Ok Calzaghe Haters What Does He Need To Do In Jones Fight To Get Respect!

[amat]

Respect, respect, wah no respect.

I don't tink Calzaghe doesn't get respect by more then like 5 people here.

[p4pking]

Respect, respect, wah no respect.

I don't tink Calzaghe doesn't get respect by more then like 5 people here.

And there accumlated IQ is probably around the same number of title defences Calzaghe has had, yet good posters with sense continue to believe he is this victim of widespread blind hatred because of it. A little odd indeed if you ask me.

[killersheep]

I respect what Calzaghe has done, I was in the camp that said he needed to fight Kessler, well he did that he adjusted like a champion and won a clear decision. I don't like Calzaghe's style, it is not entertaining to me, but I respect what he has done. I don't think any result in the Jones fight will make me gain or lose respect for him.

Credit where credit is due, Calzaghe earned his ring rankings.

Respect, respect, wah no respect.

I don't tink Calzaghe doesn't get respect by more then like 5 people here.

I respect Calzaghe for his great chin and boxing brain too!Im one of the five!

I'm not a Calzaghe hater, but I'm certainly a bit of critic when it comes to him being over protected and being a total slapper for the the last 4 years or so. I give him plenty of respect for the Kessler fight, and beating Hopkins, even if just barely. 43 or not, Hopkins is still one of the best in the world. He's the Nolan Ryan of boxing.

How much credit he gets in MY book depends somewhat depends on how Jones looks and how he goes into the fight mentally. Jones has looked progressively better since Tarver 3, and he's improved some technical flaws that he used to mask with almost godlike reflexes. He still has his handspeed and some tools that could give Joe problems. If Jones looks good, and Calzaghe still beats him clearly, it'll give him credit. I think Jones actually has a chance in this fight, because I don't think he will go in afraid of getting hit and that will allow him to open up.

My thoughts on it:

He can never gain respect from the haters.

The haters are just that, HATERS! They will hate him whatever he does.

1. He fights lacy, the haters are screaming how lacy will bash him out the ring, he batters him.

2. He fights kessler, the haters are relishing the thought of kessler outboxing and overwhelming calzaghe, calzaghe nullifies him and finishes it with ease.

3. He fights hopkins (the same hopkins who bashed the sh1t out of pavlik, tarver and wright), the haters say he will get ko'd by hopkins, he has hopkins gassing for air after the 8th round and wins the fight.

Even if you take away his other career wins, take away the fact he is the longest champion in the history of the sport still boxing today, take away the fact hes a 2 weight champ, and just look at those 3 things...NORMALLY its enough for any true boxing fan to say 'yeah hes a wicked fighter.'

But the fact remains, they dont.

The reason for this is very sad.

Instead of being 'reasonable' and 'balanced' people and saying 'i dont like calzaghes style because he is too unorthadox and i dont like his swinging punches, but you have to give him respect for what hes achieved' (any true boxing fan would say this)...they just hate him.

Im relishing the prospect of seeing the haters sitting at home cursing their tv screens when they see calzaghe coming into the ring against jones, the haters praying from calzaghe to lose...but once again, like very single time he has ever been doubted, he'll win!

And then as predicted, we will have the same threads all over again and again, the same people saying how they still dont rate calzaghe (as predicted), over and over again lol.

To be honest, as for the way he fights, id much rather see him go all out against jones and drop him.

Everyone has said that theres a prospect that 'calzaghe could look good enough to maybe have done well against jones at his peak'...

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA its as if even if calzaghe wins, it automatically still means that jones was better at his peak PMSL, JOKERS!

If calzaghe wins then it means that of course he couldve given a peak roy jones a run for his money.

If calzaghe easily wins then it means HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT A PEAK ROY JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

But...it all means nothing, calzaghe will fight jones and win, then he might have one more fight...possibly a rematch against hopkins and win again.

But even if calzaghe beats jones and hopkins (twice) then the haters will still say that they are better than him...WHAT BACKWARDS WAY OF THINKING IS THAT? LOL!

The guy cant do anything to gain respect from haters. AND THATS EXACTLY WHY I SUPPORT HIM!

Because i love to see the same people get silenced time and time again, then come up with more excuses and arguments lol.

When you look at the facts they are plain and simple:

If calzaghe beats jones then the guy is 48,0,0 anyone who cant respect that is a bit of a muppet really arent they?

Hes beaten hopkins (THE SAME OLD HOPKINS WHO HAS HAD HIS BEST CAREER WINS EVER AT THIS AGE, BASHING UP WRIGHT, TARVER AND PAVLIK), eubank, lacy, reid and kessler...soon to be jones.

Undefeated champ for over 11 years.

2 weight champ.

People will keep hating him, but the bottom line is that he will go down in history as a legend, esspecially after he bashes roy jones, we will then know exactly WHY ROY JONES AVOIDED HIM!

You are entiltled to your average opinion , as for Calzaghe ever being on the level of a prime RJJ , dont make me laugh.
Stick to bodybuilding , and for the record i HATE calzaghe , but i respect him as a fighter , i just dont think hes ATG.

[Drago]

yo Dark Lord RJJ missed too many big fights in my opinion think jury is out on him being an ATG

[JT Rock]

yo Dark Lord RJJ missed too many big fights in my opinion think jury is out on him being an ATG

Thats a very small jury then

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

yo Dark Lord RJJ missed too many big fights in my opinion think jury is out on him being an ATG

Are you high

I guess Joe Louis's bum of the month club and Marcianos beating of aging champions nolonger in their prime would have to rip them out of the ATG catagory as well

Reallky good point they mate.I've already made my point about Calzaghe as a great fighters loads of times on here.Of course theirs haters of Calzaghe,after all its a free world to make your own judgement on things,but i totally agree with you.What does my head in is that people say that Calkzaghe has fought loads of bums and that he has never been tested!!That just makes me laugh sooo much when they say crap like that.How can they say that,Eubank,Brewer,lacy,Kessler,Hopkins are bums?I like Calzaghe a lot.He has the best boxing brain in the game!

I know what will turn these Haters(at least half of them)of Calzaghe into fans of his,,,is when he fights Froch after Froch beats Pascal that is!

I think Jones actually has a chance in this fight, because I don't think he will go in afraid of getting hit and that will allow him to open up.

I echo this sentiment. Only to add, if RJJ looks good for the first 2/3 of the fight and then Calzaghe knocks him out, well, that would be definitely make me think twice.

Of course, like him or not, he deserves credit. He is a special talent.

[leggy]

lets face it the people that don't like him will never say they respect him even if they did
