Let's hate on Mayweather and praise Calzaghe

[ßringer]

The likes of Ricky and Lucky13 talk **** about Floyd but glorify Calzaghe.

It's idol worship.

I used to be a Calzaghe fan until he ducked Pavlik and chose to fight old shot Jones instead for more money.

And I thought you was a real fan?

Grow the **** up. How can you duck a Middleweight with 1 title defence who has been champ for less than a year?

Calzaghe's fans are the worst in boxing period. They are exactly that - Calzaghe fans. As soon as he retires they won't follow the sport anymore. You barely ever see them discussing any other topic.

That's a load of ****.

How dare you say I'm not a fan of boxing when I stay up to 5 am to watch a ****ing Philipino beat the **** out of a bum.

Great point. I was going to make a thread on this topic.

Basically, Floyd and JC fans HAVE to have the same view point on the issue of ducking/retirement. There can be NO difference of opinions in viewing them comparatively. If you think Floyd gets a pass, then so must Joe. If you think Floyd is a ***** who's taking the piss, then the same applies to Joe.

Personally, I think they're both ****heads. But Floyd has had the better opposition and is infinitely more talented. But still, a ****ty way to go out.

Because Calzaghe cleaned out his division against young unbeaten challengers (Lacy, Kessler) and Mayweather fought Baldomir and Judah who was coming off a loss instead.

Corrales (undefeated), Chavez, Hernandez, Castillo (twice), Corley, Bruseles, N'dou, Gatti, Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya (past-prime) and Hatton (undefeated).

Who's Joe got aside from Eubank, Lacy, Kessler, and an old Hopkins?

And don't say Robin Reid because everybody who saw that fight watched Reid kick Joe's ass.

Calzaghe doesn't claim to be the GOAT.


Bold = Nobodies. Castillo beat him the first time and Hatton was too small. Corrales was overrated too.

I was never a huge Calzaghe fan...I still like Joe and respect him, hes a great fighter....But Im pissed off that he ducked prime, undisputed middleweight champ Pavlik and chose to fight old shot Roy Jones instead....Hopefully Calzaghe dosent retire and fights Pavlik after he beats Jones.

Castillo didn't beat **** the first time. The only people who claim this are people who never even seen the fight.

If Hatton was too small, why did all of his fans think he would win?

Corrales? Overrated? Mother****er was an undefeated knock out artist in his prime, a ****ing mini-Tyson. Nobody wanted anything to do with him until Floyd stepped up.

[ßringer]

And to call Hernandez, Corley, N'dou, gatti, mitchell and Judah nobodies? Get the **** out of here.

This coming from a guy who's favorite fighter has the likes of Tocker Pudwill on his record?
