why joe calzaghe never came to america earlier

[daggum]

Even a stone has its purpose!

thats true. a lot of them were used for calzaghe title defenses.

At 160 the only one worth mentioning is a younger Hopkins. At 175 to name a few you had a prime Jones, Montel Griffin, Michaczewski, Tarver, Erdei, Virgil Hill, Henry Maske.

Unfortunately the most recognizable names at 168 were going up or not fighting any more when Joe started his move. Benn was done, Steve Collins didn't stick around long enough, McCallum had moved up but was at the end of his career, McCleallan was tragic.

I would like to see how Joe would had fared against these guys but the timing wasn't there and his division wasn't loaded as it used to be. He fougt the available competition but wasn't nearly as good.

His comming out party to the world was agaisnt Kessler, he adjusted like a master in that fight and took it over. Unfortunately his best match-ups and fights came at the end of his career and makes you wonder why he didn't match himself up against the top names earlier cause he had the stuff to beat anyone of them in their prime

At 175 to name a few you had a prime Jones, Montel Griffin, Michaczewski, Tarver, Erdei, Virgil Hill, Henry Maske

Dont deflect, we are talking about Joe not Roy. You were asking and I answered. Now all you are doing now is looking at their record at the end of their careers or till now. If you were a fan back then then you know those guys brought something to the table. You are now trying to fit it so it can look good with your agenda. I never said that Joe wasn't a good fighter either. So by your analogy Joe should had fought Tarver sometime before he KOed Jones.

Do a little research and watch some of those fights

Triangle theories don't work in boxing. Try again. You must have been watching the sport recently

[BattlingNelson]

If all the top super middleweights are Europeans why go to America? Who was there to fight?

Bernard Hopkins was a middleweight scared to set foot in Joe Calzaghe's division; he never fought at 168 pounds, why is that?

Roy Jones never fought the best in any weight class he fought in. Joe Calzaghe called him out for years and years and when Roy Jones called Calzaghe out he got the ass-whooping when he wanted it.

Joe Calzaghe beat the best America had to offer 10 yanks fought for Calzaghe’s title, 10 came up short.

Joe Calzaghe beat Bhop and Jones, prime or not they lost. Go to boxrec, go to youtube and see for yourself they lost.

Joe Calzaghe is the best of this era.

We all know that Roy Jones has 7 losses and Bhop has 5 losses, how can people say they would've beat Joe Calzaghe in their primes, do the math (46-0=46)

A career is judged when it is over, not when a guy is in his prime

Then why didnt he accept Sauerlands great purse for fighting Ottke in Germany?

[NinjaMan!]

Calzaghe's resume is the biggest joke on the planet. I mean at least try to unify 1 part of the title in 20 fights. Jeez.
