    Roy ain't fought nobody, Oscar had at least taken Joy Mayweather, P4P elite and at the top of his game to the limit in the fight before his last.

    What SMW tournament had Hanshaw won? :think Noone knew who he was along with the obscure Ajamu. Fact is, Roy had already been destroyed more impressively twice 4 years earlier and also lost a most lopsided decision to Tarver 3 years earlier.

    Headline of the news is deceiving. If you had any english skills, you'd see Calzaghe never meant any disrespect to Oscar. Just said the truth.

    I don't understand this thread:huh Wasn't Calzaghe just basically saying that a once great fighter is no longer a patch on himself? There is no dig at Manny either from what i can see. All he is saying is what we can all see. Oscar was much better in the past.

    Calzaghes ten times the fighter De la hoya is.P4P Joe would **** De la Hoya,too much fighting heart and intensity their for the Golden one to cope with so i doubt its jeolousy as history will view Cal more favourably than Hoya.Joes spot onwith his comments.

    Do boxers legacies become damaged when they fight on for 5 years after they were great? Thats not a loaded question, just interested. In my opinion if Lennox Lewis was still boxing now and had 8 losses on his card, he wouldn't be as well received as he is.

    So Calzaghe gives Oscar full credit for being a great boxer in the past but says he has so much money now that he is not hungry enough for it and past his best.
    He also states you could see pac was the hungrier fighter of the two in the fight.

    I dont get why this statement is wrong? :huh

    I would pretty much say its the general consensus of many posters here.

    Do you think that the oscar that fought pac was a hungry prime oscar?
    I am pretty sure its his worst performance in the ring. And you could see from round 2 onwards that he didnt want to be in that fight.
    From 5 onwards he wanted to throw in the towel.
    A very sad sight.

    What does it have to do with the level of opposition that both have fought?
    Calzaghe said he was a great fighter in the past, I think thats what you were saying when you stated oscar fought lots of prime greats. So you agree with Calzaghe yet he is wrong :patsch

    Yes I too wondered this. Maybe it's because it's calzaghe saying he was great in the past and not now that has upset the op? :huh

    I don't know. Calzaghe does imply that he has aged better than Oscar i suppose, but he also justifies the reasoning for it. Oscar hasn't been competing consistently for years, Joe has. He should be in better shape even if he is older. I still don't see what is wrong with his opinions, enlighten me if i am being too supportive of a Welshbloke to whom i don't really give a ****.

    ^ Calfaggy is making a mockery of British reserve. You guys should shut him up. He disgraces the crown. He sheds shame upon you all.

    Bunch of illiterate morons. Learn to understand English. Calzaghe isn't even talking trash in this article. He's just saying the truth.

    Get it right the judges said Calzaghe beat Hopkins I dont buy it and thought Hopkins shaded it.
    If Calzaghe is half the fighter he seems to think he is he'll take Nards offer to fight in Wales for the rematch.
    Aww but Joe said "I dont do rematches ..... unless your name is Mario Veit and I stopped you in the first " ROFLMAO
