    Dude there is no point in even arguing with these ****in idiots.


    It seems to me ever since Pavlik appeared on these scene the number of truly thick posters has gone through the roof. Coincidence ? :huh

    I don't think he fears Pavlik's power as much as he fears Pavlik's youth. Bottom line, Calzaghe is not afraid of being dropped or seriously hurt but he's definitely scared to death of losing... And Kelly Pavlik should be Danger number one on his list but at the same time, and paradoxically, The Ghost would erase any single doubt about Calzaghe's legacy to the future memory. You simply gat to take the big risk, gat to do big things to be great.

    Yeah, I'm sure Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and Reid don't have the ability to KO someone.

    Your probably right Doc !

    To be honest I'd rather watch Pavlik over Calzaghe but the ****in Calzaghe abuse on here is getting mental

    I agree he shirked Pavlik to beat up a shot fighter, but Byron Mitchell was a good puncher when Calzaghe fought him.

    There may be a bit of truth in that , but Calzaghe is clearly on the slide too so why does he have to fight yet another young gun to prove himself ? Jones is the last guy from his generation left to fight ( Toney aside but Joe is too vain to blob out and meet him at HW )

    And how does chasing a man with one foot in retirement make Pavlik such a badass ?

    I am right. I checked his posts, seems to be a recurring theme throughout all of them.

    And I agree, the abuse is ****ING mental.:good

    Yet somehow I feel a similar reaction to the Lacy thrashing is inevitable. Pavlik was overated blah blah...........


    Still, I'd rather he'd fought Pavlik than Jones as their styles blend better.

    Opener poster immediatly shows that he's another clueless Calzaghe hater. Honestly, its like the people on this forum have only been following boxing for the last 3 years or something.

    Calzahge has avoided big punchers ?

    Byron Mitchell ?

    Charles Brewer ?


    I've gotta laugh sometimes. It's like people totally forget who Calzaghe actually fought and just mention the names "manfredo and bika".

    People who Calzaghe fought and beat in Reid, Mitchell, Brewer etc would be the top boys in this division right now

    Even Omar Sheika who Calzaghe stopped, beat Glen Johnson someone who Calzaghe is constantly accused of ducking.

    Maybe the same reason Roy Jones was his whole career? Oh that's right Calzaghe has never been brutally KOed like Glass Jaw Roy. :deal

    Calzaghe deserves more credit if anything he has beaten fighters with one hand when he has broke the other and has not quit :deal

    Id like to see any of you fight a world title fight for 9 rounds with a broken hand.

    Vitali Klitschko quit with just 3 rounds to go against light puncher byrd, and he gets **** but no one gives calzaghe his props for fighting one handed do they.

    The calzaghe hatred is deep seated on here, why do people have to hate on fighters all the time its ok having an oppinion but just to hate and troll for no reason sucks.

    lets see 45-0 32 ko's which is 71 % ffs them was 20-0 with 19 ko's at one point :bbb

    ;)

    Sadly there's no shortage of these dumb ****s mate. I don't mind criticisim and lord knows Joe dose deserve some but it just goes waaaaay over the top. I can't think of a fighter on the world stage who is more despised.
