Let me just say this, the thesis of threads like that is completely wrong.

Making a thread like that and stating that he fought everyone in the SMW division is fine. He did.

Pointing out that the SMW was and is still **** is also fine. It is. People should not get **** for that response, because it's true.

Also when talking about Joe vs. Roy OR Bernard:

Get this straight- it's always incumbent on the guy with LESS popularity to make fights happen. Period.

Not the guy with the bargaining power. I know this statement will invariably fly by most of the nuthuggers but consider it closely.

Saying no one wanted a piece of Joe or "no one wanted to know" is ******ed. It's never the champs fault to chase after some guy with a WBO trinket (back then it was) or for him to see out challengers (Roy vs. Joe). This makes no sense. And if a guy is more popular again, he historically doesn't seek out guys who are obscure. It's not his job to make them a star (Hopkins vs. Joe).

If Joe REALLY wanted these fights back then, he would have taken the Tarver route. Joe had too much ego and considered himself the "real champion" and never pursued it like he should have if he really wanted the fame he thought he deserved.

Also saying Roy ducked Joe or Roy pulled out fights against Joe is insane.

Is it his "fault" his resume is average? That's debatable. But it is what it is.

The thing about all these delusional Calslappy"peeleft: nut huggers is they think if Calslappy"peeleft: even hinted about possibly wanting to fight someone it's the absolute truth' It's just as good as fighting that person. And he would have knocked them out spectacularly. In there minds it happened.

he is a waste of talent, with a poor resume.

He had Boxing Legends both above and below his weight class, but instead chose to dwindle in the same poor SMW Division. Even then, taking him a whole damn decade to unify it lol

He does have talent, you have to give him that.

They believe everything that comes out of his mouth. It's really tragic.

Im a Calzaghe fan, and its a damn shame he didnt fight in USA years ago to get popular enough to call out Jones, Toney, Hopkins when they were at there best (eventhough they were not SMW).
Those fights should of happened.

Could'nt have put it better my self.

These fans talk like they know the in's and out's of matchmaking. They hav'nt the slightest idea.

Hopkins apparently ducked Calzaghe because he wanted a higher fight purse but Calzaghe didnt duck RJJ because he only wanted a higher fight purse?

Sounds confusing does'nt it. This is what the other thread was based around.

Like ive said numerous times, if Hopkins REALLY ducked Calzaghe then surely he would have brang it up during the press conference last year. Surely he would have brang up all the **** about Hopkins wanting a higher purse and backing out of the fight back in 2002. But he did'nt because its all bull****.

Reality check you Calzaghe nutthuggers.

Also Calzaghe's the same guy that said Pavlik said 'no' to a fight with him when we all know Pavlik called him out numerous times after Calzaghe beat Hopkins.

Calzaghe lies quite a bit.

Very reasonable and very correct.
