Joe Calzaghe Sounds Off on Roy Jones, Hopkins, Pavlik

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If you thought Joe Calzaghe was done with his verbal venom, he was just getting warmed up. Bernard Hopkins' dominating win over Kelly Pavlik, which took place last Saturday, has lit a fight under Calzaghe and he's spewing plenty of verbals jabs at everyone in sight. For months, he took a lot of heat from fans and the boxing media. They said he beat an old, washed up version of Hopkins back in April. They said he was ducking the challenge of Pavlik. According to Calzaghe, Hopkins' win vindicates him fully, and the only thing on his mind is to kick the ass of Roy Jones Jr. on November 8 at New York's Madison Square Garden. [details]

He is right. What else is there to say? It's not really possible to argue with it.

That last line is hilarious. Usually Joe's jokes are pretty lame but that last one was a good zinger. He gets the last laugh even if he had nothing to do with it. Reminds me of the Floyd & Cotto fans who laughed at Margarito because Williams beat him.

can he please just shutup. I mean the first thing i thought when pavlik got beat was "damn, were never going to hear the end of it from Calzaghe"

were going to hear this same story recycled at least 10 more times before the Roy Jones fight.

"At the end of the day I beat Lacy, Kessler, Pavil"

And he never heard the end of it from people asking why he wasnt fighting Pavlik. He was proved right.

Just because Hopkins beat Pavlik does NOT mean Calzaghe would

Just because Hopkins beat Pavlik does NOT mean Calzaghe would. Hopkins has destroyed fighters (Pavlik, Tarver) who have beaten fighters who have beaten Hopkins (Taylor I & II, Roy Jones Jr). It doesn't mean that because Hopkins beat him that Calzaghe can. Tarver beat Jones twice yet Hopkins dominated Tarver. Pavlik beat Taylor twice yet Hopkins dominated Pavlik. The one thing these fighters have in common though is that they fought eachother and didnt talk about it (Calzaghe). Dont talk about it.. be about it. Just because you beat a fighter doesnt mean you can beat everybody he beat. The only way to prove that is in the ring. Thats why you (Calzaghe) are not a legend. You look for validation of your own accomplishments from what somebody else does instead of fighting them all. When you retire you cant say you "fought them all" like a legend does.
