What is it about Joe Calzaghe?

Time for the angry, billigerent haters to choke on their tears of envy. Joe was something else and still is

 

There are a number of reasons why Joe Calzaghe is ESB's least favourite son.

All roads hardly ever lead to Calzaghe, hardly any major victory ever leads back to Joe, he is the bottom of the ESB food chain, (much like the Team ****** Corporation) he was 46-0 and there was always a blueprint on how to beat him. But silly billy patients who are strapped to their beds for 23 hours a day, are always going to love him.

It's clear that the majority of Calzaghe lovers on ESB, clearly never saw Roy or Toney fight in their prime, and only started watching boxing in 2006. Since Joe's victory over Lacy, his fans have lost touch with reality and they believe he was better than Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, because he never lost. A typical fan would believe that Joe could in fact have beaten Godzilla, because he could adapt to any style, and he had a fantastic engine, which would have allowed him to slap Godzilla down to size, with over 1000 slaps per round.

When Hopkins and Jones were unifying at 160 and 175, Joe was fighting in one of the weakest divisions in boxing.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were clowning fighters such as Tito, Ruiz and Jirov, Joe was fighting Veit, Ashira, and Sobot.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were testing themselves against good fighters, Joe was laying on the canvas after a knockdown by Sugar Ray Salem, and struggling with Robin Reid.

When the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were relaxing on their lawn chairs after a hard days training, Joe was sprinting out of his door at that count of 2, after he'd realised that the mailman had dropped off his new passport that his Mum had ordered him.

While the likes of Jones, Hopkins and Toney were trash talking and creating excitement fighting other great fighters, Joe was washing Frank W's car for a bit of extra pocket money, until a huge WBO fight got made.

While the likes of Hopkins were fighting in front of millions, Joe was trying to put a show on at the local ice rink.

When Jones, Hopkins and Toney were fighting other good fighters in their own Country, Joe was pretending to find his his lost passport, even though he'd thrown it away.

When the dust had settled at 175, and Hopkins had lost twice to Taylor, and was 43, Calzaghe obtained a new passport, miraculously overcame his fear of flying, and finally decided to move up in weight, even though he'd been starving himself to make 168 for 4 years. Even though his own Father thought that he'd lost, and he scraped the win by the skin of his teeth, he proclaimed himself as "The legend Killer" then made it clear that he didn't do rematches.

When Roy was 9 weeks from being 40, and it was more than 4 years after Tarver and Johnson had knocked him out, Joe finally had the balls to fight the man he'd hid from all of his career, and who he'd dismissed twice leading up to the fight. Even though many experts had Joe to win, due to the fact that Roy hadn't won at elite level for 5 years, Joe thought he was actually in the ring with the 1994 James Toney version of Roy.

While Jones and Toney continue to fight like the proud warriors that they are, Joe dances badly on tv and sniffs lines of coke.

Lets's be honest, there's nothing much to love. His ugly slapping style, his reluctance to fight the best, his reluctance to leave Frank, his fruitcake fans trying to convince people he'd have troubled a prime Roy, even though he struggled with Reid.

Mentally challenged patients at the Newbridge nut house are always going to love him, and that will never change. The team ******s will continue to receive their medication, and all roads will continue to not lead back to Calslappy.

 

Enjoyed that post

The Clazaghe saga continues

 

:good:good nice!

 

Joe fought in the worst 168 division known to man and still didn't fight 75% of the top 10.
Frank even tired to get a fight made with a guy who had been dead for two years called Darrin Morris.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Ha! How's it going my man? I hope you received my message and I hope you're well.

 

One of the funniest things I've ever read on here.

 

Hopkins beat him...

 

Most people who hate Calzaghe are butthurt Americans. They can't accept the fact that the best ever at 168 isn't American and despite Ward looking good, there is no clear challenge at this point in time for Joe's 168 crown. Ward lost some ground by fighting one worthless joke fight in the last year and also has the problem that his fights couldn't pack out a phone booth. Regardless of what they say many Americans are bitter about the dismantling of Lacy and the close but clear victory over Bhop. That's why people like Slothrop give us their classroom psychological assessment of a country they know nothing about. Highlighted by the moron who called Calzaghe english and the morons who agreed with him

 

But not true.

Darrin Morris was moved up the WBO ranking twice after he died, to the eternal shame of that organization, but there were never any attempts to arrange a fight between Morris and Calzaghe.

I have yet to find any evidence to support the idea that Calzaghe or VVarren were trying to get a fight with Morris, and every time I have seen Morris's advance up the rankings brought up on this or any other forum it is simply mentioned as the fact that he moved up the ranking and nothing about any potential fight against Calzaghe.

Basically, it seems that the anti-Calzaghe brigade use the WBO's monumental **** up to bash Calzaghe but dont appear to have any evidence that he had anything to do with the fighter in question.

 

Yea pal will pm you soon as get the time! :good

 

Don't worry mate, as long as you received it, it doesn't matter. I know how busy you are at the moment, so just reply back to me whenever, there's no rush at all. :good

 

I know mate, Bailey posted the link in full about 2-3 months ago.

When I said it was one of the funniest things I'd ever read on here, I wasn't referring directly to Dino's statement, I was referring to the whole sorry saga, and how worthless the WBO was back then. It was an absolute joke how such a thing could have happened.

Joe was too good to be defending that belt for all those years.
