Why do SOME yanks have such a vendetta against Calzaghe?

[The Hammer]

Now im not gonna be as narrow minded as alot of people on here are by judging people from the states all the same, as everyone has different views on boxers regardless of where they're from,.....

But for the vast majority on these forums who 'Calzaghe bash' , it makes it so obvious how it fustrates u that he is undefeated, and a fair possibility he will beat Jones.

E.G. this thread = http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=217794

set up just to say how desperately they wont Calzaghe to lose, because they PRESUME people will be smug about it., its funny how there already grasping at straws to put him down IF he wins

The honest truth: it's a kind of jealousy. There is no fighter as good as Joe in the US right now.

If Joe were American and black, the same people would love him.

HAHAAA. Yes they all managed to run from the might scary Joe Calzaghe. Good one.

Where did I say that? You're doing that thing again where you invent things in your head born out of rage and paranoia.

Yes Tunney. Everyone in America loves a black guy. Good call on that one.

calzaghe isn't well known by the american public, so how do we have a 'vendetta' with calzaghe? .

Do americans love black people more than white people? Ive got a lot of friends who tell me the exact opposite all the time. My posts I read dont hate on Joe personally he just gets more credit from some people than he deserves. I hear Roy get hated on all the time because he never fought anyobdy and look at his resume compared to Joes.

Tunney is big on white nationalism, so he thinks everyone loves blacks more than whites. Or whatever is bothering him this week.

I dont think people have a "vendetta" against Calzaghe. It's just that they're not impressed with his competition. He's fought and beat some DECENT fighters but the way he talks he thinks he's some kind of legend. Don't get me wrong.. He's a good fighter. But I just don't agree that he's a great fighter. His resume is suspect. Now he's fighting and obviously shot Roy Jones Jr who in fact he said He'd NEVER fight and he admitted himself that Roy Jones was shot in his own book! If he really wants to prove his greatness why not fight Chad Dawson who is the man at lightheavyweight. Why fight Jones? A guy who just fought a bloated Tito Trinidad and couldnt even knock him out. Calzaghe is a god in his own mind. And I don't think Calzaghe should be mocking Pavlik for looking bad against Hopkins because Calzaghe looked HORRIBLE against Sakio Bika. Sakio Bika is no Bernard Hopkins. Everyone has an off night.

i liked and respected calzaghe until recently with all the ****** **** he's been saying recently by him and his dad and by what frank warren said about him. i've lost a ton of respect for him i'm really hoping rjj beats him decisively and takes away his 0
