It's like the Rock said, "You gotta a big mouth".

American women dig him.

 

I dont understand it myself. The hate fof european fighters on ESB boxing is complete BS.

 

You meant that comment to go to PBF.

 

I'm american and Calzaghe is a great fighter.

 

They don't hate Joe Calzaghe.
It's because of his annoying "fans" and because of loud-mouthed Enzo.
And because 3 out of 5 threads have Calzaghe as their topic

 

Cause he doesn't try to blow smoke up the yanks arses and schmooze his way into their hearts and minds. He says what he thinks and doesn't sugarcoat things. Some people in the US think he should act inferior and 'know his place'.

Also his style doesn't ingratiate himself to Americans.

 

he is but i don't like him one bit
I don't hate him tho.

 

Good fair question but its been done to death mate and its never ever going to change!
Anti-Calzaghe bashers bash him apparently in reponse to the so called 'nuthuggers' and because he is over hyped whilst Brits stick up for him whether they are fans or not because the one eyed attitude of his 'haters' pisses them off.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction!

 

him too.

 

1.He hasn't fought the best
2.He has become a mouthpiece
3.He is european
4.He is a bit slappy

Not my opinions but when you read comments fron Calzaghe detractors this is usually what they say

 

I don't hate Calzaghe. I just think it's wrong that he's been called the greatest light-heavy by some and is put in the same class as Robinson, Ali, and Joe Louis. He hasn't done nearly enough to warrant that level of greatness and the fact that he has barely ventured away from his home country to fight doesn't earn him many HOF points either. Calzaghe and Delahoya are almost the same as far as I'm concerned. They are both fall significantly short when it comes to being recognized as fighting champions. Both appear to be more concerned about one last big pay day.

 

I dont think anyone thinks that as a light heavyweight he is anywhere near louis or any of the greats at that weight, I personally see him as a great SMW who has gone up a weight and won one great, albeit tiight fight against another great fighter. I dont think he is a nataural light heavy but he has stepped up and done good.
His career will be judged mainly at SMW where I think he was exceptional, record shows that no matter what anyone says. You could question the resume of every fighter in history, find flaws and weaknesses but the fact is he is damn good, always was as an amateur and has been as a pro!
