Where was Calzaghe when Tarver won his titles? Where was he when RJJ was at LHW? Or is it only ok for him to fight men who started at lower weights than he did?
Why didnt he call out Hopkins before his retirement?
Why was he talking about Trinidad, a natural welterweight or junior middle earlier this year?
Just like Jones is chastised for having never fought Benn, Eubank, McClellan, etc., Calzaghe will receive the same harsh criticism for not fighting an active Hopkins, Jones Jr., Tarver, Kessler, etc.
And for the love of god, Kessler started in the same division, has also unified, and isn't currently retired.
This is too legible of a post...who'd you copy & paste this one from?

You mean like when Calzcrappy price himself out against Sven Ottke? Hell, he wouldn't of even had to leave Europe for that fight. I don't have to wonder about you. I already know you know nothing about boxing. That little pick of Calzcrappy you have up (and your moronic posts) tell me your nothing but a lust filled groupie.
still cant answer that question can you? any idiot with the msot remote boxing knowlage would understand why any fighter with a belt wudn't go to germany to fight otte - fact is you slate calzaghe for not fighting kessler, when countless times hopkins and RJJ priced thems elves out even when the fight was in their back yard, and you got nothing, only childish imature insults.
At first I taught you were just acting stupid. Now I know you really are. Why do you Calzcrappy groupies always use the Hopkins situation to try and back up your boy? When in reality all it does is show your boys true lack of heart. Now I'm going explain this shit to you one more time. So call your mom over to the computer and have her read this shit to your little ass. Alright, kid? That way you can completely understand this shit. So here we go.
Hopkins did verbally accept (he hadn't signed a contract, yet) a $3 million offer to fight Calzaghe. But before he could sign a contract, Oscar De La Hoya expressed an intrest to fight Hopkins. Hopkins knew (hell, everybody knew) a De La Hoya fight was worse 10 times (if not more) than a Calzaghe fight. Not to mention the fact that his purse would be 3 times what his purse for the Calzaghe fight would be. Since no contracts were signed, Hopkins was within his right to pull out of the Calzaghe fight. Anybody with any brains would of done the same thing. But rather than just dismiss Calzaghe completely, Hopkins actually gave him an option. Double his purse and the fight can go on. 6 million was not a price out number. It was a reasonable amount. Hopkins was the undisputed middleweight champion and at the time was consider the p4p # 1 fighter. Not to mention the fact that Hopkins was the one who was going to Calzaghe's division. Not the other way around. Since Calzaghe had been crying for years that he wanted to fight a big name, this shouldn't of been much of a problem. But it was. Calzaghe (not surprisingly) decline the offer and went back to his usual crying that he can't get a big fight. That's why he's in the situation he's in now. Fighting a reality TV star, in what in his head is considered a big fight.

He's actually right. The 3 fights Hopkins took before Del La Hoya were necessary for the De La Hoya fight to happen. The Morrade Hakkar fight was a joke. But it was also a WBC mandatory. Hopkins took it to keep from being stripped. Hopkins was still under contract to Don King for one more fight. The William Joppy fight took care of that. He than fought Robert Allen to stay busy/showcase while Oscar fought for the one belt Hopkins didn't own. The WBO. In the end it all lead to Hopkins making the most money he ever made. Which was more than 3 times what his purse for the Calzaghe fight would of been. For you to say Hopkins ducked anybody is just silly. The man is not afraid of anybody. While I won't call him a coward, I really can't say the same about Calzaghe.

