    To be fair its each to their own really, i'm not a Cotto fan at all, but wouldn't start hating because of it.

        Anyone who says they do not enjoy Calzaghe's fighting style has either only recently discovered him, whether due to being American and coverage of Calzaghe being limited up until recently or is a new fan to boxing.

        Calzaghe can be sensational to watch and his combinations can be breath taking. Don't base your opinions on his fight with Hopkins, who is a tricky nut to crack.

          Calzaghe is good to watch. His acomplishments speak for themselves and i think he is either the 1 or 2 SMW of all time. However, it may look like i dislike him from time to time as i dont agree with some biased people here

            These are some of the reasons why 'users' of this forum dislike calzaghe. I call them 'users' because they're not fans. A boxing fan looks objectivley at every fighters performance without first checking whether they are American or not.

              a lot of people have missed out on the much harder hitting and exciting Calzaghe. It's a shame really that the Americans have caught him soo late in his career. They would've seen the transformation from accurate, fast, non stop bomber to the light hitting abeit effective style we see now.
              Look at Hector Camacho after his right with Rosario he went from all out fighter who threw and came forward to the safety first moderatly boring man in the latter part of his career but he was still effective. If you only saw the latter half of his career then you'd think very different of the fighter but if you saw his entire career you would make the case that because he experienced difficulties he adjusted his style etc.
              Same for Calzaghe his hands are the difficulties i'm 100% sure that if his hands weren't as bad as they were he would be twice the fighter he is now.

                What u said is true but he is a overprotected hometown fighter. That constantly talks about being undefeated

                  Bump. Hate and flame wars are boring me. Perhaps we could actually talk boxing without crying over it like children.

                    His Style is unorthodox.. But it works..

                    Can y'all just accept it??.

                    I really dont understand why this Man's existence causes so Much ALARM and Threatens so many on people on here the way he does..

                    It's just a game.. guys..
                    Honestly bro, lol he's just not that good.

                    I mean there's no way he can fight at LHW............he looked slow, and totally uncharacteristic in dealing with an old man:

                    Who everyone said he would knock out.

                    His prime has come and gone and he spent that beating C class fighters.

                      haha I don't care if Calzaghe wore five finger diamond rings, had diamond earrings, was an American Black Man who ran Guns and Dope.

                      He's not that good of a fighter. E U R O T R A S H.
