I can only fairly judge fighters of the last 23 years but Calzaghe 46-0 winner of 24 world title fights, greatest SMW ever WBO (21 defences) WBC WBA IBF Ring SMW champ, Ring LHW champ with the names Eubank, Jones, Hopkins, Lacy, Mitchell, Kessler on his resume says that Calzaghe is right up there. To think if Hopkins wins another world title fight he will have won as many world title fights as Calzaghe. Just think how all these American legends Jones Hopkins Nunn Toney Havent won as many world title fights and any in the SMW division where Calzaghe rules he has a better resume than all of these fighters and in just 2 LHW fights Calzaghe has a better resume than Nunn and Toney and has a win over Hopkins and Jones Enjoy
Translation from Trollish into English: "I know **** all about any boxers except Joe Calzaghe, which is why I twist his largely mediocre career into something special by focusing on statistics that conceal his shitty resume". *This translation was conducted free at www.trollpatrol.com*
Its funny how I put so much fear into you Popkins, that you have to keep mentioning my name. Do you remember Popkins how I made you look a c#nt when you tried to compare R Allen to M Veit , M Veit had a far superior resume. The win Calzaghe had over Veit was a very good victory. The first time Calzaghe beat Veit, Veit was 30-0 and hadnt beaten anyone of real note, hence he was blown away in a round by Calzaghe. When Calzaghe beat Veit a 2nd time Veit was an accomplished world rated 45-1 fighter who had some solid victories behind him, and was top 10 rated. Veit had beaten undefeated Dziarra who wasnt a great fighter but did go on to beat L Mock and undefeated M Oral who would go on to challenge MW champs A Abraham and S Sylvester recently. Veit had also beaten beaten undefeated Guerrero for the European union title. Veit beat future title challenger Salem and Mock. Veit also beat world rated C Brewer with an educated destructive 9th round KO. A note on Veit. He only ever lost to world champs or fighters who became world champs and has victories over Mock, Salem, Perdermo (a future Kessler challenger), Brewer when Brewer was world rated and Veit beat undefeated Braehmer who is now the current WBO LHW champ due for a unification fight in JAN 2011. Since not happend due to illness A good Calzaghe victory over a mandatory world class SMW Also a great away victory for Calzaghe in Germany As for Pudwill he deserves respect Consider how Hopkins is given so much credit today, but remember that Pudwill was undefeated in 24 fight. In that many fights Hopkins was 22-2-0. Amazing statistically Pudwill had a better record than Hopkins at this time. Consider how Hopkins is so highly rated today, yet 8 times Hopkins has been unable to win a fight compared to 7 times for Pudwill. The first 2 times Hopkins challenged for a MW title were for vacant titles. Pudwill was always that bit braver and challenged away to champion greats of his division, whilst Hopkins was trying to price himself out. After losing to Calzaghe Pudwill went on to take Pazienza to a close dec loss, whilst Hopkins straight after losing to Calzaghe had to take on a fighter 2 divisions lower to build confidence :good
That was almost funny.:think Guess facts and solid arguments dont work with u. ^^^so try this. Here's a lollipop kid, now **** off.:hi:
I don't want a lollipop from you, not after you've been relentlessly slurping on Bailey's flaccid member for the better part of this thread. :dead
I cannot believe so many of you took the OP seriously and didn`t read his post correctly. Joe Calzaghe is without doubt the best ever Welsh super middleweight of all time and he is definitely in the top 10 of atg Welsh fighters. There is no way the OP was talking about Joe Calzaghe being in the top 10 of atg world fighters as that is being plain silly and he would make himself look a complete idiot even thinking it let alone suggesting it on a boxing forum.
Timeout can often be found sucking hater **** once their copy and paste arguments begin to fall apart :deal
OK, that might have been a tad harsh. Just for his talents, it's pretty terrible. He should have dropped the WBO belt a LONG time ago and faced better guys. It's no secret the WBO has the worst rankings of the big 4. BTW, no one said he was supposed to lose to Manfredo. At least no one serious or credible.
For my last post of the evening, here's yet another 10 definites: Joe Louis Mike McCallum Alexis Arguello Bernard Hopkins Henry Armstrong Carlos Monzon Juan Manuel Marquez Jung Koo Chang Julio Cesar Chavez Azumah Nelson Another 10 coming soon... Plenty, plenty more to come... :good
Robinson, Armstrong, Greb, Langford, Charles, Fitzsimmons, Pep, Walker, Ali, Burley, Duran, Moore, Leonard, Leonard, Ross, Whitaker, Walcott, Gans, Saddler, Tunney, Louis, McLarnin, Canzoneri, McGovern, Hagler, Hearns, Spinks, Sanchez, Jones, Monzon, Napoles... Want me to continue?
