Joe Calzaghe the most disrespected fighter on here, WHY?

[soul_survivor]

Any "fantasy fight" Joe seems to lose, i've seen him vs g-man, him vs ggg, him vs kovalev and the replies are all the same "calzaghe gets ko'd early"

I mean did people actually see him fight?

whats the deal then?

I came to this site thinking it was a proper boxing forum with intelligent fans and people who had at least boxed a bit too. I've found few intelligent fans, the vast majority of people here are just haters, they'll hate a fighter cos of nationality or race or some perceived sense of disrespect. They'll hate a fighter cos they wana come across as smart and anti-pop culture hipsters. It's pathetic.

I can probably count the number of fans that I respect here on one hand, seriously that's how bad it is. And if anyone thinks a hard hitting, limited brawler like Gman is gona stop Calzaghe early, they don't know **** about boxing.

36, post prime.36 isn't 29 prime, sure.

but 36 isn't 43. We can play the numbers game all night. they were faded. deal with it.

Joe was faded too. deal with it.

chad dawson was the best light heavyweight in the world at the time. Hopkins was just the biggest name in the division at the time. that's why Hopkins ducked dawson for all those years

Hopkins beat Antonio Tarver who was the recognised champion at Light Heavyweight.

At the same time, Fad Chad was getting beaten around the ring by Glen Johnson. So no, he was not the best LHW at the time. Stop revising history.

How many times did Joe fight outside of Europe? Twice?

It's only the nationalistic ******s who claim Calzaghe as some sort of boxing great because these wankers need something to hold on to as they can't admit that there are fighters on the other side of the Atlantic who are significantly greater than Calzaghe. It's nice to see some Brits on here being impartial and calling it like it is

Wards second and 3rd best wins are against a faded Kessler and a badly faded Bika....Calzaghe beat them both as you said, they were both in their primes and Calzaghe beat them both better than Ward did.

How many of calzaghe's title defences were against top contenders ranked by the WBC, WBA & IBF?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



LMFAO @ this geezer citing the alphabet soup rankings as if they were somehow credible.
