Whats all the hype about calzaghe????

[Gandalf]

magyar I'm giving you your first CC just because you've stood your ground in these sometimes very harsh boards.

I would also like to say that still no one has adressed the fact that you are 100% correct on most of what you have said. Some of you keep disecting his post and talking about whether or not he held the IBF belt... yeah I'm looking at you bzkfn, or whether or not he is the longest reigning champion in history. But all that crap don't matter.

Yes he is a very skilled boxer but the fact is that this is in fact hist first real test. For a fighter to be over 35 and been a champion for 10 years to meet his first test now is just plain ridiculous. Yes higned sight is 20/20. That means it is better than foresight. That means before, we didn't know but now we know. Jeff Lacy is and was a bumb.

If you think this is Calzaghe's first real test then you are extremely misinformed.

You are either a) lacking a memory of the hype surrounding a number of Calzaghe's previous opponents b) too young to have followed Calzaghe's career or else C) pretty clueless

Take your pick

He has'nt been tested thats the point. he has'nt fought anyone. Don't you get it.

What are you talking about?

Calzaghe has been tested on a number of occasions and each time found a way to win. He has fought and beaten the latest hype for the last 10 years.

Beyond Hopkins and Jones who never even entered the radar while Calzaghe was at SMW there has been noone else worth fighting that he hasnt beaten. And again Calzaghe is fighting the latest big hype!!

Now dont talk to me about "getting it". What is there to get exactly
