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

[p4pking]

He would have been had Calzaghe beat him

Assuming Calzaghe just blew him out... Don't think there's even a chance it would've been a good fight?

Without the Jones win, which led to the Tarver win, Johnson wouldn't have the credibility he does.

Calzaghe was going to fight him before he sparked Roy. So.. had Calzaghe beaten him he wouldn't have got the Roy fight, which means he'd just be classed as a tough journeyman type (win or lose to Calzaghe).

Naturally, after beating Jones and Tarver, it was clear he'd been robbed by everyman and his dog throughout his career

Ahhh, I didn't get your angle on that one. Guess I wasn't aware it would've spoiled the Jones Jr fight. If it had took place before that and Glen didn't pull off the upset he would've had a much tougher time competing at the top level until now, obviously. Guess I just took exception to the comment as Johnson is a perfectly capable fighter who has been on very good form since then. Don't think it's out of the question he could have beaten Calzaghe, or at least done well enough to be regarded as more than a journeyman. I think he would have made some surge forward as a contender even without the Jones Jr fight though, it's not as though there are a bunch of guys more likely to have landed big fights considering his throwback approach.
