Ok Calzaghe Haters What Does He Need To Do In Jones Fight To Get Respect!

[JT Rock]

The title could have been a bit less abrasive IMO. I think most real boxing fans respect Joe.

Simaltaneous 2 division recognized Ring Champ

Undefeated

Over 10 year champion

Not to mention top 5 PFP fighter.

Id say there is a lot to be respected there

[Dark Lord Al]

I wont respect him ever , beating a 39 year old Jones who Tarver and Johnson have KOED , and a 43 year old hopkins dont make a career.

If i was in a burning building with no escape than to be helped by calzaghe then i would rather burn. I HATE HIM MORE THAN MOST CAN HATE ANYTHING

I'm the same as the Dark one here i hate the guy how true boxing fans like his style is beyond me.

[BIG H]

He can't do anyhting to gain respect, that is absolutely apparent. Everybody said he had to fight Lacy, he did it, everybody said he had to fight Kessler he did it. Everybody acknowledged that the only 2 real fights out there were Pavlick or Hopkins, he fought Hopkins and beat him. He can NEVER get respect from the haters.

I don't think beating Jones will enhance his legacy, although it will look good on paper

Yeh a 43 year old Hopkins is nothing much, he looked awful on Saturday

seems people thnk calzaghe didnt meet anyone decent in his defences, is the thought he should of been in the states years ago defending?because that is bollocks, dont remember RJJ or b-hop defending in britain!

Since when has Britain been the hotbed of World boxing ever ?
THAT COMMENT IS BOLLOCKS.

[Tysonbruno]

Its not about just defending in Britain its some of the guys he fought from Eubank to Lacy he didn't do much he threatened to go to Light heavy loads of times to get the better fights but never did.

[leftylee]

Nothing. Jones Jr is washed up and way past his best.

He was gonna fight Glen Johnson at lightheavy - but that was before Johnson sparked Roy.. so none of you haters would have give him any credit for the win anyway

You'd all be saying Johnson is a journeyman. Fact.

[p4pking]

The responses so far have pretty much been way to extreme imo. Either people think he can never do anything to gain more respect as he's already simply so great and some people are just stupid, and then the haters who add substance to that theory. Of course he doesn't need to gain respect in the sense he doesn't have any, that's complete shit he's had a great career. But I think it COULD hurt him in a sense fighting Roy Jones at this stage. It all depends too much on what Roy(and even Joe as well) have left to give. I really don't like Roy's chances to win myself given his legs, but if he looks good in the ring and Joe still deals with him then that goes a great way to increase his stock imo. I mean it's quite possible Calzaghe could show something to suggest he may have given a prime Roy Jones a close fight, it's also possible that he could win and yet still suggest he wouldn't have stood a chance. And then not to mention the possibility that Roy could turn back the clock enough to pull out the greatest win of his career. It is definetly an extremely interesting fight with signifigance for both guys, it's way to late but the clash of styles is tremendous. Also a pretty good undercard, Zab Judah vs someone and Frankie Figuroa(good fighter) fighting Gavin Rees.

[Pugilistic]

I respect Joe but a win over Jones won't get much credit from me at this stage.

Jones is past his best.

[Andre]

We the fans supply all the funds to the fighters.
So basically the only thing that sickens us more than a fighter stepping through a hand picked opposition with one goal in mind ,is to then choose the correct timing to fight the ones you stepped over previously when they were hot and fireing.

All credit to all the fighters who go all out to fight the biggest threats,because personally they just have to know.
Those are the real warriors even if they lose a few.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

well the fact is roy jones has been clean knocked out twice, been outpointed, regarded as a old shot fighter refuseing to retire so nothing cowardzaghe does will gain him respect from beating a way past his best jones

ha ha sorry man that came accross wrong, i meant that american fighters often never defend outta america, not that i think they should defend in briatain all the time. plus hatton & calzaghe get crowds off 55,000+ in britain, thats impressive dont u think?
