Is it just me? But why does EVERYONE rate Calzaghe so highly?

[ICB]

Have you been TYSONBRUNO in the past 3 months?

Who's he?

Some guy that hates Calzaghe about his opposition ect and i would have to agree because most of Calzaghes opponents have been cab drivers or former world champions that are washed up or prospects.

[gudnite vienna]

Who the f*** else could he of fought in his division, he has beat them for christ sake.. not his fault the division has not been the best. let the man finish his career, if he beats kessler, Taylor and then wins the Light Heavy tittle, what will you say then

[southakron314]

We dont all rate Calzaghe highly

I never will either. Until he faces a opponent on neutral turf, I will never have respect for him.

[gudnite vienna]

why does that matter, he has never had to really on judges to gain a dodgy outcome!!!!!!!!!!

Okay then Ice, I know you're a bit more savvy than some of the other Calzaghe haters that we have on the forum, so which SMW's should Calzaghe have faced during the 10-year rreign that he didn't?

[gudnite vienna]

if Calzaghe beats kessler, Taylor, and then goes up to light Heavy and beats say Hopkins he can the retire knowing that he has beaten every fighter he could of in his era and general weight class.. theres only roy jones but from what i can see, but he didnt want much to do with Calzaghe..

u cant argue with that, name how he could of bettered his boxing career, in any way if he does this?

[Pugilistic]

wbo champ for many years. no losses, 20 successful title defenses. not against the best opposition but still a good achievement.

Im not saying he could of im saying his weight division has been weak.

I will copy and paste what i said

Hold on a minute Jones had already moved up by the time Calzaghe won title off Eubank and Jones was Lightheavyweight i have never heard of Jones turning down an offer plus he was p4p number 1 why should he of moved down to fight a guy who was only well known in UK if Calzaghe wanted to be p4p number 1 he should of moved up and fought him simple as.

A fight with Roy Jones could of happened a couple of years ago if Calzaghe not demanded equal pay and billing. Despite the fact that he had a fight with Oscar Del Hoya for 10 million lined up, Bernard Hopkins still gave Calzaghe an opportunity to fight him. All he had to do was pay Hopkins 6 million instead of 3. Calzaghe refused. Knowing damn well Frank Warren could afford it. A fight with Sven Ottke (I would of took Ottke) also could of been made back in 2003. After Ottke beat Bryon Mitchell. Both were to get a million for the fight. Why didn't it happen? Calzaghe refused to fight Germany. Was fighting in Germany to Ottke benefit? Hell, yeah it was. But keep in mind Calzaghe at that time was only the WBO (a minor league belt) champion. Ottke held both the WBA and IBF Super Middleweight titles. So the extra perk should of been his. Calzaghe didn't see it that way. What does he do? He goes on to fight Byron Mitchell. A fighter Sven Ottke had just beaten.

Artur Grigorian made 17 title defenses of his crappy ass WBO title. Are you going to embarrass yourself by saying Grigorian was a good fighter?

[gudnite vienna]

why the hell would he go to germany, knowing if it goes 12 rounds he's gona get robbed simple as. he has beaten every1 he could of beaten, and give me a break every1 knows he would of beaten ottke fair and square. maybe you could of blamed warren for the fight with hopkins not comming off. It now seems he has the big fights comming his way at this late stage in his career, starting with Kessler.

beat Kessler, taylor, Hopknis and he is an all time great without doubt.

There's know doubt in my mind this can happen

What big fights? At one time or other Calzaghe has been rumored to fight everybody at some point. But he always seems to end up in the ring with garbage fighters like Manfredo, Ashira, Salem or Viet (twice). I don't care how close a fight with Kessler is. I won't believe Calzaghe has the balls to face him until I actually see him in the ring with Kessler. Even if it gets a officially signed, there's still Calzaghe bitch ass habit of postponing fights or supposedly breaking his hand.
