Fair is fair people.

Recognize talent, ability, & the circumstances.

If you want to say that kind of S*** about Calzaghe's opponents...you need to be grown up's & also look at some of our American champions resumes.

They aint sparklin with every bout either & a lot of the fighters that Joe beat easily were decent fighters when he beat them...just like our American champions.

40 wins is 40 wins...just like with Jones, Mayweather, & Hopkins.

Fair is fair. Call it like it is.
Wacks I agree and am not criticizing JC for not Globetrodding my point is the same principle applies to any fighter really

D,C,B,A class fighters exist whether you fight in England, US, Germany, Russia, Egypt or The Friggin sarangetty Plains...LOL but seriously I dont know if you were admonishing me about how to percieve JC's resume...I am with you, Be fair Don't decorate one fighter and trash another, without looking past popularity and appeal to see what a fighter has truly accompolished....My 1st Boss in the car business used to say to me" The facts are the Facts Jack, the numbers don't lie"

My assesment of Calzaghe and Mayweather was fair and accurate and validates your points..My Wacky intoxicated friend
I agree with alot of points made here, and yours too JT Rock

It would be interesting to know why he has now gone with HBO, when Warren seemed to have a understanding with Showtime.

Talk is of Joe moving up to lightheavy to challenge Clinton Woods, dont know how concerete this is though. He was ringside at the Woods Johnson fight and he was asked after if he fancied it, to which he answered yes. Only problem Joe may have is if HBO would want a Calzaghe Woods fight

Warren is one of the best at milking his fighters. I would suggest it has more to do with Warrens matchmaking than Joe not being ambitious enough to conquer the US.
