Does anyone really like Calzaghe outside of the UK?

[Darkstar]

You must have loved that fight Dark.

I loved every last minute. Calzaghe fought very well and put himself on line.

I must say it wasnt my fav Jones fight though. I enjoyed Jones-Tarver 2 and Johnson-Jones as well.

I know that Joe has never really faced a bigger man with a stiff jab. Save your breath with Kessler, dont want to hear it.

You're garbage.
Quit crying like a *****.

If this is true you guys must only like him because hes white. I cant think of a single reason why people would favor a volume puncher that lands at a very low ratio. On top of a bad ratio, he lands very meaningless punches that rarely hurt or stun his opponent. His style is not pleasing.

That's 10 people including me who like Calzaghe and aren't from the UK, I'm not white either. His style against Hopkins wasn't pleasing but that's a mesh of styles it happens but his fights against Mitchell, Brewer, Eubank, Kessler are very exciting fights.

Anyways some people for some god knows reason like him. Fine but why don't you guys tell me why you like to see him fight. You know how I feel. Crisp effective punches>volume

I'm American and I hate the guy. The way he was acting last night, all ****y and ****. Some people tell me Roy Jones used to do it so why can't Calzaghe act like a complete prick? Well see, theres the difference. Roy acted like a prick because he mauled his opponents, crisp hard shots. Low ratio of punches thrown and he knew he would land about half of them. But Calzaghe, he just slaps the **** out of an opponent when they are on the ropes and thinks he is the ****. He throws an average of 1,000 punches a fight. So what? Well try and landing more of them. Jones landed 46% of his punches vs. Trinidad, can't you be ****y after that? Another high volume puncher, Antonio Margarito. Margarito in his last fight against Cotto he threw 637 and landed 237 total punches. The difference is, yes he might of thrown less than Calzaghe but every shot was significant and he ultimately stopped his opponent. Any fighter could throw 100+ punches (in this case slaps), but what good is it if only 20% of them will end in the end? You'd figure if someone threw that many punches they would of had their opponents out.

I know I'm gonna take some **** for this but its a legit question. Does anyone not from the UK actually like this guy.

To answer the question, I am not from the UK and have never been there.

Joe Calzaghe and the Klitschko brothers are my favorite fighters.

I find he has a unique, very complex boxing style and he's very entertaining to watch!

So what you can't enjoy both? Just because I like seeing alot of punches thrown doesn't mean I don't appreciate accuracy from a Prime Jones, Hopkins, Mayweather etc.

[Pride Of Arkans]

You hate the guy because he owns your best fighters in there own backyards
he played with Jones let him take free shots and then smiled at him
as if to say look you overrated yank you can never beat me
then he continued to bully him.

Lets not forget when he rapped Hopkins
Bernard was looking to quit in the 10th round
so Joe let everyone know who the ***** of the fight was by bumming him.
