Show some respect to joe calzaghe

[Xyei]

Calzaghe isn't my favorite fighter but he sure as hell gets my respect. He is a great fighter

[CiganoBoxer]

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 loved what Jones said about him on Bunces boxing hour ! Jones said: nobody can go for 45-0 and not be someone special ! nomatter who they fight ! if you dont respect that then there must be something wrong with you!
Love calzaghe or hate him,you gotta give him his due !

You don't demand respect, you earn it. Pacman, JMM, Vazquez and Margarito seem to have earned it and they aren't "undefeated for 15 years". Pacman has been KOed by a no-namer, Vazquez was practically written off as a shot boxer, Margarito didn't seem formidable against Williams and JMM has a Japanese boyfriend - they're respected nonetheless. The other boxers in the P4P list seem to have earned that from the boxing fans. I wonder why Mayweather and Calzaghe haven't.

I cant see why Calzaghe hasnt earnt respect though? What hasnt he done to not earn it?

Because he didn't break America until the Lacy fight....most of Joe's haters are American. If Joe was American he'd be the best thing since sliced bread, he'd beat a prime Ali with one arm tied behind his back. But he's Welsh, so he's ****.
