A Genuine Question For The Fans Of Joe Calzaghe

I will say this is somewhat of a troll thread...but it's an honest question, so I'll try to give it a shot.

I think because most UK fans haven't seen a good boxing prospect to jump bandwagon with since Lewis. Once they have a offensively lethal (although i find ineffective) giant like Joe Calzaghe, they found a new guy to give their praises to. He's the man with the "0"...the man that "beat the best." If they had more serious choices, I don't think you'd find this sort of blind obsession.

And have you seriously seen some of the sort of INSANE amount of defensive lines you hear from Floyd fans??!! Jesus christ...this man has his own army of defense attourneys. They have a spin for every answer possible about his ducking and being scared and being better than this boxer or that boxer. The man fights Judah and Baldomir and he's the top of the WW division :huh

Just as crazy as Calzaghe fans...but it's due to Floyd being the only real American boxing great as of now. Paul Williams is coming up in the rankings but he hasn't had his big break yet...

I think it's just countrymen looking for something to cling onto.

Some other countries produce great prospects and great fighters like it's no tomorrow. so you really don't see that sort of behavior because if they lose or avoid certain fighters, there's always somewhere else to look towards. Mexico has plenty of fighters to follow. PR has plenty of fighters to look forward to. I think Canada is getting some people to follow. Germany has a few.

But the UK has what? Khan? Haye needs to get through Vitali before he becomes the next thing people are crowing about. Hatton? Theyre not so delusional after that Floyd KO...

I think American fans are guilty of the same crime. Hyping up fighters way too fast before even doing anything relevent...it's all about searching for that next big thing.

 

You could've fooled me.

 

Summate this, now.

 

Pacquaio fans has inflated head and think their guy could take anybody. One thing good about pac fans, they always want the big fights. Marquez always has the style for manny and pac fans are still upbeat in their boy fighting the big challenges. I also did hear cries of disgust when he fought Barrera.
The thing with Cal fans, is when messes up boxing. The 0. Kind of suck watching Cal fight old roy instead of someone who can bring him to the next level. The man is good enough. He would have wipe the floor with Pavlik, and has the goods for dawson. Taylor would be a tune up for him and would also be a good name for his record. But too many people are trying to protect his 0. It happens with most undifeated fighters.
Hoya, floyd cherry pick their way at some point. Some fighters more then others. If manny was undegeated at 122, would we have seen him fight Barrera. Im not sure. They might have just wated for him to get old like Cal did to Jones. I like throwback figthers rather then undfeated guys with bums on their record. I'll take guys like Margarito,Mosley, Hatton, Pacquao anyday as long as they look for the big fights. We got to stop thinking like a guy with a couple losses are a bums. Fighters do mature, and improve.

 

Joe was forced into that match. He was scheduled to fight Magee.

 

jesus H christ you say it as if calzaghe is a spring chicken, the real question is how come you dont mention nothing about that ***** dawson ...his last few fights have been against fighters whom are twice his age. the reason calzaghe is like this is simple, for years he was treated like **** but dick heads like hopkins, etc.

 

I like Joe...Pac is clearly a better fighter all around. Joe's fans from England praise him like he is the GOAT--"SUGAR RAY ROBINSON"...Joe is a good fighter but he doesnt have many names on his resume..past prime RJJ, undefeated Kessler(good fighter, Kessler is), undefeated overrated Lacy, and a Great BHOP is the best name on his list...but Taylor beat Bhop more convincing that Joe did...
