Calzaghe was a Fraud

[daggum]

R u serious?

daggum have you seen that vid where slappy is throwing ten slaps per second on the heavy bag being timed. That's hilarious.

yes. there's a bit of calzaghe working the old heavy bag at 3:18. the bag had to be replaced after calzaghe's display of power.

Essentially, yes. You see, Hopkins was 43-years-old. And it's hard to fight someone like Calzaghe. He brings a high work rate, a fairly good chin, and slaps in bunches. He also had great stamina. So Hopkins did what he had to, en route to taking Slappy to school.

Hopkins got slapped and ***ed like a b1tch in the middle of the ring. He essentially had to cheat to prevent himself from being stopped. He essentially quit. He is better at taking knees than Miguel Cotto.

Oh, well Kessler went on to beat Froch, which is 10X better then anything he did pre-Calzaghe

Meanwhile Slappy needed a robbery to keep his 0 against Hopkins and then retired back to wales. Kessler basically ruined slappy, he was never the same after him!

Kessler has something Calzaghe could only ever dream of: he has a set of testicles. You see Kessler, he'll travel for dangerous big fights. Calzaghe was contracted to have his 3rd HBO fight in the states and Hopkins was the last man standing.

Otherwise it'll be a Eurostar train to Germany for Michael Veit or Cadburys Salami

Hopkins rejected a $3m dollar purse (a career highest) to face Calzaghe as early as 2002. Calzaghe chased and called him out for years. Hopkins then called Calzaghe out after the Winky fight and it got made instantly.

HOW can anyone watch Calzaghe at 3.18 in that video and take that charlatan seriously?

What is he even trying to do. I find it insulting to boxing

Oh so Hopkins decided to duck the fight but then take it at 43-years-old? That's a Calzaghe fans way of reason and logic right there.

No, Calzaghe took those from him in front of 50,000 people.

Those videos are hilarious. One of them is again time when Slappy had his hair dyed blonde. He called himself The Terminator lol

Well yeah because he had nowhere else to go at 43. In 2002, he was at middleweight hoping to fight blown up welterweights.
