Why did Roy Jones turn down a fight with Calzaghe in America?

[The Guru_]

just saying something doesn't make it true. calzaghe turned down ottke, markus beyer and glen johnson. he won't fight those guys but he's willing to fight jones or hopkins? it's called lying.

Bayer and Ottke both ducked Calzaghe. Calzaghe called Ottke out for years and even done it over in Germany on live TV. He was even willing to KO him in Germany. He ****ed Bayers daddy up but ducked him :1point:

You have quotes from a Showtime exec, a reporter talking about the talks on the sweetscience, another article on bbc, Frank Warren talking about Hopkins and Jones turning down offers (on the Calzaghe doc not your average joe) and its all lies?

Ottke would never come out of Germany and if he was still standing after the 12 rounds then he would of won. The Reid Ottke fight comes to mind

this guy is full of laughs. calzaghe ducked a trilogy bout with mario veit.

It would be been as exciting as Hopkins trilogy with Allen. Hopkins should of got an award for his faked injury in the first Allen fight as well.
I think Jones is at least 3-0 with his trilogy with the cab drivers as well

the thing about calzaghe is, he called out everyone he thought wouldn't bother with his dumb ass

when it back fired he pulled out of the fights(funny **** with johnson )
the coward was about to pull out of the lacy fight till his father lent him some wrinkly old balls(better than nuthin?) from a dusty old cabinet his grandmother had as keepsake of her whorish days around the world
if jones accepted to go to wales and go down in weight like calzaghe wanted calzaghe would've shat his pants and pulled out with an injury

After getting his nice little contract with HBO, Jones has fought about three good fighters:

Reggie Johnson
Virgil HIll
Griffin

He ducked both Nunn and Tarver when they were his mandos and fought only cab drivers ever since.

cab drivers that were better fighters than most in calzaghe's resume

"im afraid of jones, you see what he did to the likes of richard hall, he played with him and destroyd the destroyer, and then you see richard hall give dariusz all he can handle, jones scares me"
