Thanls skel you beat me to it, I hate it when people make references to stuff they have no clue about. Europe is a continent and as such has a larger population than the united states, and also the united states is not the second most popolous country in the world, but 3rd, and the first and second are china and india with over a billion people each!

He's been champ for nearly 10 year and most people only recognize him for his win over Lacy i think myself Joe Calzaghe is overrated in 20 defences he hasn't really fought any major league fighters at the top of there game it could be because he won't go and fight in the states or the fact that Warren doesn't deliver but Warren can't be held fully to blame these are Calzaghes 21 world title fights he must be so proud of himself.



GOOD

A weight drained Chris Eubank at a weeks notice UD12
Robin Reid who some thought won some did'nt should have had a rematch SD12
Omar Shieka TKO5 not a bad result
Richie Woodhall TKO10 but had already had a beating off Beyer
An old Charles Brewer UD12
Byron Mitchell TKO2 a good result
Overrated Jeff Lacy American hype machine UD12 then most think Calzaghes GOD


THE BAD

Branko Sobot TKO3
Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra TKO10 he was 37 though
Rick Thornberry UD12 Henry Wharton TKO'd him in 5
David Starie UD12 abit of a dance Dean Francis managed to ko him
Mario Veit KO1 Were'nt a good fighter should'nt have been their
Will McIntyre TKO4 same old crap
Miguel Angel Jimenez UD12 Another average fighter
Tocker Pudwill TKO2
Mger Mkrtchian TKO7 this fight was really crap
Kabary Salem UD12 both down how i don't know it was a typical Calslappy Bore
Mario Veit TKO6 it tuck him longer this time
Evan Ashira UD12 crap fighter but Calzaghe broke his hand and my will to live
Sakio Bika strong fighter but technically crap UD12
Peter Manfredo hype machine from reality tv show contender we needed Kessler we got Manfredo TKO3

You Sir talk sense i thought it was just me and a few others in the UK who think Calzaghe is a waste of time , i don't need to point out how weak his opponent's have been as you already have
BUT I DID THIS A WEEK AGO TRY THIS GUYS.
Go to the records section on this web homepage and choose any of Calzaghes opponent's and look how poor they have been since they fought him. Its a hoot most ere novice bums and there records prove this thanks for the memories FRANK WARREN YOU TOSSER
PS. GOOD POST MATE !!!!

i agree with both of you.

i think guys like calzagne is ruining the sport they are just robbing our past greats, by reaching there record but completely getting there much easier and on their way to the top they are very protected.

boxing is the ultimate competition sport but most undefeated fighters now a days our cancers to the sport. we have too many of them proving we are lacking great match making.

hopefully more fans realize if a fighter is undefeated it doesn't mean his god.

Funny I always thought Europe had a much larger population than America .

Nowhere near,America is the second most populous country on earth behind China

[TheBESTP4P]

i think its rather pointless to biotch about joe c's record/resume so far, now in the next one or two fights if they are bums or nobody's then its time to raise hell!

[Tysonbruno]

im logging off now to watch a film i will do it tomorrow look i don't like falling out with you its just a laugh don't take it personel that i slag Calslappy off

i don't care who you slag off - all you do is slag boxers off on this forum. since you joined you have slatted just about every boxer you can without once ever being able to make a post backed up with any knowlage or presedence.

For someone who 'doesn't like to fall out' you sure do make alot of 10 year old childish remarks 'sheep shagger' on numerous ocastions which never has or will bother me, but it is a remark to wlesh people in whole, the same as making a comment of an asian picking rice etc... your not taking a shot at me but every wlesh person or person with welsh heretige who reads this... yet your ignorance stops you for even seeing that.


this is by far the best boxing forum on the net. One of the main reasons people all have their different opinions, the likes of Vd Daxxkahn are very anti calzaghe, but when they post they post selectively and although i don't always agree 99% of the time make references as to why they make such remarks or back them up with certian reasons. You on the other hand must of used half of your posts starting threads or posting comments on about calzaghe without ever once being able to explain just why other than hate.

You made a thread not long ago talking about him being CRAP... even tho you rate reid who, even if you believe beat him, it was a razor thin win. Lacy, brewer, mitchel, Bika, Eubank NONE of them were crap, but by your reasonon, after lossing to calzaghe all by mostly one sided descisions it would make them absolutley fuckign terreble. So when you make remarks like that its the ripple in the pond effect not just the fighter you refer to.

Yet you send me pms or make posts with S*** like "can we be friends" or "why do you pick on me" as if i personally go after you for making posts on calzaghe - when personally i don;t give to fucks who you post on. Its the fact your posts are so absurt and some times just laughable that brings a person to question you as this IS a public forum where posts get questiond or attacked when persons do not agree with you.

Look mate i don't slag all boxers off just the one's who give me reason to the only fighter you pull me up on is Calzaghe

[Tysonbruno]

Joe Calzaghe threatened to fight Glenn Johnson a couple times then he gets the fight then pulls out with a bad back then he was going to fight the winner of Johnson vs Woods and did'nt to better his record he could of fought better opposition other than the ones i listed at the begining he could of fought supermiddles such as.


Robin Reid in a rematch
Markus Beyer
Sven Ottke
Sugar Boy Malinga
Thomas Tate
Eric Lucas
Syd Vanderpool
Antwun Echols
Mads Larsen
Frankie Liles
Otis Grant
Bruno Girard
Hacine Cherifi

i know he tried to make some of these fights but for whatever reason they did'nt come off we only have Frank Warrens word that they tried to make them and that it were'nt there fault they did'nt come off

That just proves the point - no star names... or "major leauge fighters" as you put it.

And you know those guys would of been on your "good" list accompanied by "knock" remark

Beyer - KO'd by Catley
Ottke - Got lucky decision's in Germany
Malinga - Ancient, already beaten by Eubank, Jones, Benn etc
etc
etc

[Tysonbruno]

But these would have been better fights and they were better fighters than the ones on my bad list at the begining of the topic and they would have done Calzaghes record the power of good

[Fenster]

For sure

But you can do that with anyones record.

[Tysonbruno]

the reason i did this list of better opposition he could of fought at supermiddle is because Big H and Preme asked me to

[Fenster]

Do you think any of those guys would of beat Calzaghe?
