Calzaghe turned down the Beyer fight!

Hitman, Green is raw but very powerful. He looked destructive in stopping Eric Lucas in 6 and i think there is a lot more in his tank at 25 years old. I doubt Calzaghe is scared of Green but at the same time i am not sure he is particuarly excited about taking him on. Calzaghe was floored after all by a puncher last time out in Byron Mitchell, a fight with Mger Mk will serve to get his confidence back on track before stepping back up to world level.

In the last year I have gone from the most rabid defender of JC to the most bored onlooker at his career!

I have no patience, excuses or interest left.

I refuse to shell out for another Joke defence - and having always maintained that when he went to fight in the States I would go too - I now feel that if he goes, I won't bother.

Nothing short of a mega-fight would drag me to one of his bouts now - Hopkins, Tarver or Jones - and even then I'd think twice.

Not only that, I hope he fu****g stays - see if he can kid the US fans that he gives a toss - I have had enough.

I am going to copy this post to allegedly.TV - I am sure they will note my disgust and then sign for a re-match with Pudwill.

Lugh I was expecting a stern defence of your fellow Welshman but I agree with you a 100%. His career is not moving forwards, too many confident boasts by all his camp that he was gonna prove to the world what a great fighter he is but it never materialises........a waste of a talent

it really is a tragic waste of talent this guy has it all, good skills which people seem to forget they just call him a brawler he can outbox guys to

decent power, gr8 chin, strong, good looking guy as well

this guy should be a star by now but instead of that he's a small fish in a big pond.

i agree with you guys i've just lost interest he needs a change and quick cos time is not on his side at 32
