Whats all the hype about calzaghe????

[Wacko3205]

Here and Now Calzaghe is in 8 out of 10 pound for pound lists.
And today Calzaghe is an undefeated Champion preparing to fight for the Undiputed Super middleweight Championship of the world.

you don't arrive at that stage overnight by doing nothing!

Another statement very well put.

[magyar2007]

Magyar2007...have a for starting a topic you know nothing about.

I've been into boxing since you were shitting green

Regadless...you seem to be more into starting crap that talking boxing. Please tone down the trash talk.

I appologize if I hurt anyones feelings

[Wacko3205]

I have yet to see him fight someone, yeah Lacy but who was he. He is going to step in with Kessler and everyone will see who calzaghe is, a no body.

Calzaghe is the longest reigning world title holder in history and is unbeaten pro or amauteur for 19 years.

In a weak era.

Thats Calzaghe's fault. Oh yeah...and he's such a nobody, thats he's the only fight Hopkins wants now.

Nothing special about that, its only because Hopkins is an Ego maniac and wants to derail the guy who tied his record. Not to mention Nard is a huge windbag these days

Easy now. Hopkins & Calzaghe both can afford to be egomaniacal...Hops can afford to be a bit of a windbag too because he backs up what he talks.

Thank you Wacko,

JT, the reason I brought up the Hopkins thing, is because I knew this guy would hug his nuts.

Thats alright I couldnt miss an oppurtunity to take a shot at 2 fighters that couldnt retire fast enough for my liking

[Gandalf]

Sorry to be a latecomer on this thread but what is with the thread title??

Calzaghe is nearly 36!!! Since when has hype been about a 36 year old?

Kessler is the hype here and its Kessler that needs to prove he's able to bring it to the long time champ.

You see some drivel sometimes...

magyar I'm giving you your first CC just because you've stood your ground in these sometimes very harsh boards.

I would also like to say that still no one has adressed the fact that you are 100% correct on most of what you have said. Some of you keep disecting his post and talking about whether or not he held the IBF belt... yeah I'm looking at you bzkfn, or whether or not he is the longest reigning champion in history. But all that crap don't matter.

Yes he is a very skilled boxer but the fact is that this is in fact hist first real test. For a fighter to be over 35 and been a champion for 10 years to meet his first test now is just plain ridiculous. Yes higned sight is 20/20. That means it is better than foresight. That means before, we didn't know but now we know. Jeff Lacy is and was a bumb.

Massive disagreement here.
Jeff Lacy is far from a bum.
Ask any fighter. How tough is it to get on the US Olympic team?
Ask anyone How tough is it to climb through professional rankings and gain a world title?

You no what the answer will be?
They don't no, very very few people no................Because it takes an exceptional boxer to make the US team and it takes a special boxer to fight his way to the ibf world title.

If you think this is Calzaghe's first real test then you are extremely misinformed.

You are either a) lacking a memory of the hype surrounding a number of Calzaghe's previous opponents b) too young to have followed Calzaghe's career or else C) pretty clueless

Take your pick

He has'nt been tested thats the point. he has'nt fought anyone. Don't you get it.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Tested?
Bika gave him a very rough night!
Robin Reid gave him a bitch of a fight.
Chris Eubank let loose and couldn't beat him.
And if i remember Salem fouled and roughed him up all night and koe still overcame.
