Joe Calzaghe under the micoscope

[Kev]

Boxing is about MONEY.

Guys like Mundine and Beyer want BIG money to travel. Guys like Salem and Ashira cost peanuts.

Calzaghe-Hopkins/Jones is worth far more MONEY to them now than it would have been 10 years ago.

Calzaghe has only been recognised as top draw since 2006.

You know Fenster I'm done debating this with people.

Anyone who genuinely in their heart thinks that Calzaghe should have proven his greatness by staying at 168 to fight Bute, Beyer and Mundine rather than go on to fight Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones is just beyond reason imo.

People who are saying BHop is done according the Ring magazine he's the number 4 p4p fighter in the world

As for Kessler he's the RING CHAMPION at 168. He destroyed Marcus Beyer and easily beat Mundine, why in the world would Joe fight Beyer or Mundine? When he fought Lacy he was the RING NUMBER ONE CONTENDER at 168.

And people say he should have avoided these fights and instead fought Bute who almost got ktfo last week and Mundine who got KO'd by Sven Ottke



Seriously I still can't get over Rozzy Sean's suggestion that he should have stayed at 168 to fight Beyer?

Beyer got KO'd in 3 rounds by Kessler and was a decent but wholly ordinary world champ. He almost got ko'd by Danny Green until he was controversially saved, Bika was giving him problems until they managed to call that fight a no contest too.

Yet beating Beyer, who has been KTFO by Kesller, Mundine who got KTGO by OTTKE and Bute who almost got KTFO by Andrade are better opponents than B Hopkins and Roy Jones two of the greatest fighters of the past 20 years, both probably near the top 10 ALL TIME great list and who have beaten a whose who of boxing's elite.

Calzaghe should have turned down those fights and chose to build his legacy on Bute, Beyer and Mundine instead?

Sorry but that's the most retarded post I've ever read
