, Reeddog. Joe was a 3-1 favorite over ROY JONES JR.

That says everything you need to know.
