Yes it is its all one big smoke and mirrors, everything i stated in my rant is a fact. If you disagree with my post tell me what you disagree with, im sorry but i think Joe Calzaghe is a total tosser.

Since he's been retired i've seen him in the paper, making himself look like a complete plonker. And when he was fighting he would constantly contradict himself.

Im not saying its all his fault that he hasn't got the big names on his record, but he could of took more risks than he actually did. And for somebody who had all those title defenses, i think its a joke that the American's had hardly ever heard of him. Until he beat Jeff Lacy, another ridiculously overrated fighter.

Compare that to Nigel Benn who had bigger fame than Joe Calzaghe, being a pro for only 2 years. He was already being hyped up, ready to take on some of the best Americans including Michael Nunn. Infact they were trying to set that up in 1989 before he lost to Michael Watson.

Compare that to Joe Calzaghe who took 13 years and 19 world title wins, just to get the same fame that Nigel Benn had in 2 years.
