why do people act like calzaghe ducked prime hopkins and jones??

[QADASHBANYAH]

when in reality that wasnt the case.........

PROBABLY BECAUSE HE NEVER FOUGHT A PRIME HOPKINS OR A PRIME JONES???

IM PRETTY SURE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT THOUGH...???

Come on man, what in the hell do you think??

You think that was a prime JONES? OR A PRIME HOPKINS?

HE WAS A CHAMP, MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT AS A EUROPEAN YOU AINT **** UNTIL YOU PROVE YOURSELF AGAINST THE BOYS OVER HERE. HE WAITED A DAY TOO LATE AND WAS A DOLLAR TOO SHORT.

Now I dont take anything from him (CALZAGHE) as he had talent, no doubt, but once again this topic is not about his talent but when he fought two fighters....


He (JOE CALZAGHE) fought jones in 2008.

IN MAY 2004, JONES GOT HIS ASS WHOOPED BY TARVER,.
(UNABLE TO CONTINUE)

IN SEPTEMBER 2004, GLEN JOHNSON KNOCKED HIS ASS OUT, AND HE LAID UNCONSCIOUS FOR 3 DAMN MINUTES!!!

OCTOBER 2005 TARVER BEAT HIS ASS AGAIN. THIS WAS IN 2005 MIND YOU HE WAS DONE THEN. x3 BACK TO BACK LOSSES FOR SUPERMAN.

Jones took on Prince Badi Ajamu on July 29, 2006, and yes he won, but who in the hell is Prince Badi Ajamu??? LOL

HE BEAT ANTHONY HANSHAW LOL

Put it this way he (ANTHONY HANSHAW) got served by andre dirrell in a 5th round TKO... BASICALLY A BUM.

SO HE WON, BUT AGAIN TO BUMS, AND HE BEAT TITO WHO HAD BEEN RETIRED SINCE BASICALLY 2002, I MEAN TITO FOUGHT TWICE SINCE HIS 2002 RETIREMENT, AND THEN FOUGHT ROY IN 2008, BEFORE HE (ROY) FOUGHT JOE CALZAGHE.

LISTEN THERE WAS JUST A POST ON HERE ABOUT MANNY NOT BEING LIKE ROY JONES... EVERYONE KNOWS ROY WAS OVER THE HILL WHEN HE FOUGHT CALZAGHE.

ANYONE THAT DOESNT SEE THIS IS DELUSIONAL, HE WAS SLOWER, COULDNT EVEN CONNECT ON CALZAGHE, WHOM LITERALLY DANCED FOR ROY WHILE FIGHTING ROY LOL.

HE WAS OVER THE HILL.

I LIKED ROY, DAMN GOOD FIGHTER, BUT HE WAS OVER THE HILL WHEN HE LOSS TO TARVER X2 AND GLEN JOHNSON.

WHEN YOU ARE KNOCKED OUT AND STILL KNOCKED OUT WHEN THE DAMN NETWORK IS SIGNING OFF, YOU ARE DONE!

IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MAKE YOUR STANCE.

THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL ROY PRIOR TO RUIZ WOULDNT HAVE BEEN THE FAVORITE IN THE CALZAGHE FIGHT.

HELL CALZAGHE WAS THE FAVORITE!!! AGAINST ROY "SUPERMAN" JONES LOL!!!

BECAUSE THE BOOKIES KNOW BEST!! THEY DONT BET WITH MOTIONS, BUT WITH SOLID LOGIC.

I WON SOME GOOD MONEY OFF THAT FIGHT TOO AS I BET ON CALZAGHE!!! I WOULDNT HAVE DARED DONE THAT **** AGAINST ROY IN HIS PRIME.


Now BHOPS IS DONE NOW AS WELL, I LOVE BHOP, BUT HIS STYLE IS KEEPING HIM IN THE GAME LONGER....THATS IT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

YEAH HE BEAT A WASHED UP ROY, AND HIS RECENT FIGHT WITH PASCAL, SHOWS YOU THE SAD STATE OF BOXING WHEN A 40 PLUS YEAR OLD CAN WHOOP THE YOUNG BUCKS EASY...LOL

HELL AFTER THE ROY FIGHT EVEN SCHAFER WAS LIKE HE (BHOP) NEEDS TO RETIRE..LOL HIS BUSINESS PARTNER!!!

NOW I CAN DO THE SAME FOR BHOP, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS NOT TO DISCREDIT CALZAGHE, JUST TO STATE THE TRUTH.

THE OVER THE HILL BHOP KNOCKED CALZAGHE DOWN..LOL

NO WAY IN HELL BHOP THAT FOUGHT TITO WOULD HAVE LOST TO CALZAGHE, I MAKE MONEY BETTING SON. THIS IS WHAT I DO.

Calzaghe ducked Carl Froch, the guy is a b*tch...

[wazaa.]

Why do people act like someone even knew who Calzaghe was back then? Reminds me of when Vivian Harris said everyone was ducking him.

BOOM !! /thread.

Joe was a p*ssy and was afraid to make a name for himself in the boxing world. He has avoided risks all his career.

Hilarious, and I remember Manny Steward training him and saying the same stuff. I can vividly remember the Mayweather-Gatti press con where Vivian said that he was pound for pound that Floyd was ducking him, blah, blah...only to get his tail knocked out by Carlos Maussa, boy, that was HILARIOUS! And, he did nothing at all after that.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Calzaghe was a nobody back then.

Joe brilliantly waited unitl they were both old to and past it to fight them.

Wow and everyone Hopkins and Roy fought were somebodys?

dirk i've read through all of this thread, but i seem to have missed the bit where it shows Calzaghe ducked these guys, maybe u could show me the post(s) showing Roy and Hopkins calling him out, and Joe refusing to fight them? Maybe even a negotiation he walked away from? Anything?

[IronDanHamza]

Joe calzaghe Birth date 23 March 1972

Roy Jones Jr Birth date January 16, 1969

OH MY GOD 4 YEARS DIFFERENCE SHAME ON CALZAGHE FOR BEATING ON AN OLD MAN

This means what exactly?

Nope nothing, just yanks repeating themselves that he did. Say something enough times and people will buy it.

i'll admit the calzaghe-joppy fight was one of my favorite fights of all time.

Funny guy.
