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).Mr Mitts likes this.

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).

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.

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.

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 Ali

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.
