    And you know nothing about the WBO rankings when Calzaghe was thier champion. Maybe if Calzaghe was a part time sanitation worker like Lou De Valle he would of got a shot?

        Hopkins has stopped fights happening with: Toney, Calzaghe, Jones and Dawson
        Jones has stopped fights happening with :Jirov,Toney, Nunn and Tarver

        So I would say that these guys are all about the same

Calzaghe could of moved up you are right, but that wasnt what stopped the fight from happening. According to Warren who you love to quote Roy Jones asked for even more money, thats why the fight never happened.

          My question to you is this when is Warren telling the Truth when he was working with Calzaghe or after he was fired by Calzaghe?
          after obviously. the truth finally comes out cause he doesn't have to protect calzaghe anymore. and funny enough the facts all fit in his stories. you have no facts on your side just calzaghe and warren saying they are being ducked. all fighters and promoters say that to build up hype. calzaghe never faced the best, pulled out of tough fights, and faced easy opponents just like warren said.

                    article proves nothing. No talk of purse no indication that Calzaghe's camp reached out to Jones, no clues as to whether Joe would be moving down or Calzaghe up, it is just Joe saying he would be willing to fight Roy overseas.
                    looks like bollocks to me.

                      how are they the same? look at their resumes. hopkins and jones are full of good fighters and calzaghe is full of nobodies and a couple guys who used to be good but were badly faded. yeah hopkins and jones didn't fight everybody but calzaghe fought nobody.
