Calzaghe deserves respect

"I was pounding the valleys at 2 in the morning, until well gone 3 in the morning every day for months: through the rain, snow and fog! While everybody else was tucked up warm in bed! Jeff Lacy was probably tucked up in bed, having completed his work on the treadmill at the health spa in sunny Florida. No comparison! I was prepared to go to war, he wasn't.. not truly. That was the difference. That's what it all came down to. He wasn't prepared for me, not truly. So he soon went into his shell and that allowed me to shine. He wasn't prepared for 25 years of dedication and frustration being unleashed onto his skull and face. If I didn't keep pumping my arms when I was running those mountains, I'd of died because it was so cold out there. I could feel it in my bones! That's the kind of condition I got myself in. It was my destiny, I had sacrificed my whole life for boxing and had a lot of frustration throughout my career and I'm telling you, he'd of had to kill me that night to beat me!"

yeah, right.

you made absolutely no point, if they were tough fights because he was down one hand yeah I can see where your coming from its tough to fight one handed but not when you face the people he has but to say he fought tough opposition I just proved to you he didnt.

You don't warrant a reply.

You don't warrant a reply.

mainly because you cant come up with one, you tried to make a point I bashed it and thats that, now get your thumb out your ass and reply and prove to me the point you were trying to make but were unable to because I'd love to hear it.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Your an idiot.

[rocco1252]

Your an idiot.

you have no reply other than disrespectful comments your the idiot my friend. Glad you know your Calzaghe and how tough his opposition was because noone else does.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Your post was so idiotic it's not even worth a reply, really isn't.

Calzaghe is a talented fighter. Whether he has fought the toughest comeptition in the past is not the question, the question is who will he fight in the future.

I still say that Calzaghe is a gifted boxer, however, he will need to stop slapping or cuffing his opponents when they get inside for me to fully appreciate him. Its like a defensive mechanism that goes off in his head when fighters get inside on him. If he flurries quickly, which is when he is slapping, then the other fighter is forced to take a defensive posture rather than an offensive one. While it is affective for him, slapping/cuffing is still a foul...........Rockin'

if you don't respect calzaghe's resume then blame jones and hopkins for ducking him

and rockin a calzaghe slap as you call it would knock you into a coma

you failed at your chosen career now go away

Nice job Rocco.

Calzaghe had a great win agaisnt Lacy, but it was one of his first Marquee accomplishments.

He now has the opportunity to capture all FOUR titles in his weight class in one of the most important fights at 168 in a decade, and is showing ZERO interest.

Calzage shouldn't be fighting anyone but Kessler. It's a unification fight screaming to be made, and there's no reason why it can't happnen.

A Taylor fight, or any other fight would be that much bigger if Joe was the unified Suppermiddleweight Champion of the world.

A calzaghe slap, I beg to differ.

If you dont like my opinions thats all cool. But there are many who walked away without winning a title. I stepped up and threw with some tough MOFOs, what have you done to make you so mighty to judge me?
Ive exchanged blows with world champions.
Notice that I said blows and not slaps............Rockin'
