Why do people underrate Calzaghe on here?

At least Calzaghe was a real boxer not like Golovkin!

 

Paulie gets credit because he's been willing to take on the toughest opposition available in their own backyards through his entire career. I've never seen a poster argue he was a better fighter than Calzaghe though.

 

If he was black and from the US he would have no choice but to fight some of his contemporaries while they were still great.

 

really>? i thought he was vastly overrated in this forum not under rated!

 

This Calzaghe avoided Froch nonsense is laughable, gotta love the revisionism on here

 

He spend 90% of his career fighting poor opposition in his country . Then finally comes to america and fights 2 legends past their prime .

Loses to Hopkins and then gos on to dominate Roy Jones .

Its not that we UNDERRATE Calzaghe .

(We) The majority of the boxing world just dont RESPECT Calzaghe .

 

They weren't huge draws, but they were involved in big fights. Hop fought Oscar and Tito etc. Roy fought Toney, Tarver and Ruiz. I get your point, but they didn't need to travel like Joe did.

 

You know why Joe Calzaghe will never get the credit he deserves? Because he isn't Hispanic, Latino, or Asian. End of thread.

 

He was the guvnor.

 

yup if it wasnt for willie pep being 1/26th aztec hed have never gotten the credit he deserved. ben leonard as well

 

Clazaghe amazed me against Lacy and he was awesome vs Kessler

I beleive he is a great fighter and history will be kind to his legacy

although old he still beat Hops and Jones....amazing fighter

 

Boxing science proves how most roads lead to Calzaghe

Calzaghes legacy is so great, that most of the so called top fighters around his division and even today have a loss that dates back to the name Calzaghe.

I had to find out how true it really is, that all roads lead to Calzaghe and take this science to the greatest of levels.

My findings will truly blow the minds of the ESB minions.

I decided to look at some of the considered all time greatest fighters to see if Calzaghe really is the greatest and just look at this -
