Calzaghe...munching on a bowl of sour grapes

he says that because his last fight did **** numbers

 

Notice that OP didn't post a link to the comments.

Probably because Calzaghe wasn't talking about Pacquiao v De La Hoya at any point.

 

excellent point.

 

I'm a HUGE Dawson fan but Kessler is no Danish Pastry. He did beat Anthony Mundine who is a heck of a fighter, or at least was.

Dawson is a serious threat to Calzaghe but if I were Joe, I'd retire too.

I want Hopkins - Dawson for the vacant lt heavyweight championship now that Joe is done!

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Is that for real??? That's the sort of thing one of his dumb nut-huggers would say. By his own admission he was a pretend champion for 9 years then, thanks for clearing that up Joe.

 

C'mon now, you know Joe is an arrogant ***** who thinks he is the greatest fighter since Ray Robinson. :dead

 

Isn't the WBO the most credible organization? :hey





:rofl

 

there is no doubt in my mind that Joe only became the real champ when he beat KEssler. Thats also the consensus

 

NO NO NO. He was admitting the system is flawed. had there of been only one champion it still would have been him

 

In Wales it certainly is, obviously. Can't wait for him to retire with his precious shitty 0 intact personally. For someone like him to say boxing is dying and come up with an outrageous statement like that is beyond belief.

 

Exactly. Calzaghe spoke about his thoughts on nearing retirement where he commented that he felt fortunate to be ending his career now rather than starting it, given the situation boxing is in at the moment. That's a relatively uncontroversial point I would have thought and not sure how it represents 'sour grapes' in anyway.

Calzaghe said nothing about De La Hoya v Pacquiao in his comments to the Press Association.

FightNews are one of many outlets that have reported the comments, but this particular journalist has chosen to add the context of the De La Hoya/Pacquiao numbers, presumably as somekind of 'even though top end things may look rosy, is boxing in trouble' angle. Calzaghe didn't mention it at all. Your thread title is blatant trolling.

 

Bullsh1t Dawson is the first credible fighter Joe would face. Kessler was the best super middleweight Joe could have faced at that moment in time, just because there aren't any decent American boxers anymore at SM doesn't mean there aren't any boxers. And Jeff Lacy was the best thing since slice bread until Joe beat him senseless..

He has got a point about the champions though. There are just too many champions. A champion means nothing these days unless they are undisputed and have 8 belts wrapped around them looking ridiculous.

 

Yes, and he'd still have been 35 before he grew the balls to become that champion, and he'd forever be remembered as what he actually was as opposed to what he might have been - so in that sense he definately has a point.
