By Dave Sholler - When it comes to boxing, Welshman Joe Calzaghe has it all. Undefeated in 45 professional bouts, the former undisputed super middleweight champion has titles, money, fame, and consideration as one of the best fighters of the past decade. Having achieved so much in his career, the 36 years old Cardiff, Wales native admits that he doesn’t have much left to prove in the ring. Still, there is one more feat that Calzaghe would like to accomplish. Before he closes his career, Calzaghe wants to beat a man deemed by many as one of best fighters of all-time. Having already defeated future Hall-of- Famer Bernard Hopkins in his last bout in April, Calzaghe hopes to beat former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. to seal his career. [details]

Truth
First off this fool is not one of the all time greats in boxing. He is a good fighter and perhaps one of Britain's best lets leave it at that and get off his nuts for a minute. Many people including myself and in Europe believe he lost that fight with Hopkins. Hopkins knocked him out, landed the harder, cleaner, and more effective punches. Displayed great defense and ring generalship. All Joe did was slap puch like some angry broad. he never landed flush on Hopkins. I mean who has? He has been a protected fighter most of his career. To give him more credit after Hopkins destroyed Pavlik is criminal! He ducked Pavlik for years and even recently took the fight with a washed up Roy over Pavlik in his prime. Look he wants the money that roy brings to the table but money doesn't buy credibility. Just a few months ago he was trashing Roy saying he was washed up and only a shadow of the boxer he use to be. Now Joe is holding Roy's nuts like he is still one of the greatest. Let's be real man and stop hyping this good boxer into one of the all time greats.Comment

I must compliment you on your post.......I've NEVER seen one like it.Originally posted by darkman View Post
The supreme idiocies, the monstrous untruths, the abysmal ignorance, not only of boxing, but of any of the ancillary appendages leave me speechless........AND THAT'S NOT EASY TO DO.........
With my customary moderate approach, {and similiar to the story of Abraham and Lot and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, where he tries to find even 10 good men, then 5, then 1, etc etc) I tried to find even just ONE LITTLE thing for your credit as a boxing poster, but I just couldb't. This nearly broke my bloody {5 letters} heart.
To put it bluntly, and without using any 4 letter words, It was the biggest bunch of damned (6 letters) nonsense I've seen on these pages that I can recall. And I have a very good memory..............Comment

Lol, well he did look pretty Winkyish during the Trinidad fight. The new Roy has learned to keep his hands up since the footspeed and reflexes are gone.Originally posted by Silencers View PostComment
