Alright this is enough hype people, Joe Calzaghe aint superman!

For god sake can everyone stop hugging his fucking nuts! I respect the guy and he is very good...but now that he beat lacy, he is unbeatable. Let me let you guys in on a little secret....lacy was never great! He was muscly and he had power but he was no boxer. He used power to win and he met a boxer in calzaghe. I always thought lacy was overhyped and one dimensional. Now apparently kessler aint shit compared to calzaghe, mundine aint shit compared to calzaghe, beyer aint shit compared to calzaghe, green aint shit compared calzaghe and he is totally unbeatable? What a load of crap, styles make fights people and the only one of them with a style resembling lacy is danny green and he would get beaten by calzaghe. But kessler...the guy is fucking huge and he can hit....but he can box unlike lacy, it wouldnt be a walk in the park for joe. Mundine is very very quick, great evasive skills....not heaps powerful but he got some power..he knocked out thornberry which is something joe didnt. Beyer.....he aint great but when the odds are stacked against him he seems to fight well. He probably wouldnt beat joe but dont under estimate him. Like i said, all the respect in the world for joe and i think he is the man in the division but for god sake....he is not unbeatable, lacy was the first champ he had fought in something like 11 years and mostly the rest were nobodies. All the hype is just really starting to get to me and i think some people need reality checks.

The Americans has to hype Calzaghe as he made their best SMW look foolish, very foolish.

Your right :coolclick:

Calzaghe gets hyped because he's the best in a seemingly weak division. It's "seemingly weak" because the talent there is young and unseasoned.

If Calzaghe needs tougher fights he should step up to 175 or go down to 160!

How did I know that you two would be on this thread like a Fly on shite?... ::**

(Calzaghe beats them all... I don't think any one has said he can walk through any one the same way he did lacy)

"You two" meaning???

I respect Joe's ability I just think Lacy was a little green for him. Calzaghe can totally dominate the division though I mean vs Kessler or anyone else he'll win. Let him fight Taylor or Hopkins or Tarver or even Johnson for a tougher fight

well 3 people replied Lyle... two of which are potent Kessler fan boys who can rarely if ever make a post on here with it 'it all coming back to kessler'.

Use your head and think who 'those two' might be...

K, just checking that's all....I give everyone a fair shake....but Calzaghe has fought better fighters than Kessler who seems to me to be a 168 version of Nicolay Valuev with the opposition he fights

Calzaghe is actually officially superman after beating lacy so convincingly ::**



incase u didnt know lol

He was RJJ-esque on that night imo. He was simply brilliant and Lacy IS championship material and I still think he will be champ but Calzaghe is one of the all time great 168 lbers now imo. I don't think anyone in the division could have beat him that night. That terrible terrible night.

They won't give Lacy ANY credit because it would elevate Calzaghe too high above Kessler and they couldn't cope with it... ::**

Honestly... search the pair of thems posts... the talk about no one other than Kessler or Jeff Lacy...

i agree with the original post,im a huge calzaghe fan,i was there in manchester and anybody seeing that performance live would find it difficult to say anything other than 'joe would destroy x,y and z'.
however there are competitive fights at smw for him,kessler in particular.'styles make fights' applies to joe more than any other fighter i can think of,joe is most vunerable when the fight doesnt get him fired up,i see that as his biggest danger at smw,there is a risk of joe beating himself in that situation.The better the opponent the better joe fights,i believe he deems the other smw as being unfit to share a ring with him-on the occasions he has thought that before he has looked awful.(thornberry,starie for example)

If he had to read how 'Lacy are bum and Kessler are king' 24/7 it would be over for Kessler with in a round... its so irratating... I don't mind other people's opinions... I can't stand nuthuggers ;)

isn't that Joe C's plan? fight the winner of Tarver/B-HOP? who else honestly stands a chance at beating him....not Kessler, mundine or green.....He's not going to drop to 160....

lyle,were you joking about calzaghe dropping down to 160?
