Now I have a lot more respect for JMM than I do Calzaghe, and he is one of my favorite fighters. I also think his willingness to step up to the plate against fighters at the top of their game are way bigger than that of Joe. But he has reached a point in his career of where he is just fighting for money it seems like now by calling out Hatton which is understandable.
The overall point of this thread though is to point out how his two marquee wins at 135 are starting to lose a lot of their luster. Diaz was never really that good to begin with as everybody saw when he lost to Campell. And then he goes on to gets beat tonight by a fighter who punches as soft as Ice La Fox's glossed lips. This is pretty much the same type of thing that Joe is getting bashed for with Kessler, Lacy, and to a certain degree RJJ.
And after how impressive Bradley fought tonight (and even I can't stand the fact that he doesn't have power to go with his talent) I think people should demand a JMM-Bradley fight if they care about JMM going out like a great fighter before his career is over with.
