I just think it was ignorance on the part of most people. here was a guy who had made so many defences of his title, albeit against only decent opposition, and yet people were writing him off as a bum. far too many people make judgements without even seeing the fights of a certain boxer, or just simply hating. Calzaghe's handspeed was mentioned a few times, but it was largely overlooked, and those slaps were pretty damn hard too. :D Maybe this will make people think twice about writing a champion off again, unfortunately some people will never learn, and the name calling will continue.

id love to wipe my as with the humble pie then make these bigots eat it

It tastes pretty good, but I like apple a little better. But thanks though...
