Hating Calzaghe

Nah, it's not the same. Joe was only 3 years younger anyway. Maybe not in the case of Jones, but.. Age difference between Larry Holmes & Muhammad Ali = 7 years Age difference between Joe Calzaghe & Bernard Hopkins = 7 years

If Calzaghe would have done it against a prime Roy i wouldn't have a problem with it. Now he did it against old Roy. Three years after Calzaghe himself had stated that Roy was way past his prime and should retire. Thats just sad. It's like if Holmes had taunted Ali in their fight and then boosted about how he outclassed the great Muhammad Ali. Nah, it's not the same. Joe was only 3 years younger anyway. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

thats a stupid excuse, its a generalisation so it was BS to begin with but now its just getting old aswell. i dont hate calzaghe or any other fighter. i do dislike him though, bcuz hes overrated. hes the type of fighter thats hurting boxing, cherry picks overrated hypejobs like lacy and kessler and washed up old men like roy jones. his resume is painfully weak yet people act like hes an atg. he was a very talented fighter but never truly tested himself. not giving hopkins a rematch after a very close, very controversial SD hurts the sport aswell. i hear guys saying hes the greatest southpaw of all time, hes not even the greatest southpaw of his time.. casamayor, pacquiao, winky.. hes on the same level as tarver, very good but not great. not in amongst the best in his time and certainly not in the history of the sport. Lacy and Kessler were the next best people in his division. How could he have "cherry picked" them? Wtf? Hopkins was the light heavyweight champ. "Cherry picked" the man at the division? :lol1:

his style.... Yeah, I should of included that option in the poll.

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335949&page=7 Why do people on this forum hate Calzaghe so much? He never insulted his opponents, never cheated and seems a cool guy. Yet everyday there is at least 4 hate threads about him, why is that? cause he beat up a senior citizen and a shot fighter, claimed himself to be great, then quit boxing. 2 words: douche bag.

It's not him, it's his fans like Tom Jones, who attribute anything negative said about Calzaghe to his nationality. Who wouldn't hate that? All the American posters should start doing the same thing.

Larry Holmes's wife is nothing but a call girl! *drop kick*

Good afternoon, from sunny England. Snowing here, cold as hell...

Mornin fellas.... **** the mornings Good afternoon, from sunny England.

Oddly enough, those are the same reasons I don't like Roy much, although I respect him otherwise. Shaking his hips and pulling faces at binmen? Come on. Roy got exactly what he deserved from Calzaghe. If you can't take it, don't dish it. If Calzaghe would have done it against a prime Roy i wouldn't have a problem with it. Now he did it against old Roy. Three years after Calzaghe himself had stated that Roy was way past his prime and should retire. Thats just sad.

Calzaghe-Jones / Calzaghe-Hopkins = Lewis-Tyson. Huge Lewis fan here, btw. Lewis-Tyson was heart breaking for me, the end of the Mike Tyson era.

People are criticizing him in the hopes that he'll come out of retirement to prove them wrong. That's the main reason. It's not a U.S. vs UK thing, because a lot of Americans respect Lennox Lewis. Lennox fought the best in their primes, Calzaghe fought old men. Calzaghe-Jones / Calzaghe-Hopkins = Lewis-Tyson.

His nationality plays a role. But really he unwillingness to press for American exposure earlier on in his career and fighting nad beating old legends. He said Roy Jones was done in about 2005 and then he fights him in 2008.Barely beat Hopkins. His resume lacks consistency. That being said I'm a fan of Joe and consider him a top man altough I do share the general opinion that he is overrated. i think that pretty much summed it up

I strongly dislike him as a person for taunting Roy and acting like a clown. Oddly enough, those are the same reasons I don't like Roy much, although I respect him otherwise.

Him getting Banned was hilarious:rofl: Goodbye: Hyde aka Kelso aka Agent Mulder:boxing: I bet it's the same guy who was stalking me form 9 months on here. Used to be called xfiles (and the name fits with Fox Mulder), serious Calzaghe hater. The type of person who would kill Joe, given the chance, like the guy who shot Darrell from Pantera on stage.

i don't care what you are. it is the truth. haters on here hate euro fighters. fighters of all nationalitys and colors receive hate bcuz of it, ppl always assuming if someone dislikes a european fighter its simply cuz they are european is BS though. everyone likes diffrent style of fighters, so ther are gonna be ppl who dislike joes style. on top of that his resume is highly questionable. saying its all due to nationality is just ignorant. Lacy and Kessler were both ranked as the best SMWs in the world and had titles at the time. Who did you want him to fight? If he didn't fight them ppl would have said he ducked them. He moved up to LHW and beat Hopkins, the only ppl who think the win was controversial are Hopkins fans, Joe clearly won and Hopkins did only slightly better than Kessler against him in my view......He shouldn't have fought Roy at that point though I agree but still he was a good fighter one of the best at 168 ever and deserves more respect on here. you are entitles to your opinion, i clearly thought hopkins won. not only hopkins fans think he won eighter, its a very controversial fight with lots of diffrent opinions. hopkins sure as hell did alot better than kessler, thats a fact. i wouldve liked him not to pull out of the johnson fight a trillion times. i wouldve loved to see him give hopkins a rematch, or take on dawson, pavlik or even tarver. some ppl give him too little respect, anyone who fights for a living deserves respect. and anyone who gives hopkins even at 44 a hard fight deserves props for his ability. hes not an atg in my eyes though, and just like alot of ppl dont give him enough props alot of people overrate him alot aswell.

The diffrence is Williams is ten years younger with a better resume then Cal already. pavlik will send him to canvas hard let alone trying someone in the supersix as your signature suggests.
