And still do. The hand excuse is used for the fight being so close. And to try and justify not giving Reid a well deserved rematch. Calzaghe's groupies say a Reid rematch wouldn't of meant anything. How's that? The fight was very close. And Calzaghe didn't go on to fight a big name. He instead fought two bums in his next fights. Rick Thornberry and David Starie. The Starie fight was so awful that Showtime almost dropped Calzaghe themself. Calzaghe blames it on another busted hand. But yet goes on and fights Omar Shieka (premature stoppage) a couple of months later. Calzaghe's busted hand excuse is exactly that. A fucking excuse.Quote:

Its a fun style to watch, and im begining to like him, the fight with Byron Mitchell, that was like Hearns Hagler , just bombing on each other. He throws so many shots, I just wonder does he do that the whole fight? Ive only seen highlights of a few of his fights, and its just like he never stops punching.He does kind of lob his fists from the waist, but they look like the got some snap in em.
Its sad that Joe doesnt get the credit he deserves. But thats got a lot to do i think with his promoter and choice of opponents. 2 examples I can give is: (i) Sven Ottke - fought in his own country for years. Fought the same class of opponent every time and we never got ta see how good he could have been. (ii) Ricky hatton - probably could have stayed in england under warren and ended his career undefeated. Instead, broke away from warren and is bout ta fight castillo(huge fight). Wonder if joe would give Mundine a shot.....
Why would he need to do so? Calzaghe doesnt have an eating disorder.Quote:

Im actually a big Hopkins fan, but its easy to dig at any opponents resume. And Calzaghe sure takes his share of digging. Of course to an extent it is justified, but some of it seems to border on obsessive and mania ;)
CC mate thats what i think tooQuote:

Clazaghe v Homer Simpson before you laugh think about it ok
Simpson is slow

WOT DO YOU GUYS THINK ?
