    Hate is a powerful word more like dislike

    I hate how Calzaghe fans hype his wins like they are something special.

    They call Lacy mini Tyson.
    They think Kessler beats everyone from 160 to 175.
    They ignore the fact that Eubank was past his prime and entered a 2 week weight draining regime because he was meant to fight at 175 and took fight at short notice.
    They think Hopkins does not have a case he won the fight

      solid list. I'm going with "ducks the prime fighters" he's doing that now by avoiding Dawson. He effectively did it his entire Career (ducked the best) , almost lost to Hopkins..that was a close one for Joe..he thought old B-Hop was past it! (random excuses made up to prevent a B-Hop Zaghe 2)

          Im welsh and and a big calzaghe fan but I know how annoying some of his fans can be but you get the same with mayweather and pac fans.

          Lacy was thought to be the next big thing at the time although its been proved since that he's pretty average. At the time that was a big win.

          Only time will tell how good the kessler win was as he hasnt fought anybody of any note since.

          Eubank was still a quality operator FACT !

          It was a close fight with hopkins and when I watched it live I thought Hopkins may have nicked it but when I watched it again I scored it to joe by a couple. Definetly a close fight!

            no offense, but Mayweather and Pac fans, as ******ed as they are..at least they are backing a solid fighter. Nobody doubts what Mayweather and Pac can do - It's not a racial thing ether, Pac is from the philipines. Both those guys walked through very tough competition, while Calzaghe ducked the best instead. Difference.

            Zaghe fans make delusional comments to hype up their fighter..nobody needs to hype up PBF or Pac. Proof is in the pudding

              I really dislike his fighting style. In my opinion I think most of his punches are illegal. They are semi open handed slaps, thus the reason for his so called tremendous hand speed. After he touched up Lacy I respected him because Lacy was calling him out, but now I don't because I don't think you can call yourself great when you finish your career by beating Manfredo (who), Old Ass Hopkins (which should have been a draw), ******ed Roy Jones (who is pretty old as far as his boxing reflexes), Kessler (who looked good for a minute, but couldn't stop teh onslaugth of illegal slaps) and refuse to fight Dawson or Pavlik, who he knows are young, strong and skilled enough to knock his ass out... Give the fans what we want hatton did. Everyone knew once hatton fought a real live oppenent what would happen and it did. Just like Joe knows what will happen if he fight one of these young guns. I know Kessler, Manfredo and Lacy were young, but they aren't on the level of Dawson or pose as much of a threat as Pavlik...

                I remember the media calling him a mini tyson.
                Kessler is a monster of a fighter
                I have no comment on Eubank except i loved the way he used to fight
                Hopkins got arsed kicked in for 11 rounds.
