The only people that disrespect Calzaghe are the ones who call him "Calslappy" and poke fun at his fighting style. Because nobody is disrespecting a damn thing by pointing out that he's not that great a fighter.
I mean he's a good, solid, SMW Champ and has been for a long time............but he's far......and I mean FAR from ever being considered a great fighter.
Only his blind, delusional fans think he is. Hell they did Eubank also, lol.
Sir Boxingscene would be heaven if everyone used some common sense instead of letting their nationality and bias get in the way. Agreed with everything

Right...so how do you compare Margarito and Calzaghe, out of interest?

Look at what people ****ing type about Margarito. lol
"He's a Bum"
"He sells Oranges by the freeway"
"It's actually him that's ducking the fighters. They aren't turning down extremely lucrative multi million dollar paydays to fight him"
"I'd pick Quintana and or Cotto to stop him. Hell anyone in the top 5".
It's all nonsense...........and it's rampant on here. None of anything italicized could be further from the truth.
Pointing out that Calzaghe isn't a great fighter........isn't hating. Neither is pointing out that he spent his entire career fighting in his shallow back yard.

Margarito is no bum, I agree, but it appears that you have a very selective approach to the threads you read if you think the extent of the hate Calzaghe gets is just saying he "isn't great". Half the threads on p1 right now are basically calzaghe hate threads!
As for whether Calzaghe is a "great" or not, well I'm not sure what you have to do to become one if what calzaghe has done so far in his career isn't enough. Look at his p4p position and the titles he holds right now. "The greatest" of course not, but "a great", of course he his.

Calzaghe is winning for a reason. This idiots opinion is that very reason.

Calzaghe gets called a bum more than Tony, I'm afraid
"He sells Oranges by the freeway"
Granted, that one is just Tony, lol
"It's actually him that's ducking the fighters. They aren't turning down extremely lucrative multi million dollar paydays to fight him"
Calzaghe ducked prime Hopkins and prime Jones? WRONG. Same as Tony, they avoided him
"I'd pick Quintana and or Cotto to stop him. Hell anyone in the top 5".
People picked Lacy to KO Joe easily, with the benefit of hindsight, THAT is disrespect

But Calzaghe is a great fighter, and the NSB consensus is that he is top 25 in the past 30 years. Under such circumstances, saying he is not great is very disrespectful.
