Joe Calzaghe was on of the true greats

[Deja_Vous]

Hopkins opinion ("Joe was the toughest opponent I've fought") > yours.

He said no such thing you sissy.

Anybody impressed by Sloppy Joe is a p*ssy,

[P4P GOAT]

Jones would dominate.

Not a prayer.

Joe is a Southpaw and Jones was not as good at fighting Southpaw's, he beat them but he was never himself against Southpaw's.

Lou Del Valle was the first guy to knock him down and he was a Southpaw.

Its close fight that favours Jones but its not a walk over for either. Name a fighter Jones beat who is better than Calzaghe outside of B Hop and Toney.

To the crackheads who know nothing about Calzaghe other then he is white and italian and know nothing about boxing except the skin color of a fighter. He beat 6-8 former world champions, and defended his belt 21 times. And in his first fight at lhw, beat the best lhw Hopkins. And its funny how racist ****s bring up the fact Hopkins is old but not the fact that Hopkins was rated the best lhw and hopkins has been beating up younger fighters for years. Yeah, racist crackheads try to discredit calzaghe. You know how many fighters have beaten 6-8 former world champions? Thats right very few, and you know how many fighters have successfully defended the belt 21 or more times in a row? Very few again.

great post

If Joe was good enough to beat a PRIME killer like RJJ he would have.!!

TRUTH is..

He understood his limitations and hid in wales behind his WBO ****-strap.


Joe fought the LOSER of an elimination bout..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the biggest p*ssy move in boxing's long history.

That is like saying if Jones was good enough to beat Liles,Eubank,Collins,Darius then how come he didn't?

Dude took on the best 168 in the division not so long back. Get a grip.

[Deja_Vous]

Who was the loser of the elimination bout?

Charles Brewer.

He was supposed to fight Echols..the guy that won.

Everybody except Joe is required to fight the WINNER of elimination bouts.

I can't understand how people can **** on Calzaghe. The guy has fought all-comers for over a decade. He's prevailed in the face on some very stiff tests (Kessler, Hopkins & Reid - who is highly underrated). He works hard in the ring and gives the crowd plenty of entertainment. His chin is superb and his powers of recovery after a big punch are nothing short of astonishing. His technique is highly unusual but incredibly effective. I don't think I've seen as ADAPTABLE a boxer in many years (he can fight inside, outside, to the body and head, his footwork is exceptional as is his timing). He's super-fit (how many 35yos are able to throw 1,000 punches per fight?) and his face has barely a scratch on it.

If you're looking for opinions don't bother with the usual group of NSB bull****ters and their rabid anti-Calzaghe diatribe. Read and listen to those of the people Calzaghe fought and beat - Jones, Kessler, Hopkins & Eubank. These guys know a good fighter when they see one and all are of the opinion that Calzaghe is the goods.

Joe has earned the right to be labelled one of the greats. I certainly don't begrudge it him.

nationality and skin color. simple as that.

[P4P GOAT]

Yes. American people hate Joe because he is not an American media creation.

Example......Lacy,Pavlik.
