    I bet if you made a nonappreciation thread for Joe you'd get a ton more responses.

        I wouldn't do that because im not a #hater and #loser.

        I made this thread because Joe deserves to be admired and respected.

        46-0. The numbers don't lie.

          start a Joe Calzaghe accurate assessment thread, theres an idea.


          start something like -

          pros - southpaw advantage, good handspeed, ultrafit, good chin and recovery, exceptionally well managed to keep a zilch defeat record, captured 2 other belts, defended versus 2 prime good opponents. Largely clean fighting style when not fighting decent opps.

          cons -weak power, poor accuracy, happy to con fans into paying for often terrible opposition, fights fixed for early stoppages, only defended wbo title and avoided major bodies defences, disrespectful, arrogant, wife cheater.

              In the words of Max Kellerman, "Calzaghe BLATANTLY ducked Glen Johnson" ...

              He ducked Jones from 97 until the Tarver travesty and fall of Roy circa 02/03. There was a 5 year period in which he could've chased down a career defining fight with Jones like Hatton did with Mayweather. He issued a statement him which he said he didn't want to risk it.

              He also ducked Pavlik, Winky, Taylor, prime Hopkins, Glen Johnson.

              Charlatan.
              point me to the article where jones said he wanted to fight Joe in 97 to 03.

                    because Joe isn't Roy's Siamese twin.

                    If they both commit felonies they both gotta pay the piper.
