Their are tons of ballsy fighters....some carry larger sacks than others but all have a legit amount of juice. Check out the up coming bouts for instance... Palvik v Taylor Mosely v Cotto All four of these guys don't back down for ****. I would put Cal v Kess but those two have yet to face real adversity though after seeing Calzaghe go through a tough bout against Bika I'm sure his gonans are hard as rocks too, the Viking seems like a tough load too so lets get in on!
You insult Calzaghe (who faces fighters like Kessler for glory) yet praise a bunch of money grabbing journeymen (Shane Mosley and Manny "the OAP killer" Pacman excluded) -fullstop-
Anyone can do what Glen Johson does, fight and lose to actual good fighters like Hopkins and Ottke for large amounts of money (this is basically what he is praised for) -fullstop- Not many could do what Calzaghe does though, that actually requires talent -fullstop-
Money-grabbing journeymen? Regardless of the purse, these men still got in the ring. Too bad I can't say the same for your boy Calzaghe, who is the biggest money grabber of all, taking a joke of a fight (Exhibit A: Manfredo) three times a year (Exhibit B: Evans Ashira) while getting paid big sums to sit on his ass in the UK (Exhibit C: Kabary Salem), far from danger. Although to his credit for ONCE, he's taking on the toughest fight available in Kessler. Too bad it took him 235 defenses to do it.
Evans Ashira, Mitchell, Lacy, Kessler etc should all be on your list for being suicidal morons and daring to fight Joe Calzaghe -fullstop-
It is Calzaghe combination of talent and balls is what seperates Calzaghe from the rest -fullstop- Balls isn't getting a big payday to lose -fullstop- Balls is destroying your opponents and being knocked down only to destroy your opponent seconds later -fullstop- Balls are not failure -fullstop- Balls are Mayweather, Mosley, Pacman and Calzaghe -fullstop-
Not really -fullstop- But he and Mayweather have more balls than Arturo Gatti -fullstop- They had the guts to learn how to box and not look for an easy way out KO or be KOed -fullstop-
Johnson also has some good wins. Calzaghe is abused in this thread, but how do you remedy that by denegrating Johnson?
That logic is quite strange :huh Some fighters are limited in their ability some are emotional charged and tend to fall off their practiced blue print. I don't see how this ties anyway near their "balls" Though you could be busting my balls creating a rise out of me, which I appreciate if you where here to finish the job and not leave me blue....I can't quite get a read on you China, you must be a hell of a Poker player to nutty ****er you.
I'm not intending to denegrate Johnson -fullstop- It just seems like I am because he doesn't look to good when you compare him (or anyone else for that matter) to Joe Calzaghe -fullstop-
Some would argue that Liston and Glenn are somehow realted.....the resembalance is quite striking don't you think.
Gatti's stupidity creates the illusion of balls -fullstop- The is nothing clever or ballsy about the way he fights, it is just primative -fullstop-
