Jones said HIM SELF calzaghe was to high risk for the gain he would have of beating him...
wtf are you on about toney for, he was fighting for his cruiserweight before joe had even beaten eubank, shit do you know anything or do you just take what the rest of the idiots post as gospal?
get your own opinion by doing your own reasearch, i'm all up for a good debate and all but when people who don't know their ass from their elbow spout complete crap that are clueless about because they don;t like a fighter just pisses me off.
seanie done it about hopkins and you do it about calzaghe.
One of the biggest reasons calzaghe hasn';t had the big fights up untill now is lack of Hbo exposuer, they provide the money most of the time ot make the big fights.
At one point they wanted ot build him up to beat the then king RJJ. his fight with Reid detered them because it was ugly, had ot fight with one hand for most of it and ended in a bs SD. He started putting on some good shows and got their interest again, but great timing for him the decided to air a fight of him when he was going through his divorce and wasn;t him self, and basicaly lost all interest untill he destroyed lacy.
Maybe if he had more luck and they kept interest he could of had the jones fight, maybe if hopkins would kept to his word after the trinidad fight he would of been where he is now in 2001
