[Tysonbruno]

See i wanted you guys to tell me why he is so good yet you just slate me rather than slating me fill me in.

[amat]

Can't you just watch the fights? Or better yet state exactly why you think he's shit.

[Fenster]

I think he is so good cos he wins. Is that OK?

[Tysonbruno]

Ive watched his fights ever since he fought Mark Delaney i only watch him so i don't miss him getting beat live.Now yes i'm saying he is shit and at the start of the thread im asking for you guys to tell me why he isn't crap yet rather than fill me in you slate me so perhaps i'm right he doesn't deserve his P4P#2 spot and he is well overrated.

Shit people dont go 18yrs undefeated spending 11 as a champion, shit fighters dont beat Mikkel Kessler or Bernard Hopkins, shit fighters dont top the bill in LV.

Calzaghe is one of only two fighters ever to hold all 5 recognised titles in one weight division WBO,WBC,WBA,IBF,IBO shit fighters dont do that.

Shit fighters dont hold two ring magazine titles symaltaniously, shit fighters dont try and defend two titles at two different weights.

This has the 7 pages of nothing written all over it. Break out the vaseline, feelings are about to get hurt.

Calzaghe is decent but like Hopkins he didn't take many chances with his career when there were BIG fights to be fought outside of 168.

If you're Calzaghe you go to the US to fight Roy Jones Jr. at 175 earlier because #1 RJJ was the #1 pound for pound fighter in the world and #2 he was one of the most popular fighters in the world.

If he beat RJJ in like 1998-2000 then hell the sky is the limit but if he beats him now he does NOTHING for his legacy but if he loses then he shows he really was a protected fighter...Kessler is good but was still green when he fought Joe much like Jeff Lacy was although Mikkel had better fundamentals.

Calzaghe said neither Hopkins nor Jones wanted to fight him, in Hopkins case we know this to be true with Jones we can only assume it to be true.

Look at the guys Roy was fighting 1998-2002 why would you take the risk in fighting Calzaghe who at the time held nothing when you could beat up on cans for the same?

Facts are Calzaghe was not known in the US HBO would not go for it and he also had nothing for Jones or Hopkins to fight for no name no marketability nothing.

That of course changed when Joe beat Lacy because he was introduced to a US audience in a big way and immediatly drew attention from both Showtime and HBO who prior had never shown a Calzaghe fight live.

As for Kessler being green the guy was a great amature won two world titles and had 39 fights, if thats green in a Chinaman.
