    His SMW rivals before moving up were Lacy and Kessler the other remaining world champs, both beaten by Calzaghe.
    Oh you must mean the British champ whos trying to avenge a loss to a shot version of Kessler who is in a big fight with an even more faded version next :oops:

    Calzaghe took an embarrassing 9 years to unify with other belt holders, who may be considered other rivals.

    Again, your previous statement:-

    Has been proven to be bull**** as Calzaghe never beat "all of his rival SMWs before moving up"

    I cut down your sentences, nah I am just pottshotting, however you not only cut down my sentences, you never even attempted to answer the following posts of mines:-

    attendance is not the only factor, Calzaghe/Manfredo was shown on ITV while Kessler Froch is being considered to be shown on HBO in the states, Danish television, German television as well as Sky Box Office. Not only that, Kessler Froch was sold out within hours of the fight being announced.

    To top it off, Froch will probably be earning more than Calzaghe did, and Froch and Kessler are two geniuine world champs at the moment, while Manfredo was just a Contender runner up who you thought was the winner but I had to school you on that.

    I have replied to every single one of your posts, while you have no answers for the following:-

    I have not denied no facts, and the fact is Calzaghe said "I dont want tough fights", and Calzaghe never fought Johnson, Dawson, Pavlik, Froch, Tarver when the fights were feasible.

    You forgot to mention Eastman/Stieglitz and Beyer and it also looks like he ducked the ever tough Antwun Echols aswell

    You've got to seriously question the intelligence of Calzaghe fans.

    He said he didn't want tough fights, yet his fans think everyone was ducking him.

    He said he knew his limitations, yet his fans think he had none.

    In 1999 he said he was not chasing Roy Jones, yet his fans think it's Roys fault the fight didn't happen when it mattered.

    He said he didn't do rematches, yet his fans have no problem with him rematching useless bum Veit who he stopped in 1 round but not doing the same with fighters who he actually struggled with.

    He said that Roy Jones was shot and that fighting him would be pointless, yet he did fight Jones and his fans still give him credit for it.

    Why would he have called out Johnson when Johnson lost the eliminator to fight him, not once but twice?
    Do you have video evidence of Calzaghe saying that? Or have you read what else was mentioned rather than just an odd bit, as we have proven how you try and edit quotes :yep
    We know he called out Hopkins back in 02, which I guess means he didnt regard him if you put as much emphasis on that quote as you do

    Why do people HATE Calzahge so much and bash him every chance they get?

    He's definitely the GOAT of SMW from his resume alone. He was very underrated and had a brilliance in him that you can't find in many other fighters

    His ability to recoperate, to adjust, his punching speed, his will to win were astronomical.

    He was something else.

    Just like a son asks his daddy to read him a bedtime story, bailey asks me to give him his daily bedtime pwnage, to proceed:-

    Were Calzaghe, Kessler and Lacy the only world champions?

    This is another false statement uttered, by you claiming other than Calzaghe Kessler and Lacy were the other remaining champs:-

    Owned.
