does watching Calzaghe box make anyone else laugh?

i would get just a bit embarrassed when he tried to showboat. it looked like he was doing the funky chicken.. the polar opposite of, say, the ali shuffle

 

Actually joes showboating is good, its just that he does it against old cripples. Who in the world who has ANY class would showboat against a Parkinsons suiffering Muhammed Ali? Well, nobody I know, but Joe would, the twat that he is.

Still being a twat doesn't mean you are a bad boxer, he was a handful.

 

Calslappy fought like a girl slap slap slap he couldn't throw a legitimate scoring punch
All the time he "fought" I kept waiting for him to start pulling his opponents hair , scratching & biting. Are ya sure his name wasn't really Josephine ?? ROFLMAO

 

calzaghe reminds me of my aunt when she's pissed off.....

 

Then you better watch out, 'cause she might just knock your teeths out if she's in a bad mood.

:!:

 

I'm not buying. There are seven names mentioned in your post and they all have some dip**** excuse attached to them as to why Joe couldn't make a fight with any of them and how it just wasn't his fault.

Have you ever thought that some of these guys didn't wanna fight Calzaghe because he was a dangerous guy with nothing other than his crappy WBO belt to bring to the table?? Fights are considered on a risk vs reward basis, for the probable risk of taking on a very difficult opponent in front of a partisan crowd, what did Joe offer as a reward? Whereas Ottke was seen as the easier guy, he held a major slice of the SMW pie, while Joe had a belt that wasn't even recognised by the other sanctioning bodies until 2006.

As for the other guys, Lucas Held his belt for four fights I believe. Mundine held the WBA for five fights the second time. In a division where a fighter is apparently "dominant", there should be belts that are "passed around like a toy". That's exactly my point.

"Well, Joe wasn't going to Australia". Well, that's his decision. Mikkel Kessler came to Australia in order to take the WBA title, that was the sacrifice he decided to make in order to strengthen his resume. He knew that in order to increase his standing in the division he needed a major belt, so he did what had to be done.
"And Mundine certainly wasn't going to come over here". Based on what?? Mundine had gone to Germany to fight Sven Ottke. Mundine called Calzaghe out a number of times, Joe just wasn't interested.

I didn't say Frank ******'s fighters never left the UK, I said Frank ****** apparently had a phobia about letting his fighters leave their own back yard. It's a fact. Even when Kostya Tszyu held all the chips he had to go to Manchester and fight Hatton in front of a vocal English crowd. And Joe was a 40 fight vet before he left the UK, despite the fact that all the major belts were in other countries.

Joe Calzaghe had numerous chances to unify belts at his division, he didn't take them. You can make as many excuses as you like, but his legacy will suffer because of it, simple as that.

 

you don't have to buy it. no one cares whether you do or don't. it is what it is. they're not excuses. but you have to understand that it's difficult to make unifications at the best of times. even when both are willing. but if you have one that isn't willing to cooperate, then it isn't going to happen no matter what you do.

we had 2 fights in how many years? where there were 2 belts on the line in Kessler/Beyer ( which took ages to put together) and Ottke/Mitchell (where Mitchell was offered 3 times the money to fight Joe, but chose to fight Sven instead) if it was that easy, there would be unifications all over the place. but there isn't. it isn't as simple as that.

wait a minute! you're now saying the fights never happened because they might have thought Joe didn't bring anything to the table????

WTF!

i thought these were all excuses? you seem to be doing the same thing. but for the record, Joe was the best guy around, and there was plenty of money on the table, so there was no need to duck. there wasn't even any pricing themselves out of fights (Hopkins and Jones aside) it didn't even get that far for them to do that. they just flat out refused.

with you being in Aus, can you tell me how you kept up to date with what was going on with Joe? because i smell bull**** here. i think you just look and see that he didn't unify and assume that he didn't do all he could to get these fights, when that isn't true at all. Joe talked a lot about wanting to unify.

it was Joe's fault that he didn't go to Australia? even though i clearly told you that Joe's backers (SKY) wouldn't be able to do anything there because of the time situation? :-( Mundine lost the title pretty quick the first time round, then didn't have it again until 2007. that's when Joe left the division to fight Hopkins. the fight made no sense for Joe.

Kessler held the title at the time. and he went to Aus because Mundines side outbid them due to it being a big fight over there. Mundine wasn't worth paying big money out for for him to go to Denmark.

when did Mundine call Joe out? when did he send his people to negotiate with Wa55en? i'll tell you shall i... never! not once.

oh, Wa55en "apparently" didn't like his fighters leaving their back yard? what promoter does? his fighters have traveled more than any other promoters fighters have. fact.

Tszyu was paid 3 million to come to the UK. do you think he was going to turn that down? it would have made less money else where. it was good business to have the fight in the UK. so no, he wasn't "made" to come over here. if he wanted it else where, he could have. but he wanted the big pay check.

Joe NEVER had the chances to unify, so stop talking **** will you. do you really think that Joe was willing to fight tougher fighters in Lacy and Kessler when past his prime, but not when in his prime against weaker comp? yeah, sure.

believe your fairy tale if you want. but it doesn't cut the mustard i'm afraid.

 

it seems you believe that Joe's best performances don't mark his prime, which is the opposite to what everyone sees as fact.

