What Should Calzaghe's Resume Have Looked Like?!

[S A M U R A I]

Hey, when you really want the big fights, you bend over backwards for the champs/recognized stars, it's the nature of boxing. Anything less is just ************.

No excuse for at least Glen Johnson not ending up on his resume. Especially when Glen called him out after Jones (which is an awful fight to retire on) and had enough momentum behind him after Dawson to warrant a creditable challenge. Calzaghe just doesn't like that style match up I'm betting. I don't think he's confident in his ability to keep Johnson off him with his offense.

You may be entirely correct. I wish he'd fought Johnson, although sometimes I wonder if it would have done a huge amount for him considering that Johnson has a ton of losses. I don't think Johnson would have won, but I do think it would have been a hell of a fight.

For who though? Take Roy Jones as an example: he wanted no part of a unification fight with DM and refused rematches with both B-Hop and Tones. If he won't even get in the ring with established fighters what chance did Joe have?

Great point that Ive made several times. People act like this is the WWE or something. Calzaghe shouldve gone to the States and attacked Jones with a steel chair

I apologise for acting like an idiot but i hear the same stuff from every Calzaghe fan.

I'm not taking Calzaghe's word for it... but when has ever Hopkins said that he backed out of the the fight with Calzaghe? Never.

You know like i say its all Hearsay.

Not every one.

You miss the whole point. Roy Jones was in the driver's seat hence the onus was on them, not him to make concessions.

Example: Roy Jones never wanted to fight Antonio Tarver. When Tarver became the #1 contender back in 2000, Jones wrote a letter to the IBF stating Tarver wasn't ready and that Tarver should have a box-off with #2 contender Eric Harding. Jones agreed to fight the winner. To his credit, he did, when Harding broke Tarver's jaw and took a UD.

Tarver kept plugging away and worked his way back to the #1 ranking. And then - in a fight he didn't have to take and was advised not to - he rematched Harding and blasted him in five. Then picked up two belts at LHW, showed up at every press conference and harassed Roy until a fight was made. This time, Jones couldn't use the "he's not ready excuse."

Say what you want about Tarver but he dared to be great. If Calzaghe really wanted Jones he would've moved up and fought some LHW contenders and worked his way up. But that was too much work for him, I guess. What do they say? The greatest risk in life is not taking one.

It's not all about just the names also, it's when he met them.

Most of the guys he beat during his WBO time were comin off losses.

LOL! I agree with the point that in 10 years as champion, he should have had more career defining fights and bigger challenges. Of that there is little doubt. But the problem I have is the haters cannot name the scores of P4P prime fighters that he supposedly should have been fighting.

But you'll take Hopkins word......

And this is not Calzaghe's word. If you'd read Ring, there was an article about Joe which detailed it

That's the thing though, no one does claim Calzaghe the G.O.A.T., or even anywhere near it. He gets high praise from Brits as he is one of our greatest and his fights were always more readily available for us for we're more familiar with him, so we could follow and support him closer

I'm pretty sure most non-trolling Calzaghe fans on here would agree that he isn't exactly a Harry Greb or whatever - not that that's something you can hold against him

I've heard many Calzaghe fans on here call him the GOAT. You're probably right though, it's the nuthuggers.
