Roy Jones Jr. The ducks he made at supermiddleweight.

[IMDAZED]

What was the context in which Joe said that in 2003? For all I know he could have said that in an article that was to praise RJJ. Joe was and is a good guy.

After RJJ had beaten Ruiz it was highly unlikely that he would ever fight Calzaghe so I'm pretty sure that Joe, or any other world class fighter for that matter, would say that they deliberately would duck another world class fighter.

It was during a one on one interview - which I read when it came out. Please note that Curtis McCormick used to cover Calzaghe extensively. June 28, 2003. It's been posted on here many times but I'm too lazy to do a search. The full article is just Joe talking about his career. And what he said about Jones was what he said. No "out of context" at all. But Smash and co are said so they'd rather go with his other quotes they like better

Wow. I was not JOKING about that reality distortion bubble was I? Even Nelson has one.

BOUNCES RIGHT OFF.

Are you guys really looking for context? That quote was in the Ring as well. Just fyi.

[IMDAZED]

Oh great, another quote, here we go. Curtis McCormick from boxing talk chirps in now. Well, ive seen calzaghe interviewed telling people he wanted jones and 40,000 people in wales and he was gutted he couldnt get it. So there you go. He obviously wasnt prepared to travel to fight jones but wanted him at home.

You can't make this stuff up!

My problem is this and I wish one Joe fan would think about this:

What did TARVER DO to fight Roy? He stepped up beat everyone Roy beat chased him down, hounded him, chased him at press conferences beat the piss out of all contenders and became a #1. Willing to sign the contract on any terms to fight Roy (and even then Roy made concession to HIM coming down to lhw to fight him).


What did Joe do? Meekly mention him for a long time. Sit on his trinket WBO belt for 10 years fighting fringe contenders in the Welsh National Ice Rink. Everyone once in a while meekly talking trash about Jones or Hopkins. Then in other interviews expressing that he knew he'd get beat, wanted to get paid to get beat, or was in awe of a guy like Jones. I love how oh about 2006-7 Joe says Jones is washed up and not worth fighting (correct statement seeing as he's been CRUSHED twice already and nearly killed in the ring by Tarver and Johnson AND Retired) but later on changes his story, declares himself a LEGEND KILLER and says "Roy didn't want to fight me ever".


Tarver got it done. Joe didn't. Frank Warren even says Joe did not trust in his own abilities nor did Joe's team. Yeah I'm sure Roy was running scared from the Ice Rink Champion.

You seem to be obsessed with tarver. Do you have a nice BIG picture of him on your wall LOL, everyone does things differently you muppet, Jones was at LHW, calzaghe eventually got what he wanted, unification bouts at SMW plus he eventually got jones too, whos a smart boy then, joe is

[daggum]

calzaghe was scared of flying hahahaha. he was finally cured when hopkins and jones turned into old men. what courage.

[THE REED]

Damn I have been entertained all day.

Wow. Way to miss my point. Everyone does things different? No. It's boxing. You get the fight done if you really want it. Or you just TALK. Your heros like to talk a lot but not do anything.

No I'm not obsessed with Tarver. I'm just showing you Tarver had guts and courage and WANTED to fight Jones, unlike your heros Collins and Calzaghe HIDING in their own backyards. I ****ing hate Tarver but I have to give him that.


Yeah Joe " got" Jones when Jones was old and shot AFTER he said Jones was TOO SHOT to fight.

But you'll forget that won't you "muppet". He's smart? Yeah. Cowardly too.

he is smart. he waited till 2 overhyped scrubs got their grubby little mitts on world titles. then he beat them and pretended that was a great accomplishment. then he "beat" hopkins(a blown up middleweight) by controversial decision and beat roy jones who can't take 1 solid punch without going down into a break dance routine. he's so smart he fooled you into thinking that's a great career.
