Why does Joe Calzaghe get so much hate?

[Control-]

naseem hameds res is hardly better than calzaghes

[Control-]

Masterful performance that brings a tear to me eye

what did you think of him exposing overrated roy jones? i loved the way he dodged all his punches and did a lil dance

[I Love Jesus!]

Calzaghe has the most pathetic "title" run in history. 18 defenses of the wbo title without trying to unify and like 80% of the opponents not even ranked in the top 10. WTF?:wt:

Are you all there?

Roid deserved it, he was acting the fool with his opponents for years, what goes around...

Why do you still have a low-rent club-fighter in your avatar?

yes, are you?

people keep bashing lennox and naseem all the time, they don't talk much about cooper or fitzsimmons but i always hear "lewis lost to vitali and avoided a prime tyson + rid**** bowe(i know right lol)" or "naseem fought nobody and was exposed by barrera"

it's still a decent resume, lacy for example was considered a favorite and calzaghe won every round

The only people who say Lewis lost to Vitali are Eastern European racist assh*les (of which this site has many, unfortunately). You can't "win" a fight when your face is falling the **** off, and Lewis is one of the top 10 Heavyweight ATGs EVER. That's generally agreed upon by everybody who has followed boxing for more than a few years.

Same goes with Hamed, though I personally dislike the ****, his record is HOF worthy and he had ATG power for his weight.

Lacy was nothing but a hype job. Anybody who had seen him fight more than a few times could see that. Did I think Calzaghe would school him as he did? No, but I thought it would be more of a Calzaghe fight based on seeing how poorly Lacy looked in recent fights (The Reid fight, especially).

i don't see how that's relevant to the thread? 46 have tried brah.

Could say the same about Chavez Jr.

Only fighter on his entire resume I can give credit for tbh is Kessler

Chris John >>Joe.

Loved it when he pouted and shoved his face into Roy's stomach with his hands behind his back. Even with Roy's blazing prime speed he was too scared to do anything.

unfortunately yes there are a lot of em, he did get his face smashed and it was a good stoppage i got him in the top 15

hammed's power was amazing and i personally think he deserves the hof not because of his resume but because of his antics...he was always really exciting to watch his style was one of a kind

reid was pretty past it and like 35 if i remember yet held up pretty good until the stoppage
