      I think most of the people who hate on him are bitter black posters who can't stand to see a white figther rated highly.

      I hate bringing up race, because often racial politics are over exaggerated on this site, but there is truth to it.


      Either that or just Hopkin delusionals who actually believe he was robbed in that fight
      I see where you're coming from, and it's never an easy thing to bring race into the conversation, and since we can't know for sure, it's best to stay away. (I'm 100% cracker though.)

      We've heard all the arguments for and against Calzaghe, so there's no need to post any of them here. I just happen to be part of the group that thinks he's a hypejob.

          Well yeah.......

          a green 25 year old prospect Andre Ward beat Kessler way worse than a experienced and prime Calzaghe did. so offcourse that makes Calzaghes win less good, the same way if Mikkell Kessler had beaten Andre Ward it would have made his victory alot better.

          a C level bum KO'ed Roy Jones Jr in one round and it took Calzaghe 12 rounds to slap his way to a decision. That fight proved that Roy Jones Jr was shot and only a shell of his former self. Calzaghes and Greens victory's over Roy Jones Jr means NOTHING. they are about as meaningfull as Trevor Berbicks win over Muhammad Ali. If Roy Jones would have beaten Green and then Hopkins again it would have made Calzaghes win over him alot better.

                Yeah I have been told multiple times by butthurt Calzaghe fans that I'm either black and hates white people or that I'm an American who never gives credit to european fighters. It's laughable, to them it's like If I don't like Calzaghe that means I hate all white european fighters.