Hopkins did verbally accept (he hadn't signed a contract, yet) a $3 million offer to fight Calzaghe. But before he could sign a contract, Oscar De La Hoya expressed an intrest to fight Hopkins. Hopkins knew (hell, everybody knew) a De La Hoya fight was worse 10 times (if not more) than a Calzaghe fight. Not to mention the fact that his purse would be 3 times what his purse for the Calzaghe fight would be. Since no contracts were signed, Hopkins was within his right to pull out of the Calzaghe fight. Anybody with any brains would of done the same thing. But rather than just dismiss Calzaghe completely, Hopkins actually gave him an option. Double his purse and the fight can go on. 6 million was not a price out number. It was a reasonable amount. Hopkins was the undisputed middleweight champion and at the time was consider the p4p # 1 fighter. Not to mention the fact that Hopkins was the one who was going to Calzaghe's division. Not the other way around. Since Calzaghe had been crying for years that he wanted to fight a big name, this shouldn't of been much of a problem. But it was. Calzaghe (not surprisingly) decline the offer and went back to his usual crying that he can't get a big fight. That's why he's in the situation he's in now. Fighting a reality TV star, in what in his head is considered a big fight.
ahahaa ;D
Nice spin.
The Hopkins method: Educated duck.
Dress it up anyway you want Hopkins ducked him to fight easier foes for less dough. ;)
HEY fester adams,hopkins ducks no man,calzaghe is a no name,hopkins already made a name for himself,calzaghe should have taken the fight for training expenses if hes so confident of winning,if he beat hopkins then the money would come later,calzaghe dosent deserve a big payday unless he beats kessler
reason he didnt fight hopkins is because he hates flying :P

The 5 rules to Joe Calzaghe's matchmaking:
Dodge, Duck, Dive, Dip, Dodge
Calzaghe's 3 rules for type of opponent to face:
Old and shot
Inexperience and overrated
Obscure European club fighter
so why did u boy price them selvs out to fight joe then big boy? u eithe rknow S*** about boxing or are just a racist prick, my guess is both.
You mean like when Calzcrappy price himself out against Sven Ottke? Hell, he wouldn't of even had to leave Europe for that fight. I don't have to wonder about you. I already know you know nothing about boxing. That little pick of Calzcrappy you have up (and your moronic posts) tell me your nothing but a lust filled groupie.
still cant answer that question can you? any idiot with the msot remote boxing knowlage would understand why any fighter with a belt wudn't go to germany to fight otte - fact is you slate calzaghe for not fighting kessler, when countless times hopkins and RJJ priced thems elves out even when the fight was in their back yard, and you got nothing, only childish imature insults.
At first I taught you were just acting stupid. Now I know you really are. Why do you Calzcrappy groupies always use the Hopkins situation to try and back up your boy? When in reality all it does is show your boys true lack of heart. Now I'm going explain this shit to you one more time. So call your mom over to the computer and have her read this shit to your little ass. Alright, kid? That way you can completely understand this shit. So here we go.

He's actually right. The 3 fights Hopkins took before Del La Hoya were necessary for the De La Hoya fight to happen. The Morrade Hakkar fight was a joke. But it was also a WBC mandatory. Hopkins took it to keep from being stripped. Hopkins was still under contract to Don King for one more fight. The William Joppy fight took care of that. He than fought Robert Allen to stay busy/showcase while Oscar fought for the one belt Hopkins didn't own. The WBO. In the end it all lead to Hopkins making the most money he ever made. Which was more than 3 times what his purse for the Calzaghe fight would of been. For you to say Hopkins ducked anybody is just silly. The man is not afraid of anybody. While I won't call him a coward, I really can't say the same about Calzaghe.
Irrelevant.
Whats silly is to insinuate Calzaghe's a coward when it was HOPKINS, DOUBLING a career high pay day, that scuppered a fight between the two. Fact.
Don't think anyone would claim Hopkins made bad decisions. Quite the opposite. $10m to fight a little welterweight? Smart move. ;)

Where was Calzaghe when Tarver won his titles? Where was he when RJJ was at LHW? Or is it only ok for him to fight men who started at lower weights than he did?
Why didnt he call out Hopkins before his retirement?
Why was he talking about Trinidad, a natural welterweight or junior middle earlier this year?
Just like Jones is chastised for having never fought Benn, Eubank, McClellan, etc., Calzaghe will receive the same harsh criticism for not fighting an active Hopkins, Jones Jr., Tarver, Kessler, etc.
And for the love of god, Kessler started in the same division, has also unified, and isn't currently retired.
This is too legible of a post...who'd you copy & paste this one from?
I has not copy & paste this from anyone
I can see why he would think it would be
