Why did people get mad bout Calzaghe clowing Roy?

yea.stop using age as an excuse when it fits your agenda

Depends how they age, obviously. People age differently, quicker, longer.

A fighter at 35 could be in his peak like Hopkins and still be world class at 45.

On the flipside, a fighter could be done before the age of 30 like Wilfred Benitez.

It really isn't to do with age, it's all to do with how they age. I assumed this was common sense.

Joe Calzaghe at 37 was still at an elite level. A world class fighter.

Roy Jones Jr at 37 was shot to pieces and hadn't won a legit fight in many years.

An obvious big difference.

its the truth his resume is far from great

Hmm, Roy Jones beat 2 ATG's in or close to their prime. Along with many other top ranked, quality opposition.

Joe Calzaghe only beat 3 fighters in his entire career that were in the Top 5 of the division he was fighting in.

Quite a gap there.

Not to be Captain Obvious or anything, but, that's EXACTLY what you're doing.

You don't seem to understand that fighters age differently, yet you keep using age as an argument, because you think it makes your argument stronger.

Practicing what you preach FTW.

I can't tell if he's playing dumb or is really just that dumb.

I think he's playing dumb. Simply because I don't think anyone can be that dumb.

I mean, it's been reiterated in this thread how many times?

People age differently. Especially fighters.

Like stated, on one hand, Hopkins was world class at 46 years of age. On another hand, Benitez was done before the age of 30.

Is this not common sense?

It shouldn't matter. Don't do that **** and people won't mock you when they can.

[SCEN3RY]

Okay well if you want to compare different fighters around the same weight in the same era's based on ages, which is ridiculous, than here's some.

Miguel Cotto at 30 to Manny Pacquiao at 30.......completely different stages of their careers, around the same weight class at those times.

Antonio Margarito at 32 to Floyd Mayweather at 32.......completely different stages of their career, around the same weight class at the time.

Sergio Martinez in his mid 30's to Jermian Taylor in his mid 30's right now.

Different fighters age differently, and it's not fair to compare fighters at ages, given they age differently.

No one cares about the clowning, so I don't even know what the point of this thread was. Joe just doesn't get any credit because Roy was like 8 years removed from his prime and around 5 years removed from being any good at all.

^^^^
not gonna read the next 7 pages, it's ridiculous to argue age as if it's the same for every human body.

Hell yeah I'm mad so what? I can't get mad cuz Camron and ***** had a mime about it? I'm mad about dumb ass threads and the lack of any sense by man child posters. No offense.....

[CHOWWOKKA]

**** your facebook! Whats your job sucking Mayweathers dink all day?

Man I thought this was the first thread where you weren't going to mention sucking a d1ck...

[Redd Foxx]

It has to do with you finding the time to make these useless threads. Nobody needs them and you're obviously forcing it. Why bother re hashing irrelevant events from 5 years ago? When I come on this site I want to see interesting, whats going on now type stuff. The board is over run with nonsense from people with way to much time on there hands. Take it personal. I don't even know you and I new you had no job just by the childish wasting time question you asking in this thread. I used to do the same dumb **** when I was laid off.

Funny that one of the biggest haters and most inarticulate posters on the forum would say something like this. At least he doesn't simply say, "fact" when he can't express a point.

[Mr. Fantastic]

The fact that Roy got a taste of his own medicine n people can't stomach it. Another one could be is that a white/Brit did it to a black/American.
