Non-British perspective: Froch easier to like than was Calzaghe

[Althugz]

For gods sakes Tito! How dare you question JC's career and choice to fight Peter Manfredo Jr in his 40 something'th fight?? Can't you see he challenged himself at least 3 or 4 times in his career!? Such a hater!!

I'm British "smart ass" - Which also has zero to do with JC's credentials as a boxer. My parents are cypriot.

As for your question, there have been a few but they mostly sucked. Firat Arslan, Oktay Urkal at welter (was he ever champ?), Selcuk Aydin will probably get his hands on a useless trinket at some point (he sucks balls).

I still don't get your point? Did you have one apart from the ever mature, "My country is better than yours?"

This ladies and gents is exactly what I mean by "The Brits" that can't be objective. It's not all of us but many just can't. Blind patriotism I'm afraid I don't do..Which is why I say what I see when it comes to JC's career whilst you merely go off topic about Turkish fighters and other such irrelevant fluff.

Let's stay on topic shall we?

You must have spent some time on Boxrec , it's not normally like you have a answer for every thing
as you say you are all way's right.

When you refer to "Brits" in the third person and then have a Turkish Flag as your first flag next to your avatar how is anyone supposed to guess that your parents are Cypriot and that you class yourself as British? You are projecting a blind patriotism that really is not there for most posters in this debate. Your own prejudice has blinded you to the facts that the only ones getting emotional and "angry" in this debate are the Calzaghe haters.

You because you are a bit of a noob who used to hate boxing and still have to fully appreciate it's complexities, start calling Brit fans "deluded", moderators "morons" and "douche lords" and saying things like it was "Jeff Lacy FFS", Lacy was the overwhelming favourite much like Bute in the Froch fight.

Titofan started with his opening post, whilst claiming to be about comparing Calzaghe with Froch, he quickly degenerated into slagging off Calzaghe ,with nonsensical arguments about him slapping and having a "gaudy record", whatever that is,maybe because Trinidad lost to Roy Jones Jr and Hopkins? who knows. It then turns out that he hadn't bothered to watch a lot of his fights or find out much about his change of styles, not surprising really from someone who finishes the same post saying of Froch "I'd like to see him fight more in the U.S., where we'd have more of a chance to see him" Well guess what? nobody stateside was interested because they had already written him off. When Calzaghe fought Kessler in front of 50 000 fans at the Millenium stadium they televised that in America, that must say something about Joe Calzaghe's likeability.

Ok bro... I don't dislike you as I do Fenny, whose arrogance is surpassed only by his non-sensical arguments. But I'm noticing a disturbing trend here. You don't counter an argument against Calzaghe's style by lashing out at how many champion boxers Turkey has or doesn't have, or by mentioning Trinidad's losses. Trust me.... it doesn't look good in what should be a debate about Calzaghe's style.

Some of you people need to learn debating techniques. But I'm not picking on you. I've seen some other doozies on this thread. For instance... a poster claimed Ali used to slap also. But when I gave him a technical explanation as to why Ali was not a slapper.... his counter argument was: "Oh yes he did." Haven't heard from him since.

Someone else reads my argument about why Calzaghe's opponents haven't been all that.... and counters with: "Oh yeah? List the fighters you claim Calzaghe ducked?" Hard to argue with warped logic like that.

@TitoFan I have not lashed out and will not be trusting your judgement when it comes to what works in a debate unless I am eager to have my ass whipped. I did not counter any argument about Calzaghe's style by bringing up Turkish Boxers, I merely responded calmly to Altugs usual tactic of overcompensating for the fact he is British and therefore could never see himself as neutral, unless he slags off not only British Boxers like Calzaghe, Froch and Hatton but also UK fans who he refers to as Brits. Apparently even though your signature says otherwise it is inexcusable to have any national pride when it comes to boxing and so Dia Bando despite being a proud Welsh man should just say nothing when Altug gets a bit personal and precious?. As for Trinidad's losses they are the only common opponents he shares with JC so they are entirely relevant and may explain your irrational rage against Calzaghe's style.

What you and Altug seem to be saying is that every judge, boxing commentator, trainer, boxer or fan who thought JC's punches were legitimate scoring (and in some cases debilitating) shots, and not slaps are both deluded and in collusion?

You really aren't as intelligent as you think you are. If you were you would have made the observation that I haven't once made any personal insults to Dia Bando. Despite him repeatedly calling me all the names under the sun. Since finding out he was an old man, I won't go there. Was brought up a little better than to insult an elder. So he can say what he wants. Personally, I find it immature for a man of his age but I won't insult him.

Secondly, I didn't once say that there was anything wrong with national pride. It just simply means in most cases that you can't be objective if you carry too much of it. I just pointed that out. Nothing particularly wrong with it it that's your thing.

Again, you say I'm over compensating for it by slagging off British fighters? Is that way I've been giving Froch credit recently? Is that why Chris Eubank is one of my favourite boxers of all time?

Once again - I SAY WHAT I SEE. Race, nationality or any of that shit doesn't come into it. Go incorrectly analyse someone else - you're like this weird cyber stalker.. :/

May I ask you is there any Turkish Boxers , that are World Champions in the pro ranks I can't think of any
can you smart ass.

I'm sorry, dude. But what the flying fuck does this have to with anything?

Jury, please disregard the previous argument.

..and Greenbeanz tried to defend this argument? Absolute fail..and he expected me to read the rest of his drivel?

You are bang on with the trend you notice :- Calzaghe fans will never debate. ALWAYS deflect. They'll call you out on your parents nationality, hobbies, your favourite boxers nationality and why is that? I guess they ran out of meaningful arguments for Joke Calzaghe's career. That tells me everything I need to know.
