What is it about Joe Calzaghe?

When you are the greatest whoever lived you can't expect people to stop talking about you.

Because the super middleweight division is hot these days. And people like to match him with current fighters.

 

The man is a GOAT!

Thats why people cant stop talking about the man.

There is no blueprint. 46-0 yeah baby!

 

:good

 

The guy defies what many percieve as a great fighter. People think you have to be built like iron Mike, thuggish like Bhop, or cocky like Roy to be the best. Joe shits on that illusion because he is just a bird chested white guy that doesn't look or act menacing.

Imagine the responce of WWF fans if an olympic level wrestler, that was just some ordinary guy, beat all their favoritr hyped up characters.

I always expected Joe to get exposed in his next fight, but time after time he proved that IDKSAB! Eventually I learned the difference between hype and the sweet science.

 

:blabla

 

Posts like this are why Calzaghe has a name.

He has a rabid fan base that people like to make fun of.

 

You have to understand the British boxing fan's psychology. He lives in the ruins of a once-great empire that not too long ago covered fully 1/3 of the planet's land mass. It is now relegated to a tiny, dimly-lit island the size of the state of Oregon that is gradually but inexorably being taken over by Muslims while at the same time being eaten from within by the cancer of socialism. It's ****ed and everyone knows it whether they want to admit it or not. Boxing is a sport that fetishizes greatness and singular achievement like none other. The British empire no longer stands in the world pantheon, and Great Britain can produce few individuals who can stand in the pantheons of their respective fields. Joe Calzaghe is the only British fighter of the last generation who holds even a remote claim to greatness. In all reality, and by any objective analysis, he was one of the best fighters of his era, but not an all-time great. The hard-core British boxing fan thus completely ignores Calzahge's failings and magnifies his incredibly calculated achievements to the point where Slappy hopefully stands level with actually greats boxers. It's an intensely vicarious and an incredibly pathetic fandom. And incredibly annoying and transparent.

 

I wonder the same thing, I guess he's like Thatcher, he divides opinion

but unlike her, I actually like Joe

 

Because he's the best boxer in the whole wide world ever.
