Why Joe Calzaghe's Career is a Joke

[Xplosivo]

yo mik you the man though id try and give u some more karma but i cant.

a calzaghe nuthugger givin a calzaghe nuthugger green K because he couldnt even answer my question? the only reason why calzaghe fans dont answer my question when i ask name three great fighters calzaghe has beaten in his prime.............is because he hasnt even beaten one yet

[Technical_Skill]

just name me three great fighters calzaghe beat in their prime and i wont post in this thread anymore...

Im still waiting

For me Calzaghe is a world class fighter.

Not a great fighter.

Turned pro in 1993

Went 22-0 against mediocre opposition and in 1997 faced a Shot eubank who way past his best after his wars with nigel benn and watson (twice each) and Eubank lost to Collins twice before those fights showed he was shot to pieces. Calzaghe won the vacant WBO (Warren Boxing Organisation) Title in the process beating a shot Eubank claiming till this day "It was one the toughest fights of my career".

Then Calzaghe went on facing bums to pad his record and in the process faced 2 or 3 mandatories in his whole career.

two fights after the Eubank bout he faced Robin Reid, who wasnt rated at all back then, and didnt win ONE significant fight, Reid's biggest win was against Hacine Cherifi a guy who got KO'd by a Welterweight Trinidad and feather fisted Felix Sturm. Not to mention Reid struggled against this guy...Calzaghe got a GIFT decision against Reid, No way in ****ing black hell Calzaghe won more than 4 rounds in that fight, he used a injured hand as an excuse, those people who watched this fight can tell you Reid won it but was robbed, ill upload it on youtube and post it here soon.

After getting the gift decision against Reid, Calzaghe was 26-0 and fought bums of the month till he was 40-0, thats 14 opponents to pad calzaghe record in the process, most people picked lacy to beat him because a 40-0 calzaghe who has been boxing for 13 years was known to be one of the most protected fighters as in 13 years he hadnt done **** in boxing except defend against hand picked opponents while defending his Warren Boxing Organisation belt. He was pretty much an unknown, He beat Lacy who was overhyped to the max, Lacy IMO lost to Omar Sheikha, and his biggest was before that was probably the same **** fighter in Reid who calzaghe got a gift against. So stay at home calzaghe after padding his record to the most and beating a fighter who biggest win was a shot **** reid. Now the best win was against Kessler, and Kessler's biggest win is Anthony Mundine, Yes unfortunately this is the same Anthony Mundine who is a victim of the feather fisted Sven Ottke's 5 KO's. Its sad to see that kessler is his best win when kessler hasnt done **** yet and is considering retirement.

The best name on his resume is Bernard Hopkins, who calzaghe got knocked down against and struggled to beat, I mean it was a 44 year old senior citizen past his prime Bernard Hopkins and Calzaghe struggled to beat him, thats another gift. Unfortunately this wasn't the bernard who was more aggresive, threw more punches, and had some power, yet he still dropped Calzaghe.

Bare in mind Calzaghe also got hurt against nobodies called Byron Mitchell and Kabary Salem.

So to sum it up Calzaghe's career is pretty much a joke and he padded his record, Warren is more to blame as he protected his fighter, I mean a guy is pro since 1993 and you havent heard of him until he beats Lacy in 2006, thats 13 years, defenses against bums while protecting the WBO belt, and maybe 2 or 3 mandatories. Cherry picking at its finest...

I know the truth will hurt his fans but in a few years from when calzaghe retires it will be the way it is...a joke of a career

Clear, unbiased facts. This is the reason he's known as Joke Calzaghe...

yes joe has a 45-0 record and thats good, but look at his resume. that resume of his should be absolutely no reason to hold him as the best p4p fighter. an earlier hopkins would of killed him.

Hooked On Phonics, please give it a try.

[TheHitmanHatton]

how can anyone call Calzaghe's career a joke??

I agree that if he would of faced proven world class champions in their prime and beat them then he would be classed as one of the best fighters ever to grace the sport.

but he is unbeaten at the end of the day so fair play to the lad.

Calzaghe's achievements:

Gift decisions against Reid

Reid disagrees with you. I think that pretty much pisses on your argument.
