Joe Calzaghe in retrospect

Yes, Joe was getting on himself, but he was 36 in Nov 2008, and would turn 37 the following March.

But although there was only 3 years between them, Roy had MANY more miles on the clock.

 

Kostya did to Chavez Sr, umm Holmes to Ali, Berbick to Ali, Norris to SRL, Camacho to SRL, let's see Joppy to Duran, do you see where I'm going with this? I don't think anyone is high fiving about any of the wins I just mentioned, except dickriding fanboy ****tards!! Calslappy vs Jones is in the same boat.

 

Yep, like he demolished Kessler, Bika, Reid, and Hopkins right?

 

And yet people dont see it m8.
Chronological and ring age are totally different.

 

Totally, hope you got my msg mate. I'll reply back to you soon. :good

Not half as irrelevant as your comical opinion.

 

...and if they did a rematch back then, hopkins would have made it more definite as he did against pascal.

 

There are a number of reasons why Calzaghe is ESB's favourite son

All roads always lead to Joe Calzaghe, every major victory in boxing leads back to Joe, he is top of the ESB food chain (much like the Team Elite Corporation), he is 46 and 0 - there was never a blueprint to beat the man and there never will be. Silly billy haterz are always gonna hate.

Its clear that the majority of haterz on esb are blinkered fanboys of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney, gullable fans who grew up believing the delusional brainwashing that HBO and Ring magazine forced down their throats on how great their idol is, they clearly lost touch on reality and when Calzaghe despatched their idols in their own backyard, they cling to every excuse in the book, crying like little bitches with sand in their vagina's.

When the likes of Jones and Toney were scared to fight off a level playing field, juiced to the gills, Calzaghe was busy training harder as a clean athlete

When Hopkins and Jones were cleaning out the terribly weak 160 and 175 divisions infront of gullable, blinkered HBO audiences, Calzaghe was cleaning out a far superior 168 division.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were busy being clowned by mediocre fighters like Tiberi, sanderline Williams, Thadzi, Mercado, Jermain Taylor, Tarver, and Glen Johnson etc, Calzaghe was busy showing remarkable consistency

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were showing zero adaptability against the likes of Tarver, Taylor, and Tiberi etc, Calzaghe was showing supreme adaptability against the likes of Robin Reid and Kessler

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were folding like lawn chairs when faced with adversity, Calzaghe was getting up at the count of 2 and immediately facing fire with fire, no holding, just rising to the occasion in the heat of the battle when it mattered most.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Foney were busy trash talking and insulting opponents with shear arrogance and racism, Calzaghe remained down to earth, true to his roots and showed respect for all opponents.

When the likes of Hopkins were stinking the arena's out, feigning injuries and trying to rob fight fans of their hard earned money by getting bouts called off mid-fight, Calzaghe was busy trying to put a show on for the fans, wanting to have a tare up with every opponent.

When Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were fighting in their backyard, Calzaghe was wanting to fight Hopkins in 2002 on foreign soil only for the cowardly Hopkins to be turning down a record payday.

When the dust was settled at 175 and Hopkins was the king of the division, Calzaghe moved up weight, and despite fighting on foreign soil, with corrupt judges, and the corrupt Joe Cortez refereeing, Calzaghe simultaneously became the main man at 168 and 175 by literallty butt-****ing racist crybaby Hopkins in his own backyard sandwiched inbetween the most impressive winning streak of Hopkins entire career.

When Jones was granted the opportunity to fight the new king at 175, many experts throughout the world of boxing predicted that Jones would beat Calzaghe due to Joes fragile hands not having sufficient power to further shatter Roys glass jaw. What we got instead was a boxing exhibition from Calzaghe, clearly demonstrating a far superior skillset.

When Jones and Toney continue boxing to this day, mumbling in their speech and not having a pot to **** in, Calzaghe is happily retired, a wealthy man with all his faculties in tact.

Lets be honest, there is so much to hate, the bitterness, the envy, the jealousy of fanboys trying to throw stones at their idol's master because no one was ever good enough to do their talking in the ring with Joe Calzaghe.

Delusional haterz are gonna hate but the facts will never ever change. Team Elite will continue to educate blinkered fanboys, all roads will always lead to Joe Calzaghe.

 

Had to stop reading after that..

 

Glen Johnson is the ideal barometer to measure that

- impressive at 160
- impressive at 175
- used as a punch bag in the tough as teak 168 division :yep

 

I'm a fifteen stone, 44 year old who knows boxing too. I won't get into a pissing contest with you, because YOU are the ****ing fool. If you asked 100 boxing experts who would be higher ranked in a Boxing hall of Fame at least 95 would say Hagler; and the other 5 would be wrong.
I am English, by the way and my Dad was Welsh, so there is no nationalistic bias on my part.
