    :deal his fanboys are so desperate they need a new tread every ****ing day saying how underrated he is and how he's the GOAT if he was so ****ing great you wouldnt need to say it all the time, you dont hear SRL,SRR,JCC and countless other truly great fighters fans constantly trying to convince people how great they were because they dont need to THEY ARE GREATS.

    He is somewhat underrated.

    It is hard to say how he would have done if he had went over to America at an earlier stage and hunted top names by moving up and down in weight and so on. Probably some losses and some wins. I think he could have done guys like Hopkins and Taylor, but been beaten by Jones and some other very hard hitters.

    Dont think he would have been exposed, as some posters like to believe. I think they just freak out about how he cashed in late in his career. Some statements about him are pretty dumb and seems emotional.

    Calzaghe is overrated. When his biggest wins are Lacy, Kessler and a 43 year old Hopkins then you know he's overrated.

    Overrated. In his supposed prime Calzaghe's was struggling with fighters like Reid, Starie and Thornberry. This was his level, anything above and he would have lost.

    He had a little fulirish at the end, but Lacy was all hype, Kessler was solid but nothing special and the Hopkins fight could have gone against him.

    But just because Calzaghe retired undefeated people seem to think he was unbeatable, which is rubbish.

    Taylor did better (twice) against a younger Hopkins, yet people don't shoot their load over that in the same way Calzaghe fans do over Calzaghe getting dropped and winning a SD against Hopkins.

    Calzaghe is without doubt a bona fide ATG. You can make an argument for him being top 20, I'm not saying he's the GOAT or anything. His detractors (a.k.a haters) are just bitter BHop fanboys, who can't accept they boy got beat. Calzaghe SD12 Hopkins, accept it and move on.

    one of the biggest ducks in esb history from peakgay :deal


    haters will always try to slur calzaghes name with ignorant, delusional, narrow minded opinion but the haters will never have a case because the facts are always stacked in calzaghe's favour :deal

    whilst toney was getting his ass kicked off the likes of dave tiberi, thadzi, griffin, drawing with sanderline williams, and taking banned anabolic steroids, calzaghe was utterly flawess :yep

    whilst jones was taking banned anabolic steroids and getting sparked out by B-level fighters like johnson and tarver, calzaghe was utterly flawess :yep

    whilst hopkins was losing to clinton mitchell, diving out of the ring against allen and dawson, drawing with mercado, getting his ass kicked twice by taylor, and ducking calzaghe for a career high payday in 2002, calzaghe was utterly flawess :yep

    its just too much to take for the haters :lol:

    calzaghe got knocked down by shot to **** roy jones - fact.

    Calzaghe has been hiding and ducking every credible boxer ever since he started boxing because he know's if he got in with a good legitimate puncher he'd be laid out on the canvass in no less than 2 rounds with that terrible glass jaw.

    roy jones got knocked down by lou da valle :lol:

    many boxing experts tipped jones to beat calzaghe because they knew that calzaghe had become feather fisted because of his persistant had troubles. this was to be a fight that would be purely decided by boxing skills and roy jones had never lost a fight on boxing skills before, it was purely because he had a glass jaw :deal

    the pair fought it out 12 rounds purely by skills and the gulf in class was enourmous. calzaghe "lacyied" roy jones junior :deal
