Why Joe Calzaghe's Career is a Joke

[.Mik.]

And yet he wont be.

Another troll with nothing new to say, already unpopular. Nobody listens to your bile, nobody respects it. So the point to wonder is, why do you feel the need to spread it?

Calzaghe P4p #2 and right now i doubt anyone could beat him easy
Calzaghe is a very good boxer and from here on will fight the best

Isn't it a little too late for that bro?

[Monticello]

I wouldn't call Calzaghe's career a joke, he's made a record ammount of title defenses and has beaten some really good fighters in the process. Reid, Kessler, and Hopkins. I remember when he fought Lacy, Lacy was the huge favorite to win the fight and was absolutely destroyed. Lacy has not been the same fighter since that crushing defeat.

Isn't it a little too late for that bro?

The man is a very young 36 year old, i only see him taking on the best from here on till he retires

[Sin City]

could you imagine if Mayweather had Calzaghe's resume?.. he wouldn't hear the end of it about how he ducked everybody.. yet Cal gets away with a free pass because he is British?
Nah, it just doesn't slide.

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

calzaghe's best win is against senior citizen Bernard Hopkins... and he's currently targeting another senior citizen: RJJ who is a shell of his former self.

[CraigM]

Calzaghe's achievements:

Gift decisions against Reid and Hopkins
Toughest fights against Past Prime fighters such as Hopkins and Eubank
Knocked down by bums like Byron Mitchell and Kabary Salem
18 title defenses against Unknowns/Bums
Best win against Kessler, who hasn't done **** yet in boxing and is already considering retirement.

What a joke of a career

My god your actually a ******.

He beat Hopkins, Reid was a lot tougher to call.
Byron Mitchell being a bum? He nearly beat Ottke in Germany!

But the worst of it, Kessler not doing anything in boxing? He was the bloody WBA/WBC champion!

And yet he wont be.

your smart enough thats why i guess ive hit a nerve. truth hurts and even calzaghe fans know that the truth is he hasnt done much in his career, his resume is a shame, filled with bums defending the warren boxing organisation belt, i mean name atleast 3 great prime fighters calzaghe has faced in his career to back your claim

I like the way you did your research and posted the facts to support your opinion! I've yet to see a response that proves you wrong! nice post! But Joe deserves more credit than you givin' him! he CAN fight!

If Calzaghe was a joke then I'd hate to know what Gayweather is.

Calzaghe kicks the **** out of Gayweather P4p.
