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

[leggy]

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

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

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

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...

[intoccabile]

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

Yeh a 43 year old Hopkins is nothing much, he looked awful on Saturday

Now imagine him in his prime

[Taeth]

Will a knockout do it?
Will a unaminous decision do it?
Will a split decision do it?

As many folk on this site think RJJ is gonna win,then if Calzaghe wins U have to give him respect. correct?

I really like Calzaghe but there is nothing at this point in Jones' career that Joe can do as a top 5 p4p to earn my respect in this fight. Only Jones has a something to gain besides money from this fight.

Him beating Hopkins is debatable which makes using that as a plus for Calzaghe IMO wrong, You could say he had a close fight with Bernard either way, but saying he clearly won isn't correct.

[BIG H]

I have the answer to the initial thread question.....


He can say it was all a big mistake, he isn't British, he is actually American. Within a week he would be p4p number 1

[C-Lo]

I give Calzaghe respect for all his accomplishments. I also believe he is top 3 pound for pound.

He should beat Roy but I won't be cheering for him.

I'm just not a fan.

[kingfrnk]

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!

they dont need to because theres nothing in Britain for them.

wat about more money

[Pugilistic]

I respect Joe but a win over Jones won't get much credit from me at this stage.

Jones is past his best.

Well, all due respect(you do hold the gay-off belt) I saw Calzaghe winning by a point... Close but none the less still a win... And even a close fight with Bernard is still a plus for Calzaghe seeing the highly touted(and one of my fav fighters) Pavlik was nearly of not totally(arguable) white washed by him... So yes, I disagree

[Taeth]

Whatever that gay-off thing was, it was gay in and of itself. Whoever feels that it is important to hold a popularity contest or unpopularity contest based on a forum is gay. I think you can give Calzaghe credit for how he did against Hopkins for sure, but saying he beat Hopkins clearly is wrong because he didn't, even having him win by 1 round doesn't overcome the fact that Hopkins is 43 all other acclompishments included. That fight helped Calzaghe's credentials for sure, but it also didn't because IMO it shows that Hopkins prime for prime was the better man, and this fight will be meaningless as well because of Roy even looks half decent IMO will show he would be the better man prime for prime, and if Roy wins then Calzaghe looks like a fool, which also doesn't give him due credit because he is a good fighter, but in terms of all time greatness he is more on Mosley or Dela HOya's level.

Since when has Britain been the hotbed of World boxing ever ?
THAT COMMENT IS BOLLOCKS.

ha ha sorry man that came accross wrong, i meant that american fighters often never defend outta america, not that i think they should defend in briatain all the time. plus hatton & calzaghe get crowds off 55,000+ in britain, thats impressive dont u think?
