Did you know that CALZAGHE beat CHRIS BYRD in amateurs?

[IMDAZED]

The truth is, Joe Calzaghe is very underrated, partly because he's not American.

That's true. Can you believe those foolish Americans won't even list Pacquiao or Marquez on their pound for pound lists because of their bias? Crazy, right?

I disagree that Joe is a light puncher. Yeah, it seems like that to me on TV too, but then he's busting up kessler, Roy, Lacy and Bhop. I mean if Zaghe was such a light puncher Bhop with his granit chin would've demolished him. Yet, Bhop was cowering like a Morrad Hakkar and threw the fewest punches in a fight of his and set a record for most clinches in a fight. Also, went 3 times to the wrong corner and faked that he was hit low to rest up.

[pesticid]

You all gotta admit though, Zaghe was the hunter and Bhop was the prey. I've never seen Bhop being outmanned like that. He was just bullied. He tried his hardest at the weigh in and it backfired at him cause Zaghe didn't care one bit.

But if they were European and white with the same achievements, they'd be ranked lower. Joe did receive some grudging recognition on the p4p lists his last few years.

I remember listening to Al Bernstein's commentary on Showtime just before Calzaghe vs. Lacy. He is always very biased against European boxers, and really believed Joe was going to be KOed. I laughed at the tone of his voice as he was shocked at the way Joe was schooling Lacy.

When all else fails, just say the European boxer's opponent was no good?

Very predictable.
