I've seen Andrade fight, I voted Champ cuz I know he could gret his hands on one. What I'm not sure on is if he can hang on to it. I just don't see it in him hes heavy handed and brings the fight to you. IMO I don't see much skill as far as footwork, waist movement, fast hands, He doesnt attack the body.
On another note he does seems more motivated since Wayne been with him.
ARe you serious? Green and Manfredo...... Yeah ok, it's Calzaghe's fault he isn't facing one of those two.... not because they probably didn't want anything to do with Calzaghe. You honestly think JOe would have gone out his way to avoid either of those 2?? Especially Manfredo, that's exactly the kind of fight he would want.. The Contender ::**.. Your attempt to back up your accusations just proves you have no point.Quote:

Or you going to tell me that Bika is that good?Quote:

Star my dear, Sven Ottke only scored 6 ko's in his career. 6! That's in over 30 fights! One less and I could count them on one hand. And Mundine was one of them. That's one of those things you can't live down. No matter what. Kind of like Tua-Ruiz. Not only that, Wright improved since that fight. Mundine hasn't. Kessler whipped his ass and that Puerto Rican Siaca I think his name is also beat him. In his last fight he looked scared of Danny Green. And this after running his mouth that he was going to knock Green out early. I ain't no Calzaghe fan. I think his next opponent is garbage. But Mundine ain't much better.Quote:

Calzaghe: I'll fight Hopkins anywhere
Joe Calzaghe, the World Boxing Organisation super-middleweight champion, is prepared to travel to the United States to face the world's No1 middleweight Bernard Hopkins in what is seen as a career-defining fight for the undefeated Welshman.
"This is the fight I have wanted above all others for the last few years," he said, "and it is the one the boxing world wants."
Since Calzaghe's two-round win over the highly rated Byron Mitchell in Cardiff on Saturday, Hopkins, 38, has said he would be prepared step up to super-middleweight and face him, but only if the fight takes place before the end of next January and only if it is in the US.
"I have no problems taking the fight on his territory," said the 31-year-old Calzaghe. "My message to him is: 'You want it, you got it.' He can have it anywhere and any time."
Hopkins' promoter Don King and Calzaghe's backer Frank Warren reached agreement for a fight last year, and the US television station Showtime was prepared to underwrite the event. But after a $3m (£1.8m) payday had been agreed, the fight fell through when Hopkins doubled his purse demands.
Warren has confirmed he is trying to reopen negotiations. "But he has had opportunities to make money since [beating Felix] Trinidad [in 2001] and has walked away. He is the only fighter I know who seems hell-bent on going from Park Lane to Brick Lane."
Calzaghe underlined his determination to get the fight, laying down a challenge to Hopkins. "Don't find an excuse to let our fight slip away," he said. "I have taken up your challenge to face you in America, so honour your words."

and this
Calzaghe knocked back by Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins has again rejected the offer of a multi-million-dollar fight against the undefeated World Boxing Organisation super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, and says he will next face his fellow American William Joppy instead.
Calzaghe, 31, had hoped for what he regards as a career-defining contest against Hopkins, the world's No1 middleweight, after his recent spectacular two-round victory over Byron Mitchell. But Hopkins has made it clear he will pursue Joppy, an easier option, though a date for the fight has not yet been announced.
More worryingly for Calzaghe and his promoter Frank Warren, Hopkins has indicated he might be prepared to travel to Germany in December for a showdown with Calzaghe's super-middleweight rival, the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association champion Sven Ottke.
Warren has spoken repeatedly of his desire to stage Calzaghe-Hopkins at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and believed he had a deal for the fight last year before Hopkins priced himself out of the contest by doubling his demands.
Nevertheless Warren has been in more discussions with Hopkins's promoter Don King and says he remains optimistic the 38-year-old American will face Calzaghe after he picks up his expected victory against Joppy. But King has also spoken with Ottke's promoter Wilfred Sauerland and it seems more than likely Hopkins regards Ottke as a softer, well-paid option than the intimidating Welshman.

People can slag Calzaghe and his level of opposition all they want but there's nothing he can do about if fighters are not willing to face him ;)
The reason the fights didn't go through is because: a) they where bluffs by promoters b) they fell through (Tarver anybody?...) or C) by the Time Joe made his plans other fighters where busy.Quote:

By the way you where shit in the sack, I didn't think it was possible for an errect dick to be smaller than the owner's pubic hair, but you're the proof.

Lol!! Calzaghe would destroy him. ;)Quote:

I may have only heard of Anthony Mundine more then I have seen him in that clip and some highlights of the fight he had with Echols. But respect is where respect is due. I don't think Bika beat anyone as "good" as Danny Green. Who I know had Beyer beaten and almost out. Whether Kessler can do that or not is a mystery.Quote:

Hasn't Mundine been talking about moving to 160. ???
