Prime jones didnt want none if the welsh dragon!!!!

Yes it was. He really ducked a Showtime contract, which is what he would have had to do to make that fight. Calzaghe, on the other hand, wasn't tied to a network. Hmmm.

One networks as good as the other. Its the money they fight for not the glory of fighting on either Showtime or HBO. The money was good, Roy didnt take it.

Yeah, the money was real good. So much so that the biggest fight they could offer him was a million less than what he got for taking a piss. But you're right, one network is as good as another. Which is why Calzaghe stayed away from both.

Roy Jones never ducked Calzaghe.

Joe Calzaghe was a nobody with a paper title.

Jones didn't need an excuse.

Got it. Thanks, Dirk.

lol Jones titles weren't paper at LHW?

He had all three of them.

why does anyone believe any of these offers anyway? if a network is gonna pay 5 million for a joe calzaghe fight then frank warren is the best promoter in the world. calzaghe was too scared to fight glen johnson twice and had to be prodded into fighting jeff lacy. prime roy jones? doesn't seem likely he would want that.

How so, Dirk?

you know how badly jones would have been laughed at for fighting a protected euro champ who was smaller than him?.

Luckily he sidestepped that landmine of being laughed at by fighting the likes of Ricky Frazier instead!

(There you go Dazed. Thats the post of mine you pyschoanalysed for about 20 pages. I know, Joe was on the same par as Rick Frazier, right? Good one. Knock yourself out you boring ****)

Yes, the response to daggum's which post. He's got the excuse wrong but you agree with his premise. I'll take it.

There's the link. It was quoted in 2003, before the Jones decline.
