    And White so he'll always be a bum to some no matter who he beats and what he achieves like Calzaghe.

    I have to give Slappy Joe some credit.

    Even though he defended the worthless WBO strap for the better part of the decade, at least he faced some world class opponents.

    Bumluvkin has 14 defenses and his best win got knocked out by a shopworn midget.

    Aren't MMA fans mostly white? Not speaking fans individually, that wouldn't make sense (unless you're a Michael Jackson type of person), but fans as a whole... You know, a group of fans.

    im not sure about that

    i know some of ther best black fighters are popular, so if the fans are white, they have no issue supporting a black fighter

    Daniel Cormier's just a great dude, Anthony Johnson's a monster, two black fighters off the top of my head that are popular, so if the fans ARE mostly white, theyre not racist

    GGG & Calzaghe are like chalk & cheese....

    GGG is boxer that can hit like the kick of a mule. He's exciting to watch. He has charisma. He'll fight any 160 & below out there. He wants to clean out the 160 division , which is exactly what a real champion does. I cannot see any 160 pounder that can beat him

    Calzaghe is another story . He held on to the WBO strap for years refusing to leave British shores. He cherry picked his opponents plus had some very suspicious premature TKO wins. But worst of all he was incapable of throwing a legitimate scoring punch He slapped like a girl, that's hit with the inside of the glove which is a FOUL BLOW!!
    He was presented with a gift split decision over Bernard Hopkins which there was no way on earth he deserved & scored a win over a totally shot Jones jr on the only times he left his home shores. Both these veteran's put him on his a$$ incidently too..
    Forget Calzaghe he wouldn't have a prayer against GGG. He's not in the same class

    I'd like to take this opportunity to ridicule Calzaghe that he should've fought Froch instead of fukking Evans Ashira.

    GGG punches really hard. He doesn't slap like a girl.

    Ridiculous.

    Firstly, GGG has gone all in on the world stage. He hasn't fought weak competition, mainly mandatories, for a fringe belt(for nigh on a decade at that).

    GGG has become an international star, has made genuine inroads in the US, and while his competition isn't the greatest, he is fighting world ranked fighters, and has made genuine, undeniable attempts to wrangle legit world class fighters into the ring with him.

    In short, he is basically doing what Calzaghe should have been doing, and because of that, has a right to the claims he is making. The one and only wart is the Ward thing, and with mw unification on the horizon, that can still be revisited in the future.
