I wouldnt say anything against the the Welsh Dragon .
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
I thoroughly dislike his hairstyle.
As i said earlier
Jeff Lacy
Just were never that good as shown by Vitali Tsypko twice Omar Sheika,Peter Manfredo,Epifanio Mendoza, Jermain i can no longer stay upright Taylor,Otis Griffin and Roy Jones.
Mikkel Kessler
I thought was a good win till Andre Ward did alot better job.
Bernard Hopkins
Who i thought won as do many others.
Roy Jones
Well Danny Green proved how shot Roy was and lets bare in mind Roy dropped Calzaghe heavy in the 1st round.
Thing is with Calzaghe he came along at the right or wrong time Eubank,Benn and Collins were past it or retired Jones and Toney had out grown the Super middleweight division and no matter how many times Calzaghe said he struggled at the weight mainly after boring points wins he never moved up till it was to late and against old fighters past there best.
He pulled out of good fights or didnt sign for whatever reason even Frank Warren has said this about him that he pulled out of about 10 fights he lined him up. Like Antwun Echols, Syd Vanderpool, Glen Johnson and many more.
I think the 46-0 blinds a lot of people come on shoot me down.

Why talked about hate regarding Calzaghe
he's done what he's done, he's a living legend in his weight class.
Wonder who changed my title bet it was MR FACT.
I only did this as people start there own thread then it gets taken over by hate for Calzaghe and we drift away from the threads original point.

I had Calzaghe as the #1 p4p guy when he retired. No one knew how one dimensional Lacy was until Calzaghe took the chance and exposed him. But you can't excuse some of the things people gripe about Calzaghe's career. He did pull out of many fights that would've been interesting/challenging. Namely, Glen Johnson twice. He never left 168 until very late. Trouble dragging him out of his backyard. There are many rightful gripes but you can't deny that Calzaghe was some talent.

I never cared much for Calzaghe or his horrible trainer/father....but Ricky Hatton should have followed in Joe's career path. Go from Kostya Tszyu to Sharmba Mitchell to Erik Morales to Marco Antonio Barerra to a couple more old fuckers at 147 and then retire undefeated.
If Ottke, Calzaghe, or Michalczweski had the stones to come to the US to fight RJJ in the late 90's early 2000's then they would have had the shit beaten right out of them and hell even OLD Roy and OLD Hopkins gave a PRIME Joe Calzaghe trouble.
It must be a hollow feeling being "the best" just because you never dared to take a live challenge....oh well, I'm sure this will just go down as me hating on the Brits but like I give a fuck
Calzaghe was extremely talented but he never tested himself....I don't mean to seem 100% one sided but it kind of pisses me off when he had the chance to fight RJJ and Hopkins at various points in his career and never did it until late and RJJ and Hopkins piss me off because they had chances to take on bigger fish but waited too long too, although Roy did fight better competition than Hopkins and Hopkins fought better competition than Calzaghe.
F**k me, he beat everyone put in front of him.
You keep saying he waited till Jones and hopkins were too old, Joe was only 3-4 years younger, all thats doing is making excuces for Roy and the like. Much like people do with muhummad ali late in his career, getting beaten by allcomers. If Roy jones and the other boys were too old, then they shouldn't of gotten in the ring.
NO EXCUSES!!!!!
big Joe is the man, undefeated man that is
