Joe Calzaghe The Biggest Fraud In Boxing History?

[dave.kind777]

joe it's all about the right money

Basically joe career has been all about fighting the right opponents to make the most money at the least risk !!!! only now he talks about being a lengend... well to be a legend you need to fight live fighters at there peak not on the way down of there careers. Joe has done this through out bar a few young up start i.e. a 1 dimensional jeff lacy. trust me there were many fighters out there he could have fought but he didnt all were hand picked.

why has a boxer with such a long unbeaten record made so less career monies ? because he fought downward fighters. fighting jones now is total rubbish he is half the man he was in the 90s.
He can con the average public but true boxing pundits know the score with him. Bernard Hopkins knew this and sais it himself he is the biggest con in boxing. Trinidad,Winky wright, Jermain Taylor,Blah Blah Blah so many live fighters he could have and should have fought and he says they didnt want to fight him Bull crap !!! iv seen joe on TV and Carl froch offered him a fight and he said if the monies right. Joe how dare you mention your a legend in the same breath of the true legends before you and after. If you really think you are a true legend then your bank balance should reflect this ..... and we know this is not the case because you need super fights with live boxers to earn the big purses.

How has he managed to duck or not fight bernard hopkins, winky wright, shane mosley, oscar de la hoya, jermain taylor, cory spinks. and maybe kelly pavlik and john duddy. all of which would be able to move up a weight division or joe can go down.

His legacy is definitly questionable in my eyes because he has not fought what i would class as tough opposition for him.

Your thoughts?
And how has he managed to duck so many fights?

I know this is old news, but...

Mosley - Never fought at 160
De La Hoya - Disastrous results at 160
Spinks - No results at 160

Wright - No wins over 160
Taylor - No wins over 160, who Calzaghe was calling out before the Pavlik loss
Pavlik - No fights over 160 when this post was made

John Duddy - Are you ****ing serious?

Hopkins - The guy he fought next, and beat.

Hmm... nice post... you might have been distracted wanking it to child **** though, so I guess we can give you a pass.

Boxing is not all about money.

[dave.kind777]

YES this is true but in todays boxing there is good money to be made but you have to excite the publics imagination with Live fighters in there prime.Joe has a cunning knack of fighting the names that are on the way down rather than up this way he tries and grabs the fighters past glory. I do hope he wins as it will be good for welsh\british fans
