Calzaghe is gonna fight a guy he already KOed in the 1st round?

Looks like you know about as much about Calzaghe as you do about Eubank.

Do you think Joe's fans, even the hardcore few are happy about the prospect of a rematch with Veit? Of course not.

Joe's crowning moment fell through not so long ago after a very respectable offer to fight Hopkins (stateside) was declined.

I swear to God, you come off as someone who's entire beef with a fighter is based on watching 1 fight and a trip to boxrec.com.

I've seen Calzaghe on Showtime twice - once in an outdoor fight where he couldn't put away a guy that looked like a Sunday Night Fox Sports undercard fighter - and once in a hometown Cotto-Corley style stoppage against Byron Mitchell where people outside of the same geographical location of Wales all thought something was very fishy about that referee and Joe's "communication"

I wish someone would post some downloads of Calzaghe exhibiting what apparently I have missed. I have tons of points if that's your thing and want reimbursement.

Can anyone upload some Calzaghe fights?

Damn, how come these Calzaghe threads always die when I ask someone to upload some of his stuff?

I don't think that fight will happen. I see JC moving up weight.

Antwun Echols, RJJ about 3-4 years ago, Bernard Hopkins. Hopefully he'll fight Lacy at the end of the year.

Jones. They were on a collision course in 2001. Tiger was the only challenge left for Roy at light heavy. Knowing that fight wasn't likely to ever take place outside of Germany, Jones started to take offers from Calzaghe seriously. I'm not sure why it didn't happen, Jones is known for being fickle(deservedly so), who knows? I dont.

Hopkins. The offer was made, and a genuine one at that. The money was good, great even, for Hopkins. The fight would take place stateside. The outcome? Offer declined. As a side note, I remember an interview Hopkins gave at the time of the offer. When asked about Calzaghe, Hopkins played oblivious, changing subject immediately on the interviewer. Hopkins is a shrewd man, his options never included Joe.

Echols. Most definitely. I'd have loved to have seen them fight a few years ago. ****, even a faded version would be a more exciting prospect than Veit II or Magee. Echol's loss to Mundine makes him a backwards step though, and as much as Veit represents a greater step backwards in terms of competitiveness, he's Joe's mandatory. It's a 'nothing' fight, a bull**** fiasco that has pissed off ALL of Joe's fans. What it does mean though, is that Joe's still at 168, keeping alive the prospect of a showdown with Lacy.

I'm glad you were sensible enough to omit Ottke from that list.

I have some. I can't capture video though.

Surely someone out there has the Eubank fight?

LOL!!! Yeah he'd destroy Ottke & probably within 3 rounds & then get disqualified for legally KO'ing him.

It's looking likely.
