Joe Calzaghe Jeff Quotations

But I will fight Jeff Lacy, regardless of money, regardless of anything else, it's a fight I definitely want.

It's the biggest fight in a long time. I know Jeff is going to be possibly the toughest fight of my career, so I am under no illusions. But like I have shown in the past, I have always risen to the occasion. I have the heart of a champion and the ability. It is just getting everything right and performing on that night. It's going to be a great fight.

It's easier to just fight to defend your title. After the Robin Reid fight, people said you should have knocked him out. If I knock a guy out, they say he's a bum. Nobody will be able to say that about Jeff Lacy. There is no debating Jeff Lacy. A win is a win now and I need to win this fight.

Jeff is on the way up. You can't say that he's a champion that's on the fade, ... He's made some excellent defenses, he's a big puncher, a good all-around fighter.
