its not hating if he didnt fight the best fighters of his era when it mattered. calzagfhe was a very good fighter - you won't hear me say otherwise - but he had a major achilles heel, and that was allowing frank warren to milk title defences rather than test himself against the best when it mattered.
It's an historical fact, that if a fighter wants to get made and paid, they come to the USA. Fighters been doing it for a century. Now, just because Calzaghe didn't make his way to the US doesn't take away from his incredible skills.
i agree...to a point. people can't talk about calzaghe being a 'G' when the best fighters of his era were a division above and below him and he did nothing in the US when they were kings. you can't laud a fighter's ability when they consciously avoid the best fighters of their era.
Sheika beat G Johnson, Calzaghe pased the walls with Sheikas blood next fight, as if Calzaghe didn't belong ._well... This content is protected
i'm not suggesting for one minute that calzaghe wasn't a very good fighter. he was. but the fact that you have to link the sheika fight as some kind of career achievement just reinforces the point i was making.
