Joe Calzaghe and the reasons why he has such a divided fanbase

he ran like **** from loads of fighters.

when did Joe fight Kessler at home. You failed there, either compare like for like or don't bother. Froch beat Kessler at home just like Joe.


you should take a lesson from your hero and run before you lose badly.

 

Exactly mate he made a lot of noise but the only promoter who sent a real offer across was Calzaghe's over to Froch's this has been confirmed. :good

 

ringside quote

carl froch: when the fight was building up to maybe or maybe not happening i thought to myself he's going to make me look silly

TWICE carl froch ducked joe calzaghe

 

His fanbase its british peps who are brainwashed by sky tv because of his O . He fought no one his whole career . Jones and hopkins are the only names worth mentioning and jones was done. Hopkins was a draw . I give him lil credit for that. He was good not great in my book

 

Its a shame guys like joe get so much credit and guys like ricardo lopez get so littĺe. Lopez was 100 times the fighter joe was but is never taljed about its criminal

 

Roy would have batterd joe any where from 93-2003

 

Toney would have batterd joe at smw. Even benn would have beaten him

 

Look mate Calzaghe clearly beat Kessler and faily, Kessler clearly beat Froch the first time the rematch could have went either way. You don't really know anything about boxing and you make daft alts to back yourself up. Froch is massively over rated and hasn't boxed in places like Germany which Calzaghe did.

 

Come on man. This is almost inviting a ruckus.

Kessler-Froch II was clear for Froch. Same with Kessler -Froch I being clear for Kessler. I'd say this, if Kessler-Froch I were in England, Froch would have won. I cannot say the same for the reverse.

Froch fought and lost to Kessler in Denmark and it cost him his "0". Calzaghe fought Mario Veit in Germany. You do the math.

 

I dont happen to agree, but you have a leg to stand on in your argument.

Fact is I think Roy was the best SMW....others think different. Point is, you may be right, and I cant argue with FACTS against it either way.

Joe is a great in his own right, and yeah, he was avoided, but IMO, not for the EXACT reasons his fans give. I believe it was likely just as much to do with $$$ why it took Roy and BHop so long to fight him just the same.:think

 

I disagree here.
Firstly I do not hate Calzaghe but I think he was one of the most overated boxers recently
Its comparatively easy to remain undefeated when you handpick your opponents & duck the dangerous ones
The way he ridiculed Roy Jones saying how he was shot but then jumped at the chance to fight him when the offer was made.
No way in hell calzaghe beat Hopkins either. This was proven when Hopkins offered to go to wales for a rematch but Calzaghe declined & retired ROFL:rofl

 

Calzaghe was incapable of throwing a legitimate scoring punch ever shot he threw practically was ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!! To put him in the HOF is almost as bad as inductinf Jose Suliaman & Stallone :rofl Canastota has become a joke

 

In the words of Larry Holmes...... Calzaghe was not fit to carry Bernard Hopkins jockstrap

 

That's not true......:nono
