If Cazlaghe beat Kessler next the mongs would claim Kessler was a hyped up nobody aka Lacy..."wait until he fights a Hopkins or Jones"

If Cazlaghe beat Hopkins or Jones the mongs would say they were old and past their best..."wait until he fights a live body like Winky or Taylor"

If Calzaghe beat Winky or Taylor the mongs would say they were to small......so it goes.
That's cuz it's true. Hopkins and Jones are nowhere near there primes. Why the sudden urge to fight them now (after Hopkins retired) as oppose to years ago? Taylor and Wright are both naturally smaller fighters. That ain't some made up shit. It's true. Still a win over Wright, would be impressive in my view. Taylor not as much since I think he still needs a lot of work. Kessler? There ain't no excuse. Kessler is in his prime right now. He's fought over 35 times. This ain't Lacy and his barely 20 fights. He's got like 5 or 6 former champions on his resume. He's somebody. If Calzaghe beats him, than he can't be knocked. I'll give him credit. Hell, if he beats Kessler I'll never bad mouth Calzaghe again. And I'm talking about a real win. Not one of those "Kessler had him down 3 times, but lost cuz Calzaghe claimed he couldn't continue cuz of a suppose rabbit punch." Or "Kessler beat his ass for 12, but lost cuz they were fighting in Joe's back yard." A real win.
Hopkins agreed to fight Calzaghe a few years ago before his (Hopkins) arsehole went.

Anyway, not sure you're the best person to judge a fighter, son, especially where Calzaghe is concerned...You even thought Bika would knock him out....hahaha
All your link says is he'll come to the US to fight Hopkins. So what? He's been saying for years that he'll travel. But for some reason, he never does. And yeah, I put some virtual money on killer's books backing Bika. Big deal. Look at my past posts and you'll see I always taught of Bika as the bum he is.
I'm helping you out son. In future you wont embarrass yourself asking stupid questions like "why the sudden urge to fight them now as oppose to years ago?" ....before you embark on a subject do a little research first otherwise the big boys will make you look silly. Hope this helps.

You always thought Bika was a bum? That was my point, you thought Calzaghe was going to get beat by a bum, so what do think of Calzaghe? You do realise Calzaghe is in, or around, almost all knowledgeable boxing persons top 10 P4P lists? I'm sure I dont have to tell you why that is, so if you can't recognise Calzaghes talents then I think maybe your judgement, as far as boxing is concerned, is pretty poor.

Memphis nicely answered your next MONGS LOGIC post. You need to check your dates, son.
This is what happens when one doesn't really follow boxing and instead goes by other people's opinion as oppose to there owns. They make fools of themselves, like this clown. I never once said Calzaghe was talentless. Just that he hadn't fought great opposition, was overrated and scared to fight any where else but home. Him being talentless has never been posted by me. And there is no need for me to check my dates, cuz there's nothing wrong with them. When the De La Hoya fight was brought up, Hopkins was in talks with Calzaghe. It don't take a genius to realize that fighting De La Hoya (20 million) was a lot more profitable than fighting Calzaghe (3 million). In order for the De La Hoya fight to come off 3 things needed happen. 1. Hopkins needed to stay unified champion. Which means he had to fight his WBC mandatory (something Calzaghe knows something about) to keep from being stripped. Morrade Hakkar was the unworthy fighter. 2. Hopkins needed to fight one more fight for Don King to complete his contract. William Joppy was the fight. 3. Than came the build up fights. Hopkins fought Robert Allen, while Oscar took on Felix Strum. There you go. Next time try thinking for yourself instead of going off what other people think.
