Don't people see, there's always "someone" out there.

[Sparked_1985]

[QUOTE=blackirish137;4717844]the difference is, there are a lot more 'someones' out there for Calzaghe than other fighters. and not even because the Light Heavyweight division is stacked or anything, because its not. but look at the Light Heavyweight rankings and tell me how many of those guys Calzaghe fought. uh huh.

you can even look through old rankings of the 168 division and count how many of Calzaghe's opponents have EVER been in the top 10, let alone top 10when he fought them. it not too many, considering how long he stayed there. and 168 wasnt even considered a good division during his title rein to begin with. it was as bad as the Middleweight division is now.

and most the people that thought Lacy would easily beat Calzaghe were just underrating Calzaghe...the guy looked like he was just sitting on his titles Zsolt Erdie style, getting his hands constantly injured. most people probebly hadnt even seen any of his recent fights leading up to the Lacy one.[/QUOTE]

or maybe they did, Calzaghe looked **** against Salem and Ashira.

Calzaghe was always the man to beat at 168 for years. He just didn't necessarily have the money, nor did the Germans have the ambition.

Credit for that, most people on this forum don't see that you don't have to be a fan of a fighter to see that a fighter is great.

I try and keep it real Joe you know me ..hehe

Nah you can never deny or your a hata
like him or not same applies with any fighter....

[AztecWanker]

****** thread.

Calzaghe had THE RING LHW Belt. the belt.


Its as easy as that. If Calzage wasn't going to rematch Hopkins or Kessler, then there is no one left to fight but Chad Dawson as a light heavyweight. OF course, if he was going to continue to fight. Its as simple as that.

Joe wouldn't fight Dawson, Chad aint old enough

True, about the Lacy comment, Calzaghe was highly underrated.

I think his opponents over his 21 defences are underrated though, some of them are bums, even Calzaghe will tell you this, Tocker Pudwill lmao. But people can be very hard on this, too hard. They were "good" defences, not great, but good.

ahh ima slap yo ass fool

eaztside walez mofucker.sheep shagger pozze ride over you, u ****in trickass bustah.

[optkliluzn]

UR an idiot....you just contradicted your damn self....who are YOU to say Dawson isnt on the same level that Lacy was.....Dawson has 2 belts did Lacy? Give me a damn break Calzaghe fought bumbs his whole life EXCEPT Kessler.....Hop and RJJ are over the hill....dont give me that Pavlik B.S. that would be like saying Calzaghe was nothing after fighting at heavyweight he should have never fought at that weight? Bhop would NEVER be able to make middle weight anymore.

This is not a thread bragging about Calzaghe's win over Lacy, and how people got it wrong, but just how fighters perceptions on here change, does ANYONE think this of Lacy now? No, Dawson isn't even rated as highly as Lacy was then.

Remember Pavlik, hell people's perception on here have changed of him over the last 4/5 months.

You guys don't get it, Calzaghe beats Dawson, Dawson is nothing he was too green. Fight Froch caus he just smashed Jermain Taylor. Calzaghe beats Froch, Froch was a bum, he only had 2 world title fights.


Look at the views on Lacy, when the fight with Calzaghe was supposedly on.



















"Lacy by TKO or Decision, hopefully he takes on Beyer or Kessler next and unifies the whole division"

Calzaghe beat Lacy, Kessler beat Beyer, Calzaghe beat Kessler.

But still nothing.

I'm done with defending Calzaghe on here now guys, you can't and won't change my opinion that he is Britain's Best Ever.

I'm done with it, all further hater comments towards me about Calzaghe will be ignored.

Joe Calzaghe, 46-0-0. A True Boxing Great.

yea, they werent much worse than Hopkins' title defences, although if you do compare them in depth Hopkins has an edge.

or maybe they did, Calzaghe looked **** against Salem and Ashira.

oh gosh, he sure did look bad in those fights. especially against Salem. one of the worst performances of his career.

odd that he turned it around completely and was at his best of his career against Lacy and Kessler.

because Lacy himself wasnt always looking that great either. him struggling against Sheika, Vanderpool, and even Richard Grant should have made it clear that he was pretty weak against anyone who boxed him.

Did I say the same level?

I said Dawson isn't rated as highly as Lacy was back then.

There's a big difference.

[Joeyzagz]

Calzaghe has proven himself 3 times over with the Lacy(Prime), Kessler(Prime) and Hopkins(good) wins. He can walk away from the sport with his head held high.

The folks out there accusing him of "ducking" are delusional. The only thing more sick than Calzaghe haters wishing for Joe to lose his zero, are the maniac Vitali supporters who want Lewis to come back at age 44.

There is always someone out there, true. But once a fighter passes the age of 35, he can retire whenever he wants imo.
