A case in point is Antonio Margarito.Great athlete, great boxer, but hasnt achieved enough to be calling out the number one guy in the sport yet. All he can do in the meantime is stay active yet he seems to fight about 1.5 times a year. Why not fight everyone, the best available and in time guys cant dodge u. Fight 5 times a year.

Joe Calzaghe is another. Wants the big money, and gets a bit cos british fight fans would watch him fight me, but who is he to call out Taylor and Hopkins when he hasnt fought a top guy since eubank? He should have been fighting the top guys available for the last ten years.

Vic Darchinyan is similiar also, he talks up a big fight but fights bums.

just think some guys should shut up and let impressive wins do the talking...

I'm annoyed at JC for not fighting top guys like he said he would, but you can't say he's fought bums since Eubank. Despite the fact Calzaghe destroyed him, Jeff Lacy was seen as the future of the sport before Joe ruined him. Joe is a great fighter, it's just his reluctance to prove it that pisses people off. You can't say he hasn't earned those fights you speak of though, the only way to become a name is to beat a name, and Joe has been champion for long enough and ruled his division for long enough to fight for another big pay day. I just wish that rather than talking about making a super fight, he'd actually fucking make it. I'd like to see him fight Roy Jones. I know people say he's shot, but it'd be a great fight.
