Am I the only person who believes that Joe Calzaghe is an above average boxer at best? The line "always some angle to hang onto the title longer than I should have had it", from Rocky springs to mind!
Look at his record, where is Roy Jones, where is Glen Johnson? Nigel Benn would have destroyed him inside 3 rounds! And Benn fought the best that the division had to offer - he didn't duck anyone!
As for Calzaghe requesting a bout with Bernard Hopkins, surely this demonstrates the lengths that is he prepared to go to in order to hold onto the title the easy way - and avoid any potential defeats!
Yea, you could argue that Kessler also has no great names on his record, but at least he's prepared to box Calzaghe! As for the Lacy bout, Lacy was a middle weight at best! Gone are the days of Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran, at least they had the courage to fight each, and didn't run from anyone!
