"Calzaghe is very,very specisl"- Manny Stewart

He had glass fists

he did pretty well for someone with disabled hands imo

 

He was born in England as his parents were there briefly. Doesn't make him English.

Welsh mother and Italian father. There is no English in his family.

 

These are words spoken by a true fanboy.

I hope you find peace within yourself eventually.

 

:tdh

 

Jeremy Beadle would have beaten him, imo.

 

I'm 32 and have seen a lot of great fighters, I'm no fan boy. Best post-war Brit and a legend. End of conversation, have a nice day.

 

the fact that there are always threads on joe on this forum and the fact that every fighter in the world around his weight is measured in comparison to him speaks volumes, regardess of who he fought or didnt fight boxing experts and unbiased enthusiasts will rate joe as the one of the greatest post war british fighter beaten arguebly only by lennox lewis

 

I struggle to believe that word exists amongst boxing experts and writers.

 

IMO joe is the best british fighter of all time. Call him a fraud is simple hate.

 

Its a realistic viewpoint, far more realistic than calling him the best British fighter of all time that's for sure.

 

haha thats true, but u get my point

 

Good fighter but not great, massively overated by Sun reading types who see him as some unbeatable God like figure.

 

Really? I read the Telegraph, I'm educated to Oxbridge level and I rate Calzaghe the best British boxer I've ever seen.
I also laugh when I read absolute bull**** written by jumped up nobodies such as yourself.

 

I was once a huge Calzaghe fan and believed that he would have beat Roy Jones Jr. Ive cooled a fair bit since he retired but to call him a fraud and then claim it to be a "realistic viewpoint" is laughable. A "realistic viewpoint" would be to say for example "yeh that Calzaghe was a very good / great fighter, but he could have achieved so much more". Your debating a subject where the other poster has the polar opposite opinion to your own. Im not sure what makes your viewpoint of any more value than his, see what im saying?
