why do people think RJJ is a bum?

[JuicyJuice]

I brought this up a while back, and no one believed me about this Calzaghe interview, because it's not up on the net anymore.

It was just after Jones beat Ruiz, and Calzaghe said he never had any true interest in fighting Roy because he thought he would have lost, and called Jones the greatest fighter in the world.

After Jones lost to Tarver, he suddnely changed his tune.

Do you remember that interview also?

"I'll never fight Joe Calzaghe cos' he's too dangerous. He's young, fast, powerful, hungry, and he's unbeaten. I can make easier money fighting easier fighters."

"I aim to prove that I am the greatest British Super Middleweight- better than Nigel Benn or Chris Eubank. I have a dream that I can take on and beat Roy Jones Jr." - Joe Calzaghe, April 1996

He's no bum. Just should have spent less time playing basketball and more time working on his fight game....

Calzaghe, who doesn't have a very good overall resume.

Then, you take Jones, who does have a very good overall resume.

Yeah, Jones' resume is so much better than Calzaghe's

I mean, Jones fought everybody there was to fight.. right?

Jones didn't miss about half-a-dozen top-class fighters at SMW between 93 and 96, neither did he miss about half-a-dozen top-class fighters at LHW between 96 and 99.

Jones has never been Lineal champion at any weight he's ever fought at, never unified any title at any weight he's ever fought at, and somehow managed to miss out on the best crop of fighters between middleweight and light-heavyweight that there has probably ever been in terms of depth. I mean, seriously, weren't just a tad bit pissed off when he was getting in there with the Glenn Wolfe's of this world instead of Gerald McClellan, Lamar Parks and co? Or defending against the Antoine Byrd's of this world instead of fighting Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Stevie Collins, Frankie Liles, Michael Nunn and co? Or defending against the Richard Frazier's of this world instead of fighting Fabrice Tiozzo, Dariusz Michalczewski, Henry Maske, Graciano Rocchigiani, Michael Nunn and co? I know I was!

Not in terms of all the top fighters he somehow managed to miss fighting. It really is a joke, sorry but it is.

'Martin WBC' posted the link once. Go to his banter website and ask him.

He wasn't a bum, he was a dissapointment to me. He had so much natural talent it's a shame he didn't do more.
