Why don't people acknowledge Joe Calzaghes Undefeated record?

[Mooshashi]

Dude's in the boxing HOF...ok Froch didn't vote for him but a lot of knowledgable people did.

ATG? Maybe not but pretty damn good.

Because he lost to Hopkins.

^^^Exactly^^^

Sounds like you have some issues...

telling the truth today is an "issue"

[nacho daddy]

Virile Welshmen have always intimidated Americans

He is Italian

Ducked way too many opponents, hideous style, got a clear as day gift decision against Robin Reid, another against B-Pops - just baffles me how so many say Joe won that fight yet don't think I've ever seen one scorecard showing their reasoning and literally was on the receiving end of no less than 15-20 ridiculously premature hometown stoppage wins.

Average fighter that was insanely protected. Very good win vs undefeated Kessler but outside of that his resume is garbage.

I wonder what people here in America would think of Calzaghe if he was American. Like how high would they rate him.

As it stands any mention of Calzaghe to American boxing fans is met with a "meh whatever", but if he was one of our own, he'd probably be being discussed at this forum daily on where he ranks on the ATG list.

Mediocre fighter with $h!t resume who got a gift against Hopkins and if Hopkins would have shut his mouth and not say that he wasn't going to lose to a white boy he would have got the win.

Kovolev is literally the only dude that could possibly beat a Joe calzaghe..

Calzaghe would outpoint ward, Stevenson, froch, ggg if he was in today's era

He sucks and he was garbage. Yeah. You sound like a real knowledgeable boxing fan with a lot of sense.

I'm not even a Calzaghe fan but if you truly believe that the dude was a bum, then you're a f**king boxing ******/reject/casual that should have your boxing card revoked for the rest of your natural life.
