will boxing not be as popular now Joe Calzaghe retired

If from London you sheep shagger. And no the Welsh didnt give the world boxing. The best thing that ever came out of Wales is Catherine Zeta Jones.

 

The only thing I will miss about Joe is that he wont get no old men in the ring with him to boost his resume again. I even thought he was gonna call out Ray Leonard for a fight.

 

I see. So when you say 'not popular', you actually mean 'very popular, but with people who you don't personally consider worthy'.

 

Dont think so! His fights were boring and not beautiful to watch and with a few exceptions he only fought cherrypicked opponents.

So, Calzahge will definitely not be missed.

 

Calazaghe who? ahh right the good british supermiddleweight.

 

edit

 

Assholes. Show the dude some respect. The americans dont like him because hes british and wanted him to fight dawson and the english dont like him because hes welsh amd want him to fight froch. Hes retired now so the least you can do is show him respect. his handspeed is the most incredible in boxing today, hes undefeated in 46 bouts, he unified the super middle weight division, held the WBO for 11 years, was a champion in two weights simultaneously plus he has beaten formerworld champs, the up and coming stars and the rival champions. for those reasons he deserves credit and the fact that you cant even give that to him is dispicable.

 

I give him credit at supermiddleweight, but his last 2 fights.....geriatrics

 

He will be missed a little in the uk,but to be honest it was only in his last few fights he generated much interest anyway most of his fights were boring 12 rounders against inferior opposition or easy stoppages against the likes of Pudwill or Manfreado.I certainly wont miss his thousand slaps a round style or the "this is great stuff" baised commentry that went with it.I doubt Carl Froch will end his career unbeaten but im sure he is going to be far more interesting to watch.

 

One of those 'geriatrics' was then and still is now by far the best opponent around that weight class and a top 5 P4P fighter. Who went on to put a near shut-out on the Middleweight king and P4P #7.

 

your point mate? i give him credit for a close decision against a 43 year old ATG. Dont tell me you consider that career defining>:scaredas:

 

Would you give someone more credit for a close win over a 28 year old who was a top five P4P rated fighter at the same time?

 

I give credit to anyone who steps in the ring.

 

What a bizzare way to avoid addressing the question.

 

you re just boring. Ofcourse i do. your point being?
