theres no way he won it. Prime, damn good champion (JC) versus ageing excellent champion, theres only one way it will go, the older guy hold his own and wins early rounds via better ability, the younger guy takes control later on through youthful fitness.
I think you USA guys should be happy that your fighter is definitely the better boxer and would have won prime 4 prime and likely would have knocked out Joe Calzaghe, but took the fight WAY too late in their career (ie when they should have been retired for at least half a decade) to win it.
I dont think you can call a boxer a coward for taking easy fights. Anyone who gets in the ring is not a coward, and anyone who puts in the training to keep winning, even agaisnt crap fighters for a whole decade the way Joe did, still deserves respect. Julio Cesar Chavez might have fought bums forever but he still but the graft in.
Sven Ottke ducked Joe for a long time, but I wouldnt call him a coward, merely he recognised his limitations, just like Joe knew RJJ was better than him. Mans gotta know his limitations, as the Spirit of the West once said. For that reason no one can legitemately call Sven Ottke or JC an ATG, but RJJ certainly is.
