Calzaghe Appreciation Thread!!!

You would think the fight against Hopkin's showed where this guy was, considering what Hopkins has shown us since.

 

Dubace you total twat. Calzaghe never weighed in at 178lbs ever atsch. The heaviest Calzaghe ever weighed in at was 174 and a half lbs in his last pro fight.
He did fight a CW called B J Edwards when he was looking to stay busy.
Once again Dubace has shown how little he knows .
Hopkins on the other hand did turn pro in the CW limit at 177lbs, now thats a size advantage when fighting opponents who had fought as pros at SFW . Still beaten Hopkins is willing to fight former WW Martinez after his fight with Dawson :yep.
You mention size advantages Dubace

 

who the f*ck is Calzaghe???

 

Although I'm not a big fan of calzaghe, he has a big win on hopkins. Who has floyd mayweather fought that beats out hopkins?

 

NO!

 

Fell for what? I corrected your mistake. If you wrote it on purpose it shows you are a liar. You're not a liar are you Dubace?
If you are a liar then say now. If not then you have to admit you were wrong and that I schooled you again .

Which one is it Dubace. Dont duck the post. As said I dont want to call you a bottle job . Problem is when people duck posts it tends to show that they are bias because they cant use facts to back up their points.

I look forward to reading your reply

 

Read through the thread Threetime no1. Where have I mentioned Haglers name? I havent on this thread . Jeffjoiner posted about me before I even knew about this thread .
Pay attention atsch

 

Calzaghe is criminally underrated here. The guy was a true ATG who would have been great in any era.

 

lol haha

 

enough said hes a LEGEND all you haters are probably just carl frochs different accounts lol

 

there's 2 huge things that separate the men from the boys in boxing

fighting in adversity
being able to adapt during fights


everything is rosy for a fighter when they are ahead in fights but its only when a fighter is in trouble that you get to see what that boxer is really made of. some fighters fold when faced with adveristy like roy jones, jermain taylor, or zab judah, but fighters like joe calzaghe stare defeat in the eye and come out of the other side, when faced with adversity, they take the bull by the horns and rise to the challenge. look at everytime calzaghe has been knocked down - mitchell, sheika, hopkins, jones, and look at the way calzaghe responded, he didn't get up and hold on for dear life, time waste, and deliberatly foul, he got up and had a ****in tear up and took the fight straight back to the opposition. when faced with that type of adversity, some fighter sink, but the real greats swim.


the other great strength is being able to adapt in the ring. everyone knows calzaghe had to change his style because of persistant hand trouble. when plan A isn't working, most fighters don't have a plan B, checkout the likes of roy jones, or checkout the 8 fights that bernard hopkins had that he wasn't good enough to win - they couldn't find a plan B. calzaghe could adapt his style, check out the come forward slugging style that was used to knock the **** out of eubank, check the on your toes, clever footwork and boxing style v lacy. look how calzaghe still found a way to win versus reid despite ****ing his hand up in round 4, look how calzaghe changed to plan B mid-way through the kessler fight, check out how calzaghe was able to work hopkins out after an early points deficit - the truly great fighters find a way to win no matter what style of fighter they are facing and they do that because they can adapt mid-fight and because they can step their game up when faced with adversity. calzaghe was a master of both.
