Comments Thread For: Calzaghe: Lost Hunger, Fading Skills Forced My Retirement

[yuppie]

Calzaghe was a heartles bum. The bum never had the desire to go overseas and become a great. He fought his last 2 fights in Vegas and MSG so that he could say that he has fought at all the big venues.

I believe that people actually started to turn away from boxing after they saw a Calzaghe fight. That's how disgusting his style was. Good riddance.

Absolute bull****, i dont usualy mind your posts about Kahn because i pretty much know the kind of fan boy kind of **** you write. But when you write something about another boxer it shows how ****ing little you actually know. He fought his last two fights against Hopkins and Jones because the fans were asking him too, personaly i think he didnt need to fight two past their prime fighters..but why not take two easy fights to get two nice pay days?
I dont get this criticism of fighters, you can look at any fighters resume and go "well he didnt fight this guy" and so on, its an "internet boxing fan" kind of attitude.

I agree with everything you say except hopkins did not turn out to be so easy lol ... I think you have to have some knowledge of fighting yourself, actually being in the ring to understand its not as easy as it looks, even if its just sparring with somebody.

This wazaa has exposed himself, I knew he kinda looked at boxing like its wwe from his khan fascination, but the reality is more fans should exercise before they criticise!

joe retired from the game on top jones and bhop retire messing up there legacy and are producing horrible boring fights

Well.. did he ever get knocked out in 1 minute like KING KAHN? Hahaha. No he didn't. Calzaghe stood infront of his opposition and fought them. Amir Khan is the horrible fighter, throws some jabs and runs off. When Maidana catches him, career is over. Look at it like this, Joe beat Kessler easily. Kessler beat Froch. Froch beat Jean Pascal, who is the man all of a sudden. No doubt he beat Hopkins, Hopkins landed one good punch. The rest of the fight was all Calzaghe. He dominated Jeff Lacy also. Anyway, I hope Khan gets his jaw broke against Maidana.

If Calzaghe stuck around, they would have been facing a shell of his former self, and would still have probably been beaten.

Prime Calzaghe would have easily beat the likes of Froch, Pascal, Dawson, Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, Ward, and Dirrell. He is a whole different class of fighter.

Calzaghe is not a class above Ward at all.


My, how some peoples' perspective on Joe's accomplishments must have become distorted for them to make such statements.

In a time when boxers like Alexander, Ward, and Dawson are hyped up and labelled as future greats, Calzaghe deserves a lot more credit than he is given by most boxing fans.

All of them are young, and will be doing big thing's in their careers. Ward in particular. I can't say the same for Joe

in calzaghe's mind he was a great unbeatable fighter but when a 43 year old hopkins beat him he realized his entire career was fraudulent and he folded mentally. he's very similar to hamed. both got beat once and never recovered cept calzaghe got the gift win on his resume but obviously he knows he lost that fight so the effect was the same as losing.

i think your in the wrong forum pal, because you dont know what the fcuk your talking about.

what does that say about khan then who has already been knocked the fcuk out! Cant you tell your just a khan fan and not a boxing fan because calzaghe was good to watch. and i dont think iv ever heard of a "bum" that ruled a division for years, was a 2 weight world champ and beat the p4p number 3 who was the highest on the p4p list for his weight! oh and hes undefeated.....

id advise you to carry on sucking khan **** because you know nothing about anything else!

It would've been hard to continue fighting that style
