    The fact that Calzaghe vs Kessler received some of HBO's lowest ratings of the year?

    The fact that most hate from Calzaghe stems entirely from the Hopkins fight?

    Or that some Yanks are extremely insulated and dont care about whats going on in the world around them?

    All you do on this forum is go around mocking others opinions on things. Yet you dont even have the bollox to give yours and face a similar mocking.

    Either way, you are the laughing stock of this forum which is some consolation I suppose.

    People were hating on Calzaghe way before the Hopkins fight. Moron. Remember a guy named Bozo No No on here? He's been a topic on here for a while. If by the "general public" well, since you have proven you don't know two things about America or it's public we can just agree to say that your opinion doesn't mean jack ****.

    Wow? Really? Some Yanks are extremely insulated and don't care about the rest of the world? Thanks captain obvious.

    The hilarious part is that your entire point, and abadgers is that "it annoys us that a few people are vocal and ****** so we'll make it our mission to remind everyone why Yanks are ****ing ******. Brilliant. And then you ***** about Bias and objectivity.

    I've given my opinion on plenty of things often enough. But it's more fun to laugh at you when you say things like "Jones fought cab drivers ....." and then can't back it up.

    You complaining about anyone's objectivity is the ultimate joke.

      Im sure people were but in my opinion, the hate for Calzaghe has increased rapidly after the Hopkins fight. Firstly because it was probably the first time a lot of Yanks had seen him fight. Secondly because he beat one of your fighters and because he didnt look great doing it.

      So first you say I know nothing about Americans then you say that Im making obvious (and clearly correct) statements about them. Which is it?

      No mate, I dont go around saying that all Yanks are untested bums afraid to leave their countries like some people on here and in this very thread say about British fighters.

      Im still wondering why you dont take issue with those people but you have a go at me even though you've basically just admitted that what I said was correct.

          On Calzaghe hate:

          "Calzaghe can't box, he slaps and is easy to hit."

          I take it you saw him against Hopkins then. How about against Lacy and Kessler, two of the best boxing performances of recent years, and both different too.

          I really hope Calzaghe does fight Pavlik, if he beats him it would be the biggest mass ownage this site has ever seen IMO.

            No need to. They are clearly incorrect but most who say things like that are obviously ******ed. Yours is a much more subtle type of nationalistic troll. More devious.

            As for your "points" umm, I'm pretty sure at lot of "Yanks" saw the Joe vs. Lacy fight at the very least. And since you don't know about Americans, I'll clarify: Not a lot of people like Hopkins. He's almost universally disliked by the average boxing fan, because of his style, his demeanor etc. He likes playing the villain. Your entire premise that because Calzaghe fought "our guy" well we ALL hate him now is just ridiculous.

            You want to know why the hate increased ON THIS FORUM? Because Calzaghe looked like **** against a guy who was old as dirt and had been fading badly in his previous fight. A guy who had never been known to have a problem with conditioning but suddenly was completely gassed after the mid rounds.

            You'll counter with the idea that Calzaghe did it to him by outworking him. Well if you watch that fight closely without blinders on, Calzaghe did outwork him obviously, but in the Olympic style. Tap, tap, tap tap tap. He never hurt him.

            Anyway just letting you know why probably a lot of people hate Calzaghe on here, if that's what you see. Probably has more to do with his performance against a guy who honestly, he should have beaten much easier at that point in his career if he's the ATG that you and other pump him up to be.

            I could also go into how pumping him up constantly by certain posters in this and never shutting up about how great he is probably irritates US fans much the same way that abadger gets irritated by "insulated yanks", but I won't. Since that sort of stuff doesn't irritate me, just amuses me. But it's something you should probably note: that is, if you honestly want to try to be objective and without bias.

              Stop looking up big words online and putting them into your rants. With your puerile sense of "humor" and piss poor grammatical ability it just continues to make you look like a complete and utter moron.

                It wasn’t til the Brewer fight that I took Calzaghe ‘seriously’…I thought he took some big time shots from The Hatchet when they brawled but was smart to box his way for the remainder of the bout

                  I thought he showed a lot of heart in his stoppage of Mitchell. You can't deny the guy has heart in the ring. I think people forget that part.
