Why do some people hate Joe Calzaghe?

[tommy boo boxer]

Thats pathetic. You choose not to like somebody because of the way their fans act.

Seriously, how old are the people on this site? Does anybody have an education above high school level?

wait, i dont think your getting it... read between the lines first please. FYI i like JC as a person hes entertaining to me... as for style, no, it sucks... but please try to imagine, if you didn't know of someone but you keep having his name thrown in your face as the GOAT... piss please... im entitled to say otherwise."peeleft:

For one thing his HORRIBLE UGLY SLAPPY style! Its Awfull!!!
He makes me CRINGE with his showboating it really dont suit him, he just dont pull it off!
He never knows when to stop either, he takes it to a disrespective level, against Roy Jones that was wrong Can u imagine Rocky Marciano mocking Louis or Holmes ridaculing Ali? H e took it too far against the aged great, the aged great who was pissing of blood no less!

Also his career has been a joke, after 11 years or whatever he has a BUM in Jeff Lacy, an older Eubank, an unproven Kessler and two Relics in Hopkins and Jones, Jones being shot and Nard beating him IMO on his record! Not good enough

Exactly my point...to you timba.

1. Jones did that to everybody he fought. Hopkins cheated and deserved to be played with. I did not see any theatrics in the Kessler fight.
2. He is not my boy. I do not know him personally. Why do you refer to him as 'my boy'? If anybody argues that Calzaghe has done nothing for the sport of boxing then they do not have a clue.
3. Cotto got his ass beat by the guy who got his ass beat. Froch has not proved anything yet. He is only a world champion because Calzaghe vacated.
4. Hopkins is a racist.
5. And no, I don't think Calzaghe is a big dog, but I can respect the guys achievements in the ring. I don't hate any boxer like the the twats on this site do. Thats just kinda lame, and immature.
7. Yeah, because everybody who breaks their hands, breaks them in exactly the same way. Injuries effect everybody the same.

timba...you're making some pretty fine excuses for some guy you don't really fancy...You British?...j/k man

1. Jim Lampley called him out on the showboating with Kessler, that Steward had to vouch for his personality. Jim Lampley as called him out on his lack of respect in the ring during Jones's fight...mind you Jones never really showboated...@ least not like Calzaghe anyway. (Note:Jim Lampley is a cool dude unlike Cal-slappy)
2. I really don;t know what Calzaghe has done for boxing...none of his fights are memorable...we all know his record is most padded, he fought from a little pool of fighters until recently when he started picking on old men overseas. The record stands out, but under further scrutiny....it's a dud, brah.
3. What does getting your ass beat have to do which degrading boxing...infact, i don;t see how that's relevant...and if that's your point...the greatest boxers ever got beat too. the fact is...he runs his mouth like a runaway locomotive...if you;re chicken, say so and retired...he's not so confident about his own record, he has to make up excuses for leaving the sport...PATHETIC.
4. Hopkins is a racist?...well, that's a matter of opinion, but you don;t deny a boxing legend a rematch...infact, you thank him for it....the point is...Calzaghe needs to watch his mouth...before he goes around scolding people and calling them names. ATGs and HOFs don't do that.
5. Well mind you...Not just this site..Most Americans despise Calzaghe...Many in the UK as well...that's gotta tell you something.
6. RESOLVED.
7. oh man up...He's a boxer...a prize fighter....you break a hand, it still hurts...it's your livelihood...if not, quit....I'm pretty sure Mayweather injuries are probably worse than Calzaghe..but regardless...a broken hand is a broken hand...he wouldn't still be fighting if he wasn;t good to go...same goes for mayweather...BUT MAYWEATHER DOESN'T SLAP PEOPLE TO DEATH...HE BOXES...CALZAGHE SLAPS..and slaps...and slaps...pit-pat, pit-pat...WTF!!!
