    No slandering or trolling please.

    For me, it would have to be Joe Calzaghe, he had a lot of talent, but I was never overly impressed with him, his resume or his skillset.

    Certainly not to level I thought I would with someone who retired with a 46-0 record.

    I hate to 'pick apart' somebodies record, but with most of his victories I find it far too easy to say 'but...' concerning most of his best wins.

    You?

    Probably one of the greatest sporting accomplishments of the 20th century. I doubt we will ever see a boxer winning two HW World championships 20+ years apart again.

    Yup, Calzaghe was the first guy that came to mind. Not a single thing about him impresses me.

    Calzaghe impressed me thoroughly. Subtle brillience about him.

    Lewis, he was very good, and I have nothing but respect for the guy, but the Mercer fight really put a question mark on his H2H ability for me, especially after a 175 year old Larry Holmes took Mercer to school like his daddy.
