Calzaghe""James Toney should lose the flab and fight me.

An old article, but pretty interesting to here the verbals between them


Super middleweight king Joe Calzaghe wants to fight former three-weight world champion James Toney at Cardiff's Millenium Stadium on 8 July.

Calzaghe dismantled Jeff Lacy to add the IBF belt to his WBO title, a fight Toney said Calzaghe was sure to lose.

"Toney fancied Lacy's chances so I would love to see how he would get on with me," said Calzaghe, 33.

"He should lose the flab and fight me. But I don't think anyone can drag him out of his training camp at McDonalds."


James Toney: The Real Bling

Calzaghe is bristling after Toney told BBC Sport that Lacy would "destroy" Calzaghe at the MEN Arena.


I would love to kick Toney's behind now because I just missed out on doing it in the '90s when I was coming through
Joe Calzaghe

Toney also said: "Calzaghe never did anything. He beat Chris Eubank nine years ago, but what has he done since then? He's a joke."

Toney, 37, failed to win the WBC heavyweight crown on Saturday after a disappointing draw with Hasim Rahman.

He held the IBF middleweight and super middleweight title in the 1990s before moving up to win the cruiserweight crown.

However, a fight with Calzaghe is unlikely to happen as Toney scaled 236lb against Rahman and would have to lose almost 70lb to make the super middleweight limit.

"I would love to kick his behind now because I just missed out on doing it in the '90s when I was coming through," added Calzaghe.

Former four-weight world champion Roy Jones Jr, who beat Toney in 1994, has already said he would like to fight Calzaghe.

lol the toney that beat barkley at super middleweight....versus calzaghe

holy ****, toney might have killed him, the right hand counter is james' money shot and calzaghe is very vulnerable to that punch, calzaghe would never hit james clean, landing mainly on the elbows, shoulders and gloves the only way he could win is if an idiot judge didnt know what the target area was and counted joes ineffective slaps that land on toneys gloves and arms, but the fight wouldnt go the distance most likely, if a 43 yr old hopkins can drop joe a prime toney would have KO'd him easily, i think toney knocks him out mid or late in the fight

Calzaghe only turned pro in the year Toney beat Iran. 1997 Calzaghe would have gave the Toney that lost to Griffin all kinds of trouble.
