    Same with Jones. Frank Warren was arranging a fight back in 2000. 9 ****ing years ago! How did he wait until Jones was old?

    Most of the hate for Joe Calzaghe is built on pure ignorance and the the absolute refusal to regard facts.
    no he wasn't willing to fight Jones

      And?

      To be fair, he won every title at supermiddleweight and never lost any of the belts in the ring. About as close as you can get these days.

        The closest you can get is what Hopkins did at middle. Which is hold each title at the same time - that's what undisputed is.

        I'm pointing out that you're awfully hard on one and pretty lenient on the other. to be fair? Well to be fair it took him about a decade to unify anything and he he held three titles for a very brief period.

          Actally, yes the Ring title means the holder is undisputed friend. And Jones did indeed garnish that title in the Eric Harding fight if I'm not mistaken.

          Yes, Wlad is undisputed since he holds the ring title. Is he not the #1 ranked heavyweight on every rankings page or system there is in the world? Exactly.

          Proof?

              Roy wasn't even the proper Ring champ? What does that mean? The Ring certainly thought he was.

                Do you understand what undisputed means?

                Even Ring Mag later admitted that they ****ed up and Dariusz M shouldve been the champion.

                  He won the WBO belt, defended it against meager competition, and then became undisputed champ in his LAST fight in the division, and did not defend the undisputed title once. He didn't defend the linear title, not once.

                    I sure do although it's taken a new meaning today. But at the turn of the century it meant you held the three major titles in the division: WBA, WBC & IBF.
