People hate Calzaghe because he wasted years fighting average to above average fighters and waited too long to make an impact. They also hate him because he beat two atg's at the end of their careers. The biggest problem is people don't want to admit that BHOP was still a great fighter when Zaghs beat him. Last and certainly not least, they hate his hideous style of punching.
There are only a small number of ignorant people who hate him for his skin color, although they do exist on this forum.Comment

Please. Didn't Calzaghe defend a vacant belt for 10 years before he really stepped up? I think The Blow is a level above Cotto because he's never lost, and really only had one close fight in his best division, but he is not without faults or criticism.Comment

Joe is done and gone. He was a great champion.
I dont hate Joe so why are you generalizing and why are you bringing up the same topic in a different guise?
Not every one hates Joe so get over it.
Make a poll and see who hates Floyd more than they hate Joe and I bet that Floyd wins, but we dont hate Floyd because he is black and those who hate Joe dont hate him because he is white but because they feel he did not faced those elite fighters who were pricing them selves out during negotiations lol and that is true.Comment

Well it is true to a certain extent.
Bernard Hopkins is perceived as some kind of throwback fighter, that fought everyone and anyone in the US (media included), whereas Joe Calzaghe is that guy that "fort bums in briten".Comment
