Another thing that pisses me off is Jones' people sent Calzaghe and Warren a contract to fight in 2001 and it was immediately refused. To me that shows he never thought he could beat Jones when he was somewhere near his prime. I mean even if the contract was shite financially, if he would have beat Jones that would have set up huge paydays anyway. Oh well at least he can have a go now he's almost 40. Disgrace!
And you know that how? Do you have proof? a link? a legitimate statement that was on record?

Who in the states even gave a shit about Joe Calzaghe in 2001?

I don't buy that shit for a second. Prove me wrong I'll give you my 100% full credit for the info and i'll rep you as much as I can for a year.
Joe Calzaghe - "I've Been Listening To Roy Jones Junior Bad-Mouth Me For About Six Or Seven Years!"

In that article it says they were supposed to fight in 01.
Here's another. Judging by the six or seven year comment by Joe, I'd say you should do your homework before jumping at people.
It's pretty obvious "Roy" cared about Calzaghe in 2001.. he's in the states, no?

This is your proof?

In terms of Joe bad mouthing people, very easy to take the selective snippets out of context. Especially the Jones comments as it is clearly hype as they are way to friendly considering a fight is on the way. If you want to see what he actually says just whatch the interview on the BBC website, all he does is answer each question asked honestly, he doesn't go all gangsta like some other fighters, he's actually quite relaxed, and isn't what he says about Pavlik 100% on the money? that he is a very good fighter but not a great and that he's one-dimensional-- seems to me if he's any more flattering he'd be lying.
