I'm still stuck on the issue of whether or not to call what Joe does "hitting."

Ward>>>calzaghe
While he was undisputed he refused to travel to the U.S.A to fight, and as a champion why should he have gone? How many times does Mayweather travel overseas to defend a title? How many times did Bernard Hopkins travel overseas to defend his titles?
Why do you think a British champion needs to travel to defend his titles? The only reason they do it is to earn more money. Props to Joe for not selling out. Facts are none, or not many of the American fighters of the time were willing to come to the UK to fight because if they did they were coming to meet Ubank, Benn, Colins, Joe. Even the B list super middles were top notch, Henry Warton, Robin Reed.Last edited by nattieboy; 12-25-2011, 11:32 PM.

because he was scared to fly. his own promoter said that was a load of sh-it though.
he doesn't have to. he can stay at home and fight bums all he wants but don't complain when you have a shi-tty legacy built on bums. he wouldn't even go to germany to fight #1 unified champ ottke so he's certainly not going to fight anyone good in the usa till they are made out of dust.

TBH i never was really a fan of Joe. I went to the Robin Reed fight and i honestly thought Robin won it.
I must say though i find it a bit strange when a grown man gets such a hard on over another. You know, with the Av and the sig all anti Calzagi, what that all about then?
Any fighter could have come to the UK to fight him, but they didn't want to.
