    i havent been on the forum here long so i dont know this landscape but to be honest whose fans started it

    did other fans attack his accomplishments first or did Joes biggest fan boys over rat him first?

    because honestly fans get a little nuts and over rate their guys in response to idiots daily making threads discrediting a guy like Calzaghe saying he sucks and is fraud bum

    if only fans could find a middle ground

    Joe was no bum but he also isnt this invincible force

    id say his long title reign and that he eventually had all 4 belts maybe not at once plus the ring belt means he is in the running for best all time at his weight

    i'd be considered one of the biggest calzaghe haters on these boards but i completely agree with everything you wrote. who started first?? not sure but calzaghe is definitely a hot topic on these boards.

    Joe

    the klits

    haye

    manny

    floyd

    now bradley

    are all sort of the hot button fighters the guys who have the most insane fans and most haters

    you can almost guarantee every day on ESB they are being argued about..and to me that speaks volumes of their greatness, if you have to fight about it and argue about it, it means they are in that discussion of greatness

    i think you know the answer to this. the whole existence of your life is based over topics like these. over-the-counter andro is what he tested positive for. legal for you and me to buy at that time but a banned drug by the ibf. joe admitted to doing an illegal drug.

    which is worse, the guy that used something that was legal to buy or the guy that purchased and used an illegal drug?

    btw, i really don't care what joe did. he's probably a good dude and just wanted to party.

    :good

    Plus he never tested positive, so if he was doing coke while an active boxer it wasn't right before fights...which means it didn't matter that he was doing it as it couldn't have possibly affected his performances.

    Calzaghe is a drug cheat :deal

    That's why all his punches were wild and slapping. He was trying to shoo away the devil in his hallucinations..Doesn't coke give you a burst of energy? Maybe a quick line or two before a fight, and he could have a ridiculous work rate.:think
