he has to do what he did to kessler for the mainstream to respect him..
take what RJJ dishes out to him, counter punch, and make him give up basically..
I'd say he needs a pretty solid UD for any hater to have an ounce of respect..

Well i don't like him as a person so i would never respect him on that point i don't like his boxing style so no respect their either and as for his career its all a bit to little to late.

The title could have been a bit less abrasive IMO. I think most real boxing fans respect Joe.
Simaltaneous 2 division recognized Ring Champ
Undefeated
Over 10 year champion
Not to mention top 5 PFP fighter.
Id say there is a lot to be respected there![]()

I wont respect him ever , beating a 39 year old Jones who Tarver and Johnson have KOED , and a 43 year old hopkins dont make a career.
If i was in a burning building with no escape than to be helped by calzaghe then i would rather burn. I HATE HIM MORE THAN MOST CAN HATE ANYTHING

He can't do anyhting to gain respect, that is absolutely apparent. Everybody said he had to fight Lacy, he did it, everybody said he had to fight Kessler he did it. Everybody acknowledged that the only 2 real fights out there were Pavlick or Hopkins, he fought Hopkins and beat him. He can NEVER get respect from the haters.
I don't think beating Jones will enhance his legacy, although it will look good on paper

seems people thnk calzaghe didnt meet anyone decent in his defences, is the thought he should of been in the states years ago defending?because that is bollocks, dont remember RJJ or b-hop defending in britain!

It is a bit of a shame... He won my respect years ago but have never liked his style. He wins fights. I have seen many of his early fights after the fact and saw that he was a crisp puncher with pop but was forced to change his style after the repeated injurys...
That being said...
Years from now Joe will be remembered as a great champion and kingpin. He destroyed Lacy and Beat Bhop that CLEARLY... CLEARLY has more left in the tank then we thought when we saw him against Tarver, Wright and Calzaghe.
IMHO the Pavlik fight showed just how good Joe is and added alot of stock to that fight.
I don't really see a plethora of Calzaghe haters anymore. It's undeniable to brush off his accomplishments.
Joe Calzaghe is as great a champ in modern time as you can get...
