Why Won't People Respect Joe Calzaghe?

His undefeated record is toilet paper in my book the way he shamelessly avoided Glen Johnson.
Joe's a good fighter, but he isn't this deity of a boxer you UK crazies make him out to be. He's most likely a HOF lock in that dreadful SMW division, but that's it. He played his pro career too safe. The confidence problems his former promoter spoke of, the wanting to pull out of fights.. that's going to be the tale of his career if he doesn't man up.Last edited by Haglerwins; 01-10-2009, 02:50 PM.

That's a big compliment to Joe for doing that to Jones because no-one has EVER done that to him.
Jones looked lost, we felt sorry for him, people wanted him to quit in the 9th and onwards because we didn't want one of the best fighters ever to be embaressed by a Brit, but it happened.
Same with Lacy. He was our next big hope, our saviour. Then he goes over to UK and gets his ass handed by Joe, damn I remember sitting in my living room staring at my walls for 30 mins straight after the fight in shock at the way Joe demolished one of my favourite fighters at the time.
You can't expect us to love him after doing that to 2 of our best fighters.

Originally posted by andrewcuff View PostOkay brace yourself now, because you're probably going to be shocked by this: ROY JONES JR WAS SHOT WHEN CALZAGHE FOUGHT HIM AND THE VICTORY MEANS NOTHING.
There you are: OBJECTIVITY. I am a fan not a 'nuthugger'. I am capable of deducing which wins were good and which were not. Wins over Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Mitchell, Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins are good, legacy building victories. Wins such as RJJ/Manfredo etc are not.
How are wins over Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Lacy and Kessler Legacy building wins???????? you must be ******ed. So in years to come we will look at all them as TOP OF THE LINE CHAMPIONS that Calzaghe beat? You should take out Eubank, Reid, and Woodhall. What the hell do they got to do with his legacy. Kessler isn't even Proven. And Lacy is Just Lacy. Hopkins is his best win and he got a SD on a 43 YR. OlD version of hopkins.
