    Roy in his prime was going the distance with David Telesco, Lou Del Valle and Reggie Johnson so I don't know where this idea that he'd destroy Calzaghe easily came from.

    I guess it depends what PEDs he was on

      But comfortably beat all. Lets just remember the likes of who Joe has been the distance with, Evans Ashira, Rick Thornberry and David Starie

          Calzaghe is so **** you made a thread about him 5 years after his last fight and dedicated your signature to him.

          What a champ you are TS!

            Alot of people dont like calzahge but i like the guy...

            yes he may have had an easier schedule and was protected alot in his career,,

            But when it was go-time, joe never backed down...

            If he was a paper champ, a guy like Lacy or kessler would have beat him and Joe beat them down, especially lacy, he was never the same after joe beat him up..

            People say kessler was green but that is bullcrap.. Kessler had 2 belts at the time and had roughly 40 fights....

            Joe also beat hopkins which is not an easy task to do...

            In the end the guy retired as a two weight class lineal champ....
            with wins over eubanks, kessler, lacy, hopkins, bika and jones.....
            Not to shabby...
            And i have respect for him because he didnt blow all his money and stayed retired...

            not too many fighters have ever become lineal champ in 2 divisions.....

                My agenda is clear: the truth. I don't care about anything else.

                Calzaghe went the distance with David Starie in probably one of the worst British championship fights of modern times. And he went the distance with Robbie Reid in a fight which could've went either way. Just respect the cream of the crop, Calzaghe wasnt in it.

                  RJJ went on to defeat an ATG in Tito and stopped a guy that many said was the best 168 lbs fighter in the world and both of these huge wins were post Calzaghe.

                  Do you deny this?

                    Hopkins has faced murderer's row, to imply he ducked Calzaghe when he was in his prime but then take the fight at 43-years-old is ironic, is it not?

                      lol Tito was 168 years old. God you're reaching, dude, you obviously know nothing about Jones if you think the guy that was coming off Ko's to Johnson and Tarver was anything like the same guy that annihilated Toney. Please stop talking now ... if you post in this thread again the only conclusion to come to is you are gay for Joe Calzaghe and want to have his babies ... actually ... please post again
