allegedly answer questions on BBC

Post by s9s »

And heres a taster..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/4788477.stm

I am a big fan of Joe Calzaghe and believe he is truly a world-class boxer. What do you say to those who accuse him (and you by association) of dodging the biggest American names over the years?
Owen Wheatley, Southampton

Hi Owen - well, Joe hasn't dodged anybody. It was well documented that Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones dodged him, as has Markus Beyer, the current WBC champion. Joe has fought all the best that America has had to offer. Jermain Taylor's management have refused a fight. Joe can only beat who is put in front of him.

Joe has fought the best America has to offer - Pudwill, Jimenez, McIntyre the names roll of the tongue!

After watching the Naseem Hamed-Kevin Kelley fight again the other night, I was left wondering what exactly went wrong with Naz. I thought he would beat Barrera hands down and go on to become one of the greats.
Tom Bohan, Telford

The problem Naz had as far as his boxing career was concerned was that he thought he knew it all, he allowed his family to take control of his career and stopped training hard. He blew up between contests and at the end of the day that catches up with you.
ala Hatton?

Did no one ask him a question about the prospect of Calzaghe v Kessler? :roll:

Hi Glenn, my priority is to carefully guide my fighters' careers, making the right matches at the right time which will hopefully culminate in them winning titles and making as much money as they can from this sport.
Thats exactly what he's did with Hatton and Calzaghe. :TU:
Brad Pitt - I'm always getting mistaken for him!

I certainly did. I doubt I was the only one. No answers, mind you.

That's one of the great things about Woods winning last weekend though: It scuppered (for the what, 3rd time?) the Calzaghe-Johnson fight (Which I was never that keen to see anyway), so there's still a chance we can see Calzaghe against the Kessler-Beyer winner.

I just hope that ITV's ringside interviewer, whoever it may be, asks Calzaghe what he thinks about the other supermiddleweight title fight that was happening that night when he's beaten Bika. Actually, I might spring for ringside tickets just so I can shout it myself. It'd be a disgrace if nobody mentioned it: Like asking Jose Mourinho if he thinks the likes of Charlton are a danger, but pretending Liverpool, Arsenal and United don't exist.

if Kessler boxes the ears off Beyer, and starts screaming "I'm the real champion" & pisses off Calzaghe & Warren, it has a better chance of happening. MK has to make the big statement.

I'd say the opposite would be more likely :wink:

As in if Kessler looks very good then Calzaghe will jump straight to 175 whereas if he looks poor then Calzaghe/Warren will see it as an easy fight for a high reward :TU:

Hopefully Woods will get a fight with Jones/Tarver (or whoever else Hobson is supposed to be talking to) so Calzaghe will be more or less forced to stay at 168
