Why does Calzaghe get bashed for fighting in Europe...

[Marijuana]

Calzaghe fought an almost prime Hopkins. I would say Calzaghe was actually more out of prime than Hopkins and yet he still posted convincing scores

Haha. Americans.

Calzaghe > North American fighters.

This is the type of inbred that we are arguing with here folks.

By the way, I'm Ukrainian.

Some of them fights you've highlighted are amongst the worst decisions in Boxing history.

It's missing, Dirrell-Froch

[Shattered Jaw]

He was 36, which if I did the math correctly, was 7 years younger than Hopkins.

If he was so old, why was he fighting at all? To fool the public into believing he was great? So that 50 years from now people will look at his resume and say "Damn, he beat Hopkins and RJJ?"?

You should really get over the whole "Why doesn't Slappy get any respect angle?" Calzaghe will never get respect because he fought hometown bums and only "stepped up" in his mid 30s vs. two guys that were 10 years past the time Calzaghe should have fought them.

If Mayweather, with a resume of Corrales, Castillo 2x, DLH, Hatton, and Marquez, gets zero credit, do you really think a bum filled resume like Calzaghe deserves any credit?

LMFAO.

Hatton at 147 and DLH at 35 years old and after a decade of fighting a whos who of boxing are great wins (Ditto with Marquez who was like DLH except a stone overweight)? Get out of here.

Cazaghe's destruction of Lacy and Kessler and SD of Hopkins is better than Floyd's entire resume combined.

I laugh at the ****s that say Calzaghe proved himself.

He beat a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins by split decision.
He beat a 39 year old Roy Jones by unanimous decision.

Joe was old himself, close to the same age as Jones, but still managed to really dominate for 11 rounds.

Hopkins was 43, but still very capable, as we saw in his next fight with Pavlik.

He was put on his ass in the 1st round of both fights.

The Jones kd wasn't a legal one, it was cause by a forearm to the bridge of the nose. The Hopkins kd was a clever but illegal punch-push combination, and so shouldn't have counted either.

If this proves anything, it is that Calzaghe would of been proved average if he had actually fought the best in his prime.

No, an average fighter wouldn't have wide decisions over prime Lacy, Kessler, and Eubank, nor KO wins over Mitchell, Sheika (who had just defeated Johnson) and Brewer.

An average fighter wouldn't have been able to dominate even a past-prime Jones.

Marquez at the weight he thought him deserves no credit.


People give mayweather no credit because of the who he is and the fact that he hasn't chased or thought the best in his division.

OK, I called you an inbred, now I am going to call you a product of **** sex.

You just discredited Mayweather's win vs. DLH because DLH was 35. Listen, ****sexual, Hopkins WAS 43, Jones WAS 39.

One of the worst decisions in Boxing history? Not even close!

What's Lacy's best win? Robin Reid? LOL. Did Eubank ever win another fight after fighting Slappy?

Kessler is a good win, a prime undefeated champion. Now add 3-5 more people like Kessler to your resume and you have a claim to ATG status. Without it, you record is filled with 40 year old Americans and Mario Veit's.
