Joe Calzaghe Would Consider a 10 Million Dollar Return

[kemmer]

Joe C is one of the biggest fraud in boxing and he wants more money!!
He fought 98% of his fights in the U.K , 98% of his opponents where medioca fighters,He only fought in 1 division all his career (super middleweight)
He fought 2 old warriors at the end of there roads.

R.J.J 94-96 super middleweight champ

B.Hpkns 2001-2005 super middleweight champ

Joe C 94-96 British super middleweight champ. 2001-2005 WBO super middleweight champ beating no names.

My point when this legends where in there prime Joe wasnt worth sharing the ring with them only once they got old in 2008 he decided to take them on.

but when you turn the tables around and its his time to fight the up and coming stars (P.Willams,Chad Dawson,Carl froach) he suddenly retires

Shame on you Joke Clazaghe!!

Does anyone even read the full articles anymore? he was JOKING for **** sake, no one is going to pay him $16m and he says that. ****ing nubs the the lot of you.....

[Abstraction]

People need to stop discrediting Joe for the Hopkins win, saying Hop is old. He may be old but he is still teaching class. Hops is a legend and would still be favored over almost all of the elite fighters in the game.

Straight up disrespecting Hopkins, now Roy is a different story.

dude it's not the point.

He had the chance to face him years before but he chose to face D-Grade opposition and mandatories, and had the nerve to say Hopkins and RJJ were facing him when they could not be bothered with picking up no money and coming all the way to a half empty stadium in Wales, not to mention just for a pathetic WBO belt.

Face it, Joe only became a Marqee boxers once RJJ and Hopkins went south.

Dude here's the point for you yet AGAIN:

Calzaghe called out, and confirmed fighting Hopkins in 2002, and HOPKINS (not Calzaghe as your posts ******ly suggest) pulled out, taking less money to face Carl Daniels instead.

So you argument falls on it's head. Hopkins had the chance, and HE pulled out. You lose all credibility ranting on like you do without any knowledge or respect for some basic facts. Your some kinda imbecile.

rofl no it does not.

Fights get made and fall on their head all the time. You act like that is the only on in history

Only need to look at recent bouts.

Haye-Klitschko OFF
Valuev-Chagev OFF
Khan-Kotelnik postponed

Not to mention the countless times Hopkins-RJJ themselves were supposed to have a rematch. But fell through at the last second

Fact of the matter is, the SMW was an awful division. Joe should have unified it sooner for more opportunities. His wins are questionable so that is why he as never had "Super-Fights"

Hopkins wanted a big payday, and got it by staying at MW and facing DLH eventually at 156. He was after Paydays, he was already unified and Ring Champ. What the heck would he want to come to Wales for a shabby WBO belt !?

I mean Joe pulled out of Johnson Two or Three times. That should say it all if you want to bring this lame topic up

Hopkins didn't pull out. There was no signed deal, just terms bandied about.

You just get worse and worse and ******er.

Haye Klit = Injury
Valuev-Chag = injury/sickness excuse on the ******* side
Khan-Kot = Injury

Jee wiz your thick.

Not to mention the countless times Hopkins-RJJ themselves were supposed to have a rematch. But fell through at the last second

That was over the purse split, Hopkins wouldn't compromise on a proper fair deal and tried ripping Roy off with a 10% extra hidden for Golden Boy, effectively largely his.

Hopkins doubled his money, and pulled out. You don't go ahead and agree a fight for a good while, see the other guys going ahead seriously (Calzaghe) then pull out last minute doubling your money if you really want the fight. You do it knowing the money cannot be doubled and it gets you out of the fight, it's basic boxing, business, and common sense. Three things you clearly don't possess. So it's your boy Hopkins whom btw I like, whom your actually criticising more in your dodgey unclear subjective ranting way.

For more money and more of a payday as you so say he wants, then facing Carl Daniels.

No way, has your argument completely come undone and directly contradicted itself again? Yes, its evidently has.

I mean Joe pulled out of Johnson Two or Three times. That should say it all if you want to bring this lame topic up

Largely due to, you guessed it, injury. It's one of his biggest regrets that fight not coming off, has Hopkins said that of Calzaghe or anyone from years ago? No. At least Roy did.

too bad hopkins didn't confirm it cause he had no idea who the **** joe calzaghe was in 2002. calzaghe is a big lying sack of ****. he used roy jones and hopkins names to hype himself up his entire career while secretly telling frank warren to make him the easy fights.

last minute? the fight was never signed. how do you pull out of a fight that was never even made. if he wanted to pull out of a fight he would have faked an injury like joe against glen johnson ooops!
