Wud of looked as big a fool as you then wudn't he? coz jones was offerd over 5 mill to fight calzaghe IN THE US
I think jones is in the top 10 or 15 greatest fighters ever, the guy done stuff in the ring, against good figters that you wudn't thinkpossible or most fighter even dare try. If he had retired after beating ruiz more people would consider him an ATG! but 'coz he lost a few (way past his prime!) he goes down a notch or two. Jones could of stayed in a talentless devision like hopkins did, unify it and beat up lower weight class fighters like hopkins did and make 20 title defenses, but he was champion in 4 weights, unifiying LH beating almost the best at every weight.
ruiz was pretty highly regarded at the time jones fought him - borring annoying, hated what ever but he was fairly highly regarded as a fighter. Eubank, didn't he make it clear he didn't want to fight Jones? not certain about been, and although i wud of loved to see jones fight calzaghe, i don't think joe was a big enough name then. Hbo were gunna try build calzaghe up to fight jones at some point, but after a bad scrappy lookin fight with reid 'coz of a broken hand they ditch that idea, joens was already a god at Lh and a 3 weight champ when warren was trying to get the fight done, but calzaghe held the WBO belt and wasn't to big a name outside of europe so what reason really was there for joens to fight him? not as i all the us were talking about how great clzaghe was and how good a fight it would be.
Not to many people know about the 5 million that was offered to Roy Jones for a fight with Calzaghe in the US, You are correct. It was offered. Jones declined it. Why did Jones decline it ? Because Calzaghe's had the F****** nerve to ask for 6 million. That's why. Calzcrappy was actually stupid enough to believe he was Jones equal. And since he was the one traveling, he felt he deserved the higher pay. I'm surprised Jones didn't pull a rib cage muscle laughing at his dumb a**. And you knows it's true. That's why you never mention the reason why Jones declined it when they asked you. Calzaghe never wanted the Jones fight. He made a stupid, unreasonable offer just to say he made an offer. Thing was it was such a foolish offer that nobody even acknowledged it. That's why you rarely hear about it. I'm surprise your were stupid enough to even bring it up. Damn, it's getting harder and harder to defend Calzcrappy, huh?

What the fuck happened? How your sc's get so low? Looks like I got a lot of work to do. Number 10. But I take no pleasure in this one. It's just something that has to be done.

Like I said, I took no pleasure in this one. It's just no right for the man known as Wack to have such a low sc count. It gives the impression that he don't post a lot of nonsence. And we both know that's not true. Right, buddy? :thumb: This tall glass of E & J is for you. :drinker:
