It looks like Calzaghe v Jones is on already,after that who else is there for him to fight?I mentioned the judges and Cortez before and i was right for a change.I'd love Micky Vann to ref in Cardiff,for some daft reason he has to retire this year.Instead of Cortez with his blinkers image Vann saying 'Dont give me any f******* s***'!!






I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.

He is not in the same league as some of the real greats, just because he is unbeaten and been champion for such a long period, doesn't to me say he is a great(I know that sounds a bit daft). To me he has always faced people at the right times e.g Eubank(was past his best), never really taken anybody on during their peak. Dodged alot of good fighters unlike Clinton Woods who has been in with some of the best around. Now it looks like he could be fighting Roy Jones, how many years to later? Jones would have murdered him in his peak! He did a good number Lacy and beat a poor champion in Kessler in recent times and has now beaten a 43 year old man. Just my opinion.

He was avoided man... he's awkward and dangerous and wasnt easy to market in the US so Jones et al avoided him like the plague.

I dont agree with that, do you honestly think Calzaghe could have beaten Jones at his peak?

Not a chance. PBF is a far superior boxer to Calzagie in every respect possible.

beax wrote:shame he didnt go to the states earlier but he's a record breaker, undefeated, greatest Super Middle in history by a mile

The Super Middle weight limit is 15/16 years old so to use the word "history" is misguided.

beax wrote:pretty much there really. Will be rated with Monzon, Hagler, et al

What planet are you on? Calzagie is not fit to wipe Hagler's @rse. If both fighters were at their peak, Hagler would have eaten him...

Great win for Joe, really please he kept his unbeaten record going.

Thought Hopkins landed some clean shots but was outworked by JC. although I thought he won it by 2 rounds and some of the judges scores were a bit strange.

Have to agree with what has been said about the ref. he was shocking!
