    Roy dodged him huh? Which is why it took Joe 44 fights to make his way over to the US to fight the more famous fighters like Hopkins and Jones.

    Joe Calzaghe is a good fighter and I am taking nothing away from what he has accomplished but last nights win over Roy was nothing bigger than his win over a shot Chris Eubank.
    Oh come now,Joe has been begging for Jones for 7 years now at least
    Jones has allways publicly said,"I fight who I want,so why should I talk to him" he did the same thing to Bernard
    Well now that nobody really wants to watch him anymore because he's done,suddenly he's become alot more accomodating
    Alot of athletes forget, a time will come when theres nothing left to be cocky or arrogant about anymore,for Roy, the time has come today.
    From my understanding Joe Calzaghe never would accept the normal 70/30 pay difference nor would he fly over to the States because he was afraid of flying. I think Bernard was bad as well in terms of negotiations with Roy. However you know more about it than I do. I definitely could see Roy taking the easier road, I think people criticize Floyd for doing it when the fights he took IMO were harder.

    Not really,just in how people treat you in the buisness,if your fighter is champ as well, you cant take 70/30. Its an unacceptable number. In Bernards case,Roy didnt even have a belt at the time, and Bernard had 3, and Roy told him he'd have to take 60/40
