Calzaghe Haters: What Is It You Don't Like?

[abadger]

wanna know the truth? his punching technique, its effective and i know why he does it, but good lord, those slaps look rediculous.

You really hate it that much huh? I agree it looked quite bad against B-Hop, but in general he does throw more normal looking punches most of the time. Honestly.

Not to mention Naseem Hamed, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Toucan McGinty, Roberto Duran or Tommy Hearns.

Bitches.

Only in America is inbreeding such a significant problem that you legally have to take a blood test before you get married. Over here, we just don't try to marry our cousins.

Get over it ***. Americans fighters have always owned you english limies. I'll give Calzaghe credit but he's Welsh and hates the english jokes as much as we do. The only other British boxer I'll give credit to is Wilde and he wasn't an english limey either.

Never heard of any of them either.

Hang on, does that mean we've now posted and talked about all of them, so were now suddenly unbiased or something? Fabulous.

In all seriousness I see the point being made and am just kidding around. I have posted about virtually all of the noted fighters at some time or other some more than others. But many people have a favourite fighter and post about them most, what's wrong with that?

Chunks mad on Haye but is pretty knowledgeable, Reed is mad on Roy. We all post more on certain topics, but there's still a mix, even if there wasn't, it doesn't really undermine being able to debate a certain boxer, his past fighters, and the division.

Rki, I've not been sure whether to call you nationalist or racist before, but ultimately your a very odd person obsessed with attacking all english people, and invent things about other countries hating england. It's quite bizarre I don't know what happened during your childhood but see a psychologist and leave your repetitive flaming of no value out of of this public forum. Thankyou.

Btw I'm half welsh half english, maybe you think I've got the devil inside me, with a good guy trying to break out Mr Radical.

im british so firstly yes i am biased towards our fighters. this is because people don't respect our fighters and they claim to be boxing experts yet they give opinions based on 1-2 fights that have being well promoted. people on here also piss me off when they think our fighters have fought bums all there career which isnt true either. its really quite pathetic the amount of hate hatton and calzaghe in particular receive on this forum at times. hatton lost to the number 1 fighter on the planet and is the linear LWW champ yet people make out he is the worst fighter ever.

The Calzaghe hate is annoying. again the majority of people base it on the hopkins fight which he was **** because hopkins does that to his opponents. In reality calzaghe is the only fighter apart from floyd (who yes i do not like but respect his talent) who i dont think would lose to anyone at SMW or LHW. if you disagree by the way please tell me who you think could beat him.

And yes all you americans that read this. i also think the hate floyd receives is ridiculous. every successful person has haters thats just life.

Exactly. I do post about other fighters, however I'm not certain I would like to see my percentage.

I do think that what you describe is a very common problem. On occasion it is as though some posters here literally believe Joe's entire career began with Jeff Lacy. The man beat Chris Eubank in 1997.

i still feel like if calzaghe was american and from Iowa he would get more respect not becuase just because he would be from here but honestly the boxing culture over here is considered to be much more competitive here in the western hemisphere. i feel like if he was from puerto rico, mexico, brazil, he would get a lot more respect than he does. For me i like him, i like his tenacity, his fearlessness, speed, and his swagger in the ring. Beating Roy jones yes even a shot Roy Jones will go a long way to helping build is legacy. I just feel he needs one fight not sure who it would be but one fight where everyone even his own fans are in doubt whether he wins or not. It may be a little too late in his career for a fight like that but if he were to take on someone like pavlik, young hungry hard punch bigger than calzaghe and would most likely be stronger at that weight. Thats the type of fight where if he wins it would be impossible to deny his greatness

yes i no but again people find faults there by saying eubank was shot and past it and it would have being different against a prime eubank. calzaghe wont lose to anyone at the minute whoever he fights in my opinion.
