If Calzaghe had a gold medal, talks would be different

if i remeber correctly he was due to go the games at a certain weight(can't remember which) but could no longer make the weight and someone else was already picked at the weight above.

 

Your getting a bit annoyed aren't you !!!!! Why ?

If you can't take critisism of your Hero don't come on here.... Because guess what, ppl have diffrent opinons

 

You got me there, But this guy has obviously come on here because he couldn't stand the warranted critisism his Idol was getting

 

Like i said above im pretty sure he was supposed to after winning his third aba title. but had problems making that weight i think it was light-middle but don't quote me on it

 

The people of a nation that has had limited success in producing great athletes are inclined to give excessive praise to those of the same heritage that perform at a high level.

 

For every one of him, there are 10 ZEMO's.

 

calzaghe and mayweather.... biggest frauds in boxing today. talented, skillfull fighters but more intent on protecting their 0 then fighting the best.

 

yep. we should probably create some sports that no one else gives a **** about or takes part in. set up some championships and declare the winners demi god world champions....

oh wait.

that's already been done, who by again?

****.

 

But that discussion is irreleavant because I was talking about Welsh boxing.

 

It wouldn't change a thing for me. Pros and Ams are two different sets of rules. If he got a gold, it just means he was a good amateur boxer. Not too mention all the talent then would be very young and unproven (unless he faced off against a few Cuban and former Soviet boxers). Your point, it's almost pointless. Pros are a totally different game. It would be a nice feather in Joe's cap, but it wouldn't change a damn thing. I'm looking at his pro record, and I'm still not impressed. Great fighter, yeah that's Joe. All time great? Are you ****ing serious? I can't wait for this issue to die down.

 

he probably woulda been a good amatuer with his slappy sloppy style too. but the point still stands as a pro he never fought anyone until lacy, and then too little too late. then retired when the **** was half baked.

 

he was supposed to go to the olympics but he would only fight on the condition that enzo was his trainer and that could not be agreed so he ended up not getting picked and the person he had beat in the ABA#s got the nod instead.

calzaghe not going to the olympics is still a sore subject to a few people i know who have followed him from the amature days
