Respect for Calzaghe

[SquareCircle]

i hate to do it to my countryman but im going with calzaghe too

[mic573]

he fights bums, beats bums, fakes injuries, ducks fighters, pads his record, slaps his punches, and fights once or twice a year?

if you respect a guy who does that, i guess anybody can get ur respect.

cal***gy hasnt fought a decent opponent his whole career and when he finally does against lacy, everyone will see just how big of a joke cal***gy is.

To be fair Lacy hasn't fought stellar opposition himself.

Take a look at some of thier common opponents

Joe Calzaghe

Omar Sheika in 2000- TKO 5
Robin Reid in 1999- Unanimous Decision

Jeff Lacy

Omar Sheika in 2004- Unanimous Decision
Robin Reid in 2005- TKO 8

I would say Joe Calzaghe has faced the fresher guy in thier common opponents.

lacy's been around for a little over 5 years. cal***gy has been around for a little over 13 years. and it takes him 13 years to finally step up his level of competition?

joke's been around a lot longer than lacy and has more opportunities for "big name" fights. don't expect lacy to have the greatest resume at 28 years old and being a pro boxer for only 5 of those 28 years.

And that's really all there is to it.

People are comparing records....that's ridiculous. Lacy's already fought better competition up to this point in his career as opposed to Calzaghe did.

well thats not true is it?, who has Lacy fought that is better than anyone Joe has fought.

Sheika was alot more dangerous when Joe fought him as was Reid.

read my statement above.

I fully understand why people would hold this view and you have every right to think this. But Joe will win you over come March 4th. When Joe wins you WILL show him some respect otherwise you will have no credibility.

Yes my friend, I will respect Cal if he wins.

[Crumble]

People lay the blame very heavily at Joe's doorstep. I misread RWK's post actually, but generally Frank Warren fighters get moved slowly anyway, but its not like Joe is a ***, in the ring he is the man and he will be whoever you put him in there with Tocker Pudwill or Jeff Lacy he will stand and fight and entertain, Joe missed the great era of super middles, he caught the death rattle with a fight against Eubank, but since there have been no superstars in the division, also Joe doesnt have the same kind of backing as Ricky Hatton for example if he did fights with Jones and Hopkins would have happend, he should have gone to America for sure but its not to late. If Calzaghe get owned I will admit that maybe he isn't a great fighter but he won't and I won't have to.

[medium-deek]

Yes my friend, I will respect Cal if he wins.

Now there is another resonable man. Now, you think anyone can get that Saint bloke to do the same? Nah. He is as stuborn as a mule.

[Crumble]

Did you misunderstand what I typed?

yep acknowledged lol

It's called reading comprehension. When Joe had 21 fights....he fought nothing but Garbage men.

yep but he was alot younger than Lacy, and Frank Warren builds everyone up at least 20-0 before he puts them in with anyone live.
