If Calzaghe had been American

About 6-7 of Johnson's losses were questionable and should have been draws at the least.
Orlando Salido has 11 losses something like that, and that didn't stop him from owning Lopez, a guy that every one was saying was gonna steamroll Salido, and even I personally thought Lopez was gonna decision Salido. We underestimate boxers with lots of losses but you have to know the true story behind every loss to really judge the fighter. Salido hadn't been stopped since 1998, Johnson hadn't been stopped since the Hopkins fight which was a corner stoppage, and Johnson's only TKO loss, back in the 90s.Comment

Yes, Glen Johnson is the most robbed fighter since the old days.About 6-7 of Johnson's losses were questionable and should have been draws at the least.

calzaghe was 36 when he retired but now you are pretending/lying and saying he was 38? roy jones is over 3 years older than calzaghe but now you are pretending/lying and saying he's 6 months older. i guess you have to lie to yourself and ignore reality to be a calzaghe fan.Comment

I think if Calzaghe was an American, he would have never gotten away with having such a crappy resume.
Americans don't like Calzaghe not because he isn't American. Look at Pac and how huge he is in America.
And a lot of American fans still question Pac since a few of his opponents were not at their best when he fought them, but Calzaghe fought opponents who even more obviously past it and they are called big wins by his fans.
And look at an American fighter like Floyd. I mean he's fought and beaten way better fighters than Calzaghe, yet his resume still leaves much to be desired from American fans.
And even a lot of prime fighters Calzaghe faced were already beaten decisively in previous fights. Guys like Brewer, Mitchell and Shieka are not big wins at all. Not that they were any good to begin with.
Eubank, Jones, and Hopkins were all past it.
Besides Hopkins (who arguably beat Calzaghe), Kessler is easily the best name on his resume. And he's not even a future hall of famer.Last edited by Swag Hustla; 05-06-2011, 04:53 PM.Comment

Exactly. Theres a good chance that Joe could have lost 8 rounds and still got the nod. He wasn't even willing to take that risk.
Johnson is a very good fighter and I'm looking forward to him winning the super six.Comment
