    Wow, Joe Calzaghe is callling out James Toney to fight at Super Middleweight

    got this from fight newz

    "WBO/IBF super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe says he wants to fight James Toney, who once held Calzaghe's 168lb title. Toney is now fighting as a heavyweight and weighed 237 lbs. for Saturday's draw with Hasim Rahman. "He's welcome to come back down to super-middle and challenge for his old title - which at least I can proudly fit around my waist - but I don't think anyone can drag him out of his training camp at McDonalds and get him into serious training in a boxing gym," said Calzaghe. "I would love to kick his arse now because I just missed out on doing it in the 90's when I was coming through but I'm sure as a young kid I would still have knocked him about. He should lose the flab and fight me because he is still a name in the sport and it would look great on my record next to a W and KO. Instead of doing weights with Twinkie bars and drinking Kool Aid he should get onto the salad, pasta and water and whip himself into shape because he'd need to be against me."

    man, This is a joke. Theres no way Toney would ever make super middleweight and Calzaghe knows that. AT least call him out at cruiser or something so theres some credibility. Anyway Calzaghes fast hands and flurry of punches would be interesting vs toney

      who's that on your sig, super zab?

      I dont think this will happen, its clearly unrealistic. Joe's just trying to get more publicity now he's the man. I'd love to see it if it did happen though!

              I have a lot of respect for Calz but that call out is cowardly. He knows there is no chance of Toney Coming down and decides to call him out. I mean be for real, why waste time calling out Toney? I never heard him call out any of the other top guys in such a disrespectful manner before but now all of a sudden he wants to call out JT for super middle when JT is over weight even for a HW? Come on no cred for this call out.

                I pity anybody who thinks this he's serious, getting James to drop 70 lb's would be mission impossible, seriously, if Freddy Roach can't get James to drop weight, Calzaghe certainly has no chance.

                  basically it's a "safe" call out
