    I think that sums it up quite well.

    His style doesn't go down well. He throws weak punches at a fast speed (many to the arms), and the judges see he's throwing lots of punches and score them. Then with his stamina and reflexes he can avoid trouble, last the distance, and win on points. Most people would rather see a Mike Tyson, going at his opponents like a raging bull and finishing them off.

    His opponents also weren't of the highest calibre, he's faught more bums than in a Playboy calender. But that's maybe not all his fault, he just came along at the wrong time. Some of the blame could be laid at Frank Warrens door as well.

    I'm from the UK and not a Calzaghe hater, but I can see why some people aren't impressed.

    Yeah I can see why he isnt liked by some. His arrogance on Saturday didnt help . I remember watching Hamed do the same thing and I couldnt wait to see him get hurt . But I rate fighters on ability not on their showboating . Joe is clearly the best
