Joe Calzaghe's comments on bunce's hour

“There is too much politics in boxing, too many belts and too many champions, which dilutes real champions like myself,” he said. “There are four world champions in each division and it’s bad because there are no stars any more. It’s a big problem.”

Oh the Irony.:roll:

 

Froch and Bunce are on 5 live boxing now. I think he is going to be answering back to the criticism.

 

Calzaghe has always been a spiteful sod.

He said before the Robin Reid fight...........that Reid was jealous because I am better looking than you

Reid quite rightly told him to "grow up"

Calzaghe was being such a twat..........I remeber during a camera / photo shoot a couple of days beofore the fight in some car park .........Robin Reid actually removed his boxing gloves hanging around his neck and went to have a proper scrap with Joe Calzaghe he was that wound up

Calzaghe was to blame...........being a valley boy welsh *****........with a petty mind

He has wised up since them days I think

But underneath deep down..........he is the same spiteful valley boy

Simple reason why he didnt give Froch credit.............he didnt like it that Froch has become WBC Champion

He would have much more liked it if Froch was exposed and beaten

Froch now has something

Wether Calzaghe fights him or not.............Froch is a new star........a new champion

Calzaghe is not pleased for him

Calzaghe should stop slagging off Bute.............he is a unknown qunatity .....he could be very good

Sakio Bika was a dark horse...........we could easily say Calzaghe had a tough fight with a nobodie there

 

You'd think with retirement looming he'd have mellowed abit.Froch has also been bigging calzaghe up of late.Did'nt sit well with me at all, thought he was a ***** to be honest !

 

Spot on flint !

 

Joes getting a roasting

 

To be honest, I thought Calzaghe justified his comments well when the whole interview is played. I agree that he doesn't need to slag Froch off to the extent that he has done but he's absolutely correct when he says that this was both Froch and Pascals's first and so far only, world title fight so what has he done to deserve a shot?

On this same 5live show, Froch labelled Calzaghe "thick", "stupid" and "slaps his way through fights". That was not to be criticized.

 

Froch has been giving Calzaghe **** since like 2004/2005.

JC is entitled to give a little back, and we all know that he has a few good points with regards to Froch...does anyone really think he could beat Calzaghe? How much would it mean to Joes legacy?

I wouldn't mind seeing the fight as it's a big domestic clash, and the win could potentially appreciate with time....but I'd much rather see a fight with a much more worthy contender in Chad Dawson.

 

Agreed. I can't believe how much **** Calzaghe's getting at the moment for basically speaking his mind. Joe's is just saying what he sees and there's certainly no bullshitting about it. Joe did say that it was an entertaining fight which was enjoyable to watch. He's just saying that he's not on his radar by any way, shape or form.

It is what it is...

 

I think people are starting to realise that Froch is actually a decent bloke, wheras Joe, who has recently cultured this 'personality' is actually showing his true colours.

People say Joe is not like his father, but i think it's plainly obvious that his ego is huge and he is a misery.

You can put people down in a funny, witty way - like Ali did and I believe some of the stuff that Froch has came out with is pretty funny.

Wheras Calzaghe dont have a funny bone in his body.

I remember after he fought Hopkins, in the post-fight conference Calzaghe said that 'he tripped' in the first round. He was obviously trying to emulate Ricky's post-Mayweather wise crack.... except the audience didn't get it. They just looked at him wondering what he was on about.

Calzaghe may beat Froch, but he wouldn't do it excitingly. He would slap and cuff his way to a points win. But all the good shots would come from Froch.

I'd rather watch the next 3 Froch fights than the next 3 Calzaghe fights.

Joe's technique and all round persona leaves me cold. The legend killer... lmao.

And dont start me on about his ridiculous 'showboating' which consists of gurning and wiggling his arse.

 

There's a simple solution for you then... Stop watching his fights and going to his press conferences.

 

There's the problem he's retiring and its gonna hurt him more that he's willing to have us know. i'm a massive calzaghe fan and don't think back then froch had done enough to get a shot but after the slugfest saturday he now deserves a crack, i imo think calzaghe would have the tools to beat froch he has no defence and hangs his chin out, though i doubt calzaghe would stop him 3-4 rounds.

Still all the comments were to wind froch up for the mouthing he's done in the past

 

Froch correctly slated Calzaghe back in 2004 for those 'defences' and recently had cooled off some, but the fire's been stoked again now. Think Joe would win but everyone on here's correct in saying some congratulations was justified for a fight that did a big favour to the sport of boxing and on terrestrial too. What a fight! And to make out that Pascal is no good is awful from Joe. Pascal is a brilliant fighter who got it right for 12 rounds the other week, fought the fight of his life and will come again. Pascal Calzaghe would definately have been competative.

 

This is hardly shocking.
Calzaghe is a very good boxer but he's a very dull and at times spiteful character.
Watching the HBO 24/7 thing was cringeworthy at times and any time he goes on talk shows

 

it's no secret Calzaghe is a total *****. He only wants old and shot fighters these day too.
2 years ago 'I won't fight Jones now, he's shot'
a few months ago 'Jones is an ATG and 4 weight champion, a legend..I'll fight him'

case closed.
