Calzaghe: "Oscar not a real fighter!"

[Pullcounter]

One day after declaring that the sport of boxing is dying, light heavyweight kingpin Joe Calzaghe ripped into fellow superstar Oscar De La Hoya. "De La Hoya may be two years younger than me, but I am a hungry guy," Calzaghe told the Western Mail. "He has got a lot more money than me as well. That's the big difference in this. He really didn't need to keep fighting. De La Hoya hasn't been a real fighter for years. You can't fault the guy because he has been a great fighter in the past and made so much money from the sport. But, realistically, he has been a part-time boxer for years. That showed last weekend against Pacquiao who was so hungry to win that fight. Unfortunately for De La Hoya he just fell apart at the hinges after the first few rounds. He just didn't have anything there. So hopefully that was his last fight, I don't think he is going to fight again."

just retire and STFU already joe

So Calzaghe the p4p #3 has no freedom as a top level boxer, to give his view on a recent big event? He beat Hopkins whom was a top 5 p4p guy and has dominated everyone else either side of facing Calzaghe. Don't compare th guys they're totally different and were in totally different divisions and scenario's. People are entitled to freedom of speech.

None freedom whatsoever, no credence, no nothing. He lost freedom of speech when he decided to fight Jones.

Thats funny, because eventhough he might not a be a full time fighter, he at least had the balls to fight threats, not to mention 2 #1 pound for pound champs, and i dont even care for De La Puta(and i'm defending the guy), Joe go choke yourself......you cant even come close to holding de la putas g-string

He gets his freedom of speech when he beats a LEGIT fighter convincingly. He got a gift against Hopkins and slapped a man to death that looks like Roy Jones Jr. Who has he dominated thats actually GOOD or GREAT before old man Jones? dont say Hopkins because he didnt DOMINATE. Dont say Lacy because Lacy isn't nothing and nobody will see that Win on his resume in ten years and say. OMG he beat Lacy.. Because Lacy is ****.
