Why do some people hate Calzaghe? (The real poll not that biased one one here now.)

[Derranged]

All I have to say is that Hopkins lost.

because hes white and not american ... if a black american fighter had his style and atitude of joe calzaghe ..ud all be on his **** ... calzaghe is a great figther ... cmon do u honestly think dawson deserves a shot at him ?? 175 is not his true weight class .. and dawson is not on his level... calz would make him look ****** like he did jones ..then you "fans" would bring in a another name .. (make me sick)...same thing with mayweather .. you wil not be satisfied untill they lose .. calzaghes the best right now .. he just happens 2 be white and not be american ..get over it ..!!..

yeah, that is the deciding factor for some but not most people.

and also hopkins is 43 years old, knocked down calzaghe and gave calzaghe the toughest fight of his entire career, which makes you wonder what would've happend if hopkins was in his prime.

I don't hate Joe, I don't even dislike him. I just think it's laughable that he walks around saying "I just beat two legends", as if they were still the fighters that made them legends. He talks as if he just beat both Hop and Roy at their best when there's no way he believes that. And most of his fans on here are idiots but that really has nothing to do with Calzaghe himself.

theres nothing wrong with joe.. hes done what hes done and thats fine... its the people that pump him and his resume to be the greatest... that is the problem.

First off, Hopkins didn't give Calzaghe the toughest fight of his career! Robin Reid did.

And secondly prime Hopkins ducked Calzaghe in 2002.

Carry on.

the real reason is not listed on there.

Hes white.

Non whites get their panties in a twist when a white fighter beats their boys.
They don't like it one bit.

Being mixed myself, I am as unbiased as they come. I hang around all types of people and believe me blacks don't respect white champions at all, their racism is what drives me to have mostly white friends. I cannot stand blacks in general and I am 25% black myself.

The same 43 year old who punished Kelly Pavlik who beat the man who beat Hopkins.

yeah, but I thought it was a rule on boxingscene forums that triangle theories don't work?