Your best performances mark your prime, and for Joe that was BY A MILLION MILLION MILLION miles those versus Kessler and Lacy. Therefore Joe was at his peak at these times, in his 30s.

Not sure why you choose to reverse this obvious truth?
But you didn't stop there - whilst peddling your lie you pretend the other guy is spinning a fairy tale instead of you!

INCREDIBLE.


ALso it is true that the WBO belt was largely unrecognised in the 90s and early 2000s. Why tell a lie about it? no one knew who Joe was till he fought his last 2 fights of his SMW career. He brought nothing to the table.

 

Damn
The britard wankers took this thread to 10 pages!

 

The nail was hit on the head :happy

 

46-0 deal with it!!!!

 

An absolute beast of a boxer as shown in the video below

What did make me laugh is how people comment on Calzaghes style but opponents were never able to counter it and if they did do something that worked temporarily, Calzaghe adjusted and beat them.
Years later and Calzaghe is still owning the SMW and LHW divisions, when you consider Hopkins who he beat is a top LHW and world champ, Kessler is Ward and Frochs best win and Bika who was beaten years ago by old Calzaghe, when past his best in this era can win a world title.
Calzaghe 46-0, 24 world title wins, WBO WBC WBA IBF Ring SMW champ & Ring LHW champ, beat Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Mitchell, Veit, Brewer, Bika, Lacy, Jones, Kessler and Hopkins who had all been or were or would become world champs in the weight divisions Calzaghe beat them in.

His abilities border on supernatural

 

how much of a ****ing moron would you like to become, hey?

contradicting yourself shows that you lose the argument (that not you were ever winning it. **** no)
Hopkins you said, wasn't in his prime when he fought Joe. but Hopkins was putting in his best performances before, and after the Calzaghe fight. he was also facing better competition than he had ever faced at this point as well. so, what's it to be? :think

just because you put in great performances when past your best, it doesn't mean you're prime. it just shows how good you are. to suggest otherwise clearly shows you're out of your depth in this argument. :deal

 

Every woman that I have shown his fights laughs as well.

 

All roads always lead to Joe Calzaghe, every major victory in boxing leads back to Joe, he is top of the ESB food chain (much like the Team Elite Corporation), he is 46 and 0 - there was never a blueprint to beat the man and there never will be. Silly billy haterz are always gonna hate.

Its clear that the majority of haterz on esb are blinkered fanboys of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney, gullable fans who grew up believing the delusional brainwashing that HBO and Ring magazine forced down their throats on how great their idol is, they clearly lost touch on reality and when Calzaghe despatched their idols in their own backyard, they cling to every excuse in the book, crying like little bitches with sand in their vagina's.

When the likes of Jones and Toney were scared to fight off a level playing field, juiced to the gills, Calzaghe was busy training harder as a clean athlete

When Hopkins and Jones were cleaning out the terribly weak 160 and 175 divisions infront of gullable, blinkered HBO audiences, Calzaghe was cleaning out a far superior 168 division.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were busy being clowned by mediocre fighters like Tiberi, sanderline Williams, Thadzi, Mercado, Jermain Taylor, Tarver, and Glen Johnson etc, Calzaghe was busy showing remarkable consistency

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were showing zero adaptability against the likes of Tarver, Taylor, and Tiberi etc, Calzaghe was showing supreme adaptability against the likes of Robin Reid and Kessler

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were folding like lawn chairs when faced with adversity, Calzaghe was getting up at the count of 2 and immediately facing fire with fire, no holding, just rising to the occasion in the heat of the battle when it mattered most.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Foney were busy trash talking and insulting opponents with shear arrogance and racism, Calzaghe remained down to earth, true to his roots and showed respect for all opponents.

When the likes of Hopkins were stinking the arena's out, feigning injuries and trying to rob fight fans of their hard earned money by getting bouts called off mid-fight, Calzaghe was busy trying to put a show on for the fans, wanting to have a tare up with every opponent.

When Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were fighting in their backyard, Calzaghe was wanting to fight Hopkins in 2002 on foreign soil only for the cowardly Hopkins to be turning down a record payday.

When the dust was settled at 175 and Hopkins was the king of the division, Calzaghe moved up weight, and despite fighting on foreign soil, with corrupt judges, and the corrupt Joe Cortez refereeing, Calzaghe simultaneously became the main man at 168 and 175 by literallty butt-f**king racist crybaby Hopkins in his own backyard sandwiched inbetween the most impressive winning streak of Hopkins entire career.

When Jones was granted the opportunity to fight the new king at 175, many experts throughout the world of boxing predicted that Jones would beat Calzaghe due to Joes fragile hands not having sufficient power to further shatter Roys glass jaw. What we got instead was a boxing exhibition from Calzaghe, clearly demonstrating a far superior skillset.

When Jones and Toney continue boxing to this day, mumbling in their speech and not having a pot to **** in, Calzaghe is happily retired, a wealthy man with all his faculties in tact.

Lets be honest, there is so much to hate, the bitterness, the envy, the jealousy of fanboys trying to throw stones at their idol's master because no one was ever good enough to do their talking in the ring with Joe Calzaghe.

Delusional haterz are gonna hate but the facts will never ever change. Team Elite will continue to educate blinkered fanboys, all roads will always lead to Joe Calzaghe.
