Calzaghe: "pavlik Was Overrated, Overhyped And Hadn't Done Anything In His Career"

[leftylee]

calzaghe is a prik, it dodged so many fighters its unreal. he wants to be undefeated like marciano. but every one knows the main reason rocky was undefeated was because he was with the mob and they influenced fights. mayweather is the only real undefeated genius. joe can fight and hes a great boxer but come on, who would you want to be if you were a superstar boxer..floyd, roy and bernard are the G.O.A.TS

Who has Joe Calzaghe ducked ?

Glen Johnson
Carl Froch

LOL.

He was due to fight Johnson after he fought Shieka, Shieka won so Joe battered him in 3rds.

As for Froch you are kidding!! the guy is due to have his biggest fight against Jean Pascal.

Do one mate.

Calzaghe calling another fighter overrated?! Now that's funny...coming from one of the MOST overrated fighters in history. If he only was fighting a prime Roy Jones...he would be exposed for the over hyped fighter he is.

[Tysonbruno]

According to Frank warren he has pulled out of about 10 fights he lined up for him warren wouldn't say it if it weren't true being they are in a legal battle he wouldn't want Calzaghe doing him over lies.

[Mar]

Everyone that looses when favored is not overrated, very very few thought the fight would go the way it did. Joe himself was probably on of the most relived people on the planet saturday night, b-hop took the chance he wasn't willing to. He should be careful what he says....he himself is less than a month away from possibly having all this discussion being how overrated he is.....he's talking like beating roy is already in the bag, i can only imagine this place if he looses.

Saying Calzaghe DUCKED Johnson is just silly.

He pulled out injured. Which turned out to be the BEST thing that EVER happened to Johnson. He wouldn't have made his name by sparking out Roy.. and subsequently beating Tarver.

They were being lined up to meet AGAIN around 2006.. But Clinton Woods beat Johnson scuppering it.

One question Fenster im sure i remember that the winner of the 3rd Clinton Woods vs Glen Johnson fight. Was supposed get a shot against Joe Calzaghe, why did that not happen ?

Think there were a few reasons.. mainly though probably because in would have meant Warren and Hobson (the promoters who were slagging eachother off in the press constantly) would have to work together to make it happen.

[imp]

Exactly! why did he fight peter manfredo! when are you calzaghe lovers going to realise that joe will always have a big question mark over his career. he could possibly redeem himself a bit by fighting chad after jones and the possibly carl froch. he needs some more names to make himself live up to what he thinks he is.
everyone that knows anything about boxing knowsyou could not touch roy in his prime. Roys legs are gone now and he is way to gunshy to to win this fight. but i pray to god that he wins and wins in style.
Dont get me wrong I think joe is a great fighter butdont let the undefeated thing fool you son..its b'llocks.

[ICB]

Another thing i think is Joe Calzaghe should actually watch was he is saying, i think RJJ has a decent chance against Joe Calzaghe. And if Joe Calzaghe loses to RJJ the amount threads saying the exact samething about Kelly Pavlik, will be reversed onto Joe Calzaghe.

Im not liking Joe Calzaghe's attitude regarding this fight one bit, he is talking like its already formality that he will beat RJJ. When thats not the case, RJJ is still faster than Joe Calzaghe. And he is the naturally bigger man, i think Joe Calzaghe should be silent until he beats RJJ.

Froch has been calling Calzaghe out for years. Yet Calzaghe avoids him for the great Contender bum Peter Manfredo Jr As for Johnson he's ducked him like 3 times.

I'm a big Carl Froch fan but the truth is as of yet he has done nothing to warrent a fight with Calzaghe.

After beating Jeff Lacy Joe quite rightly wanted to make a big name for himself in America and get the mega fights over there.

To that end he took a fight with Peter Manfredo, the most popular fighter on the Contender and well known both in the US and the UK. It may have been a mismatch but as a way of getting the attention of casual American fans it obviously made smart business sense.

He then had a stay busy fight with Sakio Bika, who was coming off an aborted title shot against Marcus Beyer before challening the undefeated and double champion Mikkel Kessler in a massive and highly risky unification fight.

Finally after winning that he was a big enough name to get his mega fights and has now fought B Hop and Roy Jones Jr in successive fights.


Please tell me, all those who think he's ducking Froch, when would it have made sense to fight him?

Froch has never been on the radar for Joe Calzaghe and fo good reason.

He's completely unproven, completely unknown, has never even been in a big fight let alone won one, he offers nothing in terms of money, world titles, stateside appeal or resume so in short why the fuck would Joe have ever fought him?

[Spicoli]

I actually like Calzaghe,Topped Hopkins legit.....but here he sounds like an attention deprived toddler wearing a soggy diaper,Get em a set of plastic keys already !!!Kelly and such apparently under his skin....way to smack a guy when he's on the mat Joe.That being said...I think he will beat Jones jr.

edit,Not overrated.Two solid wins over Taylor.He was hyped up obnoxiously though.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Jones has to be the favorite against calzaghe. I'm a fan of both joe and roy. They are both old and past it, but i'll still pick roy as the one to beat.
