Joe Calzaghe was on of the true greats

[QUOTE=adietheforestfa;5350116]

So why when offered fights with Froch, did Calzaghe choose, Evans Ashira, Bika and Manfreeeedo instead?? and then no sooner does Froch become mandatory for Joes Title, Joe vacates???????

There seems there is something Joe doesnt fancy about fighting Froch

get it straight, Calzaghe didn't choose his opponents, Warren did.

Anyone who was an unbeaten World Champion for well over a decade and unified his division, before moving up a weight division and taking on the then best Pound-for-Pound American on the planet (Bernard Hopkins), deserves some credit.

For me, he is one of Britain's top five greatest ever fighters.

I know a lot of people don't like to acknowledge the achievements of White fighters (and that is perfectly fine) but the man was one of the greatest boxers of his generation.

We know why you hate Joe, Minion...

Same reason you hate Wlad, Vitali, etc.

I dont hate them. Just their career's are fraudulent. Well except Vitali.

Vitali is a good HW, and can compared to some of the best, imo. He is at least leagues above Wlad imo

Wlad is, imo, NOT.

As for Joe, im not even going to waste mt time

So a man who was a World Champion for over a decade and who beat the likes of Kessler, Eubank, Lacey, and Hopkins is not worth discussing?

Let's not forget that he unified his division and thus became the Undisputed Champion of the World.

Also, the fact that he fought the very best man at Light-Heavyweight says a lot for him.

When they beat them is the key ,, you just rate another notch on the handle , you are like the media running on name value , he never fioght any prime fighters other than Kessler ,,, and it was a great win by the way my opinion of Joe was raised quite a lot after that fight , but dont quote old fighters that would have beat Joe in their prime , Joe bushwhacked them at the right time .

Lacy was nothing , a hype job !

Anybody with even the slightest boxing knowledge knows that Calzaghe IS an All-Time great! Even JC's haters know this but they just wish their hate, racism and their own insecurities could change history but it can't (regardless of how many hate/troll posts they make) and Joe will go into the Hall Of Fame as an undefeated great fighter and probably the best of his generation, DEAL WITH IT!!!

WTF. B-hop was 43 years old and past his prime when he fought calzaghe. any reasonable calzaghe fan knows that.

why because you say so. The results say otherwise
