Its time to give Calzaghe his props...

i give him his props. he's one of my fav fighters

 

Props JC

 

Props to Joe. But This needs to be his last fight at 168. If he beats
a great fighter like mikkel kessler. Then I think the winner of hops/winky
would be forced into a corner to fight Joe.

 

I'm not giving him a damn thing. The man built up his record by beating up a bunch of cab drivers in front of a partisan crowd. He was damn near 34 before he decided it was time to fight a legit champion(of course the fight had to be in England). After finally beating a top tier fighter in the division, J.C follows it up by fighting a decent Bika, and a glorified club fighter named Manfredo. I'll tell you what though, if he beats Kessler he derserves alot of credt. However, I'm not about give him any props for finally fighting a couple of legit champions at the tail end of his career. And before any J.C fans start getting on my case, just realize pretty much everything I said is 100% true.

 

Props to JC for taking on the young challenger.

Props to Kessler for fighting his 3rd title holder in the SMW division.

 

co-sign. He has been brave enough to fight the most dangerous challenger in his weight division to his unofficial number 1 ranking.

 

Oscar, Taylor, Pacquiao, Barrera, Mosley, just to name a few....

 

Too little, too late. He could have done so much more. Even now he could choose to turn it around. But will he?

I got doubts.

I will give him respect as the best SMW if he wins. But as for his willingness to test himself against the best or attempt to clear out the division? No. He has been one of the worst for that. One or two good fights wont erase this fact.

 

Berry berry trew....

 

Jesus......................Actually name some fighters in the last yrs who posed a threat or were on the same level as JC............????.............A fighter who came along a little bit too late in his division.................If he beats Kessler he will then go onto to fight Bhop/winky/Taylor...............All/any of whom I believe he will beat...........If he beat Kessler & then say Winky & then Taylor...........Will he gain peoples respect then...........????
As for fighting outside of this country................Its getting tired & boring now.............WHO THE **** OVER THE WATER warrants travelling to at SMW when he can fight ANYONE over here in front of 50 000+ now...............I really hope he does go to the US after Kessler & shuts a few mouths once & for all..............The memories of the last great US hope at SMW are still fresh in my mind & we all know what happened there............The single most clinical school put on 1man by another for yrs.........!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

I really hope he doesn't go to the States. With twats like the guys above, they don't deserve to see him. I'd rather him stay here so I don't have to fly to that hell hole anyway. Let him take HBO's money and let people like the above guys pay for that, but keep him here!:good

Joe Calzaghe has nothing to prove to anyone who has followed his career or the SMW division in the last 15 years.

 

Props to Joe, he's finally stepping up to the plate. Forget about Hopkins/Wright/Taylor, Kessler is the biggest threat.

 

IMO both Kessler and Calzaghe would butcher Hopkins or Wright.

And as much as I think he's a twat, Mundine would pose both of them (Wright & Hopkins) trouble too.
