Show some respect to joe calzaghe

[boxasmash]

longest reigning champion in boxing - 11 years
21 title defences, only beaten by dariusz and louis
only person to hold all 4 super middleweight titles
record for biggest indoor attendance in europe during his fight with kessler
hasnt lost a fight in over 15 years
only fighter to hold two ring magazine titles at the same time

not only has he achieved all this but because of him boxing is starting to get big again on the other side of the atlantic and even in australia he is my second favorite fighter.

I don't think anybody disrespects him, they're blind if they do.

They'll just never be content until he loses.

[Gojira]

anybody who doesnt realise how great joe calzaghe is they deserve to be shot.

Cal****lappy LMAO PWN!

Nah, he deserves respect. I think a lot of people have lost respect for him due to him fighting Roy instead of Pavlik, and claim he is "ducking" Pavlik.

[MWMerlino]

respect given where respect is due and that respect is given to calzaghe depending on how his resume is viewed.

sugar ray leonard "Joe calzaghe is the best super middleweight ever"
marvin hagler "joe calzaghe is very underrated"

maybe if people listen to their idols they will think the same way they do.

The thing about Calzaghe is that it really isn't hard to see that he's good. He's really a very complete package as a boxer, fast, skilful, strong, good chin etc. Instead his critics choose to concentrate on his flaws and ignore everything good. I mean, it is basically doctrine here that calzaghe always slaps, has zero power and has terrible defence. The reality is that none of these are actually true.

The boo boys will boo, let 'em. I laugh in the face of anyone who thinks any Tom, **** or Harry can become an 11 year World Champion and 45-0.

If that's the case, then they're complete idiots. Jones will be a tougher fight than Pavlik. Pavlik is tough, he's very strong willed, but very, very basic, slow, a plodder, and one dimensional. He's made for Calzaghe. Jones, old or not, should give serious trouble to Calzaghe in the first half of the fight, before he starts gassing. Pavlik would end up looking like an amature. Id far rather see Pavlik against Kessler than Calzaghe, especially if Joe plans on retiring shortly.
