if Slappy was from America he wouldn't be undefeated..period

 

Right.

What a ridiculous example. Wilder is widely criticized for his level of opposition, as he should be. As was Calzaghe.

Look at Mayweather, whose legacy far, far exceeds Calzaghe, and the criticism he gets, as well he should.

Look at the criticism Ward got, who had 1 fight against a weak opponent and consider Calzaghe did the same on far more occasions.

Look at Quillin who is getting roundly panned for his choice of opponents.

Danny Garcia.

Kelly Pavlik.

Miguel Cotto.

Manny Pacquiao.

Adonis Stevenson.

Chris John.

Gennady Golovkin.

All are guys who are or have been criticized for their choice of opponents on more than 1 occasion. Saying that race is the main factor is an agenda driven crutch. It's indiscriminant.

What people need to realize is that Calzaghe gets his share because he did it steadily(not constantly) for a decade. That will draw criticism no matter who you are of where you come from.

 

I dunno, I think the only reason I have good legs is growing up on the back of a set of giant hills that I'd climb most mornings. My thighs still look like Roberto Carlos's.


come on, it would give you better legs than running around the flats of Hammersmith. London isn't known for producing gastastic athletes.


the only reason Londoners have some decent runners is that they are all imports like Mo Farah.

 

joes prolbem wa fake resume. some of his opponents could be beat by people on this forum for goodness sake, and not just one or two, more than half. Will McIntyre types again and again? for a world title?? Joe loved to pyss on the welsh who supported such fights, and then tell them its raining.

 

I wish Joe had fought Froch, Joe would have put a hell of a beating on that big lump of ****.

 

joe never beat up anyone, no power.

U need to swap the words would and wish

 

if joe was American, he'd only reigned for a few months.

 

I think Jeff Lacy's face would like to differ.

 

exactly, thanks for the cal**** argument, prime joe had 15 rounds to stop a defenceless, sub-world level mr lacey, and he couldn't despite being able to pepper his face constantly.

This is the jeff who gets stopped by 40somethings.

 

What's a cal****? Please tell me you're not over 21?

 

Come on, that's funny.

How about Cal-ifornicator?

 

Look at you ducking & thinking you're smart.. You're not! Go on.. How old are you? Give yourself a reality check..

 

Come on, you have to admit that one was pretty good.
