race isn't a thing, but stereotypes are real observable data. and the word bigot is a politically correct term. If you are politically correct today that would make you politically correct in any other era. so i'll meet it half way - for a thinking man it can be in the discussion - for someone who doesn't fit this category it's generally just mindless hate.
The Terrible Trio. 50-0, 46-0 & 32-0. JEALOUSY

These fighters are retired so it's boxing history. If you dont like the topic why are on you on this trend then? I didn't force anyone to come here, nor am I basting anyone's opinion but now you want me flagged? Really ? So you have nothing better to do ? No wife, kids or hobbies ?
Calzaghe - took way too long to step it up and trod water defending the WBO.
Andre Ward - not enough fights and all in the US (beside two in the Caribbean).Comment

My main issue is that you are presuming to know what's in people's minds when they criticise your chosen fighters and, as far as Mayweather goes, reopening a very stale topic in an uninteresting way. I am trying to resist even mentioning Mayweather (and Pacquiao) any more but as for the other two:
Calzaghe - took way too long to step it up and trod water defending the WBO.
Andre Ward - not enough fights and all in the US (beside two in the Caribbean).Comment

Andre ward is a bit of a clown. he talks with all the old fighters like he's one of them with his amateur style. he really isn't a master boxer at all. he fights like an olympic boxer with some pro experience - which is all he really is. His buddy Roy Jones would have cooked him.Comment

Base on Wards current record you dont think its better than most at 168lbs historically?
i don't blame an English fighter dragging his feet to fight on foreign soil. Most Americans wouldnt go to the UK to fight Joe. However i dont blame either side.Comment

I enjoyed Wards run through the super six tournament. I would never re watch any of those fights though. I rather watch Carl Froch then Ward. However that doesn't mean I would bash Ward in favor of Froch.
I did However Re-watch that Ward- Kovalev I fight. fight, I had Andre edging it. I mean if they found a way to give Virgil Ortiz that win over Serhii Bohachuk then that fight with Ward doesn't look like a robbery. Now that rematch with Kovalev seemed dirty.Comment

Thats a lie. There's fighters that have bigger followers of haters then most. Thats the point of this thread. Obviously you disagree.
So who is more hated among all time great fighters then these three undefeated fighters ?
There's no reason why Floyd, Calazage or Ward should have so many haters. Especially Floyd and Ward among American media and fans. Go to any boxing channel or website. The topic can be Womens boxing and out of no where Someone has to bring up floyd mayweather for no reason but to throw dirt on his name. I been seeing this for the last 15 years. It makes no sense for a fighter to live rent free in somebody's head like that. Its beyond critics. Its hate.
You want to talk about a fighter who truly got hated on look up Muhammad AliComment

Thats a justified reason why back in those days why a ( white American) would hate Ali. Floyd really never cared to be outspoken about anything that controversial and Ward i believe be talking about God alot. Idk what Calazage does outside the ring nor do I care. I don't care what any boxer does out side of the ring. That's the point of this thread. We are only judging base on their craft. Bringing up Ali has nothing to do with anyone in this topic. Now if you want to say you don't like Floyd because he's not a social rights activist. I guess thats pushing the line because most athletes aren't. Shoot blacks didn't like Joe Brown or OJ in their prime but American society held them in high regard.
Whats your definition of fan boy? because I am not a fan of Calazage or Ward so now I know you cant read. I clearly wrote i just judge people base on their craft and nothing more.
It seems like you are triggered.Last edited by MalevolentBite; 07-06-2025, 08:43 PM.Comment
