    I don't. It just boggles my mind how Calzaghe fans portray him. Especially win I hear fanatical stuff like "Calzaghe should be p4p 1" or "Calzaghe prime could beat Jones prime". And especially how calzaghe fans overrate his opponents like Lacy and Kessler as if they're also all-time great fighters. So to answer your question, I don't hate calzaghe, I hate his fanatical fans.

      agree, i think he'll be a threat later in his carrer......he's a preety good boxer

        They have said Calzaghe is a better boxer than Cotto. They have claimed that he is a better boxer than a prime RJJ and Mayweather. Calzaghe is a ATG and that Kessler is the best thing since slice bread. Morales is a bum also and Calzaghe is P4P best not Pacman

          i would have to antonio margarito. give the man credit for knocking out an opponent that not too many people thought he could beat. goin against the odds and silencing alot of critics should warrent a big badge of respect.

            The British duo of Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn probably don't get the respect they should from fight fans in America. Both were top class MW/SMWs who won world titles in both divisions and fought in some legendary wars with each other, Michael Watson and Steve Collins. Eubank went on to fight a great fight against a young Calzaghe and then fought Carl Thompson for cruiserweight titles twice. Benn fought several top Americans, KOing Iran Barkley in one, and of course his great but tragic fight with Gerald McLellan.

              You might as put all your "great fighters" from over there because they'll never get the respect from us that you think they deserve because they are not great.

                You are consumed with hatred. Have you ever even seen these guys fight? If you automatically assume that boxers are not great based on non-boxing criteria, you can't really expect people to take your opinion seriously.

                    How am I consumed with hatred? I just said they were trash, I dont hate them. The only thing funny about Eubank was how he reacted like a ***** when Lights Out said something about his "mum"

                    "I can't take this" like he was about to cry, what a *****.

                      You realise Iran Barkley is regarded as one of James Toney's best ever wins and performances? Benn stopped him in 1, before Toney fought him!

                      Trash indeed!
