Why does everyone hate on calzaghe so much?

[tennesseeboy]

i dont understand it. i cant say he dominated kessler , but he made kessler look pretty bad at times. name someone in super middleweight who could do that? kessler is elite, and anybody who doesnt think that is just crazy.

It's because he's not American.

You're right!

I think it's because some people feel jealous because he's British, but I'm an American and he's one of my favorites. Some others are perhaps negative because they deeply believe that no white guy could really be as good as Calzaghe is!

A lot of guys still can't get over the way he spanked Lacy who they all thought was going to destroy joe.
Then Joe "Slapped" Lacy like a ginger step-son for the entire fight.
He also isn't American which would make Joe a Legend.

Im American, and I agree with you. I also think part of it is because he really doesnt look like a fighter. Im always amazed how such a normal looking guy can put on such a boxing clinic against guys who actually look like "fighters."

Calzaghe is the best, what are you talking about?

As far as I've seen, Joe Calzaghe is one of the most respected Boxers in this forum.

Yea, he is anything but intimidating to me.

It's because people can't stand his fans.
