how good was joe calzaghe?
- Thread starter Mike Otherz
- Start date
typical response from somebody who doesn't know shyt about boxing
this is exactly why Floyd is the last great african american fighter and the sport is now dominated by eastern europeans, why nikkaz on worldstar on everybody getting beat down by nerdy cacs, and why Anderson Silva got KO'd by Weidman trying to be Roy Jones
Jones was far from perfect and also faced a lack of competition, Johnson and Tarver would've gave roy tough fights at any given time in this career

Your place in this sport is defined by the quality of your opposition...
Records mean absolutely nothing in boxing because you can easily pad them with weed carriers and construction workers (yea I'm talking about you LSC
)...
Calzaghe was an exceptional boxer, with solid technique, very good at making adjustments and a high workrate but unfortunately history will only remember him as a notorious can crusher who never took on a real challenge...His biggest fights were against a KO'd 3 times in his last 5 fights RJJ, Jeff never been shyt Lacy and BHop...BHop was a good win imo regardless of the fact he was old...BHop was schooling cats half his age back then...

Roy cleaned out his division..punked Bernard, Toney, Hill, and had Darius Michael-whatever the fukk his name was on the run, and this idiot was ducking him for YEARS and YEARS. People were looking forward to Trinidad CRUSHING Hopkins to move up to fight Jones for a $100 million mega fight. That's what the streets wanted in 2001. Joe Calzaghe is a complete nobody who beat old fighers...is Rocky Marciano actually better than Joe Louis because he beat him when he was a old man? Get the fukk outta here with that clown shyt..you're a fukking idiot. Get your mind right and learn how to make sense. You were just a little kid back then..you don't know what the fukk you're talking about on any level.
Joe Calzaghe isn't a Rocky Marciano, you just looking at records like a novice, I look at tape, Calzaghe is actually skilled and Rocky marciano is not
What does Roy Jones fights against other opponents have to do with him fighting Calzaghe, you obviously don't know shyt about boxing, because that means nothing
Everybody knew Trinidad had no chance against hopkins, everybody knew Trinidad was too small to fight roy jones man
Who cares if Joe Calzgahe was a nobody, he didn't win a world supermiddleweight title until 1997 and Jones was already light heavyweight champion
Roy jones fought toney in 1994, James Toney lost to montell griffin twice, stop overrating this nikka,
Like I said I would pick roy in the fight, simple because he was too big and fast for calzaghe in the 90's, it would be good fight, unlike the rubbish you are spouting
calzaghe only 3 years younger than roy, him being hesitate of the fight because there was a possibility of him losing doesn't change what he can do in the ring
Based on how slow and easy is to drop Joe Calzaghe by an ancient Hopkins
He wouldn't even hit Roy in 2000...WTF is wrong with you. You're taking your silly trolling gimmick too far, kiddo.

It was a flash KD both times and then he made adjustments do you know anything about boxing
also Calzaghe was old too, you acting like he was 29 fighting or something
He beat Roy up, even though Roy got KO'd but less than steller guys it was always one shot, nobody ever beat him up except for Calzaghe he embarrassed his ass period, if Roy was that far gone he never should've got in the ring because he made an ass of himself
Hopkins at 50 against Kovalev, who's killed two men in the ring didn't take much of a beating as jones did to Calzaghe
Roy's defense isn't great at all
Roy got touched more times think you people think, he could over power most of his opponents but calzaghe is good at using angles and adjustments, he wouldn't just steam roll him like he did Griffen in the rematch, you don't know what you are talking about
Here's what Calzaghe has to say on the matter

Post the entire article
what does this have to do with it being an easy fight for roy
he didn't want to fight him because he could possible lose, not that Roy would just steam roll him
So I guess Roy was scared of these guys
