    "I could probably give Jones a tough fight, probably the best fight he's ever had," said Calzaghe. "But I know my capabilities and unless I got paid the crown ***els I wouldn't want to risk it." - Joe Calslappy.




    In his book 'No ordinary Joe' he says & I quote ''I would never fight Roy Jones because his a shell of his former self & the win would be meaningless'' - Approx 18 months later the coward fights him.

    Cherrypicking at it's finest.

      Cesar Rene Cuenca is 41-0 with 1 K.O LMFAO!

      A prime Roy would of knocked Calzaghe spark out.

      oh is this the so-called prime jones jr you are talking about?.....

          That punch would of knocked Calzaghe out cold. Jones got up & continued to dominate the fight. It's boxing - you get in the ring, you're going to get hit. You jump a shower, you're going to get wet.

          If I knew how to embed videos I'd upload Joe Calslappy getting floored by journeyman Byron Mitchell & the feather fisted Kabary Salem.

            That was when men was men.




            nigel benn was Asked whether Joe Calzaghe would have beaten Benn, Eubank, Collins and other greats from the era, Nigel Benn said:

            “He might have beaten us all, who knows, we’ll never know.”

                Overrated? OVERRATED?

                The guy holds notable wins over a young B-Hop & James Toney! He destroyed Mike McCallum & knocked out Griffin & Virgil Hill, etc

                Not to mention the undefeated Gonzalez. As well as wins over Tarver, Woods & Kelly.

                I believe only two guys have won world titles from middleweight all the way upto heavyweight. Roy being one of them, the other being Fitzsimmons?

                    Dunno why you're laughing because whilst he was doing that Joe Calzaghe was fighting bums like Tocker Pudwill & Byron Mitchell.
