calzaghes only excuse is that he fought old fighters....well actually he didnt pick to fight hopkins that was part of his hbo contract....when the contract was signed the last fight he was gonna fight was the light heavyweight champion in the usa....so it would have been tarver, wright, or hopkins....all who would have been old men in 2008.........i didnt like the way he went out but there was nothing else he could do besides fight hopkins again........people claim he picked on roy but roy-tito was on ppv to set up a championship fight
meanwhile roy yones has the worst excuses:
he lost it because of weight drain after the ruiz fight......but the calzaghe fight makes it painfully clear that he was only affected in the 1st tarver fight....hes just a mental wreck
he gets credit because he gave tarver a rematch.....dont give him credit he just has a huge ego......he couldnt stand tarvers loud mouth
he lied to everybody that he was back in the calzaghe fight.....his dad even said he was in the best shape of his life.....then he blamed the loss on his cut when the fight was practically over by then...and the worst is who else would claim a 1st round knockdown made you lose focus
he fought ex cab drivers because he didnt want to fight overseas because judges robbed him....when all the greats ali, robinson, etc fought in multiple countries.....im sure they could find a neutral country besides korea
and my favorite....he tested 6 times over the testosterone limit because of OTC ripped fuel...lmao
and shane mosley is greater too!
good post......I see what you mean ......but reed gonna counter this hard
I think Roy is really overrated. The guy had a great run but when it went, it really went. I rate Roy outside of the top 50 of all time but he still is probably a top 75 fighter. With that said he still did more than Joe.
another thing.....how come roy was able to beat down guys like they have never been beaten before.....i swear his record is as shady as margaritos....both of them never had good boxing skills just physical attributes
like clinton woods is a solid competitive lhw......roy blew him out in 6 rounds they threw in the towel

Did you just compare Roy Jones Jr. and Antonio Margarito?
I believe the tail-end of a fighters career is just as important as the beginning and middle, and Roy Jones post Ruiz fight is absolute crap!
He said himself before the Ruiz fight, his body was getting old and age was catching up with him. After the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight, he even said Calzaghe shouldn't get much credit for beating Hopkins. And if Calzaghe beat him , he shouldn't get much credit for that either- I remember seeing it on ESPN.
please post age
when making threads of this nature
i swear some of you have to be really
young, considering what you're saying
u should get a career set of roy and try
and go through the times and his career...
u really need to have been there.....
