I am sick of hearing world class boxers have their resumes ripped apartFroch Calzaghe Mayweather Pacquiao Klitschkos All of the above are outstanding champions,anyone accusing them of ducking fighters or being a coward is an idiot,k2 don't even have good competition so what can they do Someone tell me who has a world class resume Please no negatives
I would class world class as fighters that have won world titles in recent times or are capable of winning a world title, and I would class a world class resume as having 5+ wins against world class fighters throughout there career and have only lost at top level. I would actually say Klitscko doesn't have a world class resume. How many A & B level fighters are on his resume? Haye, Chagaev, Peter & Byrd and thats pushing it for me. Dawson has wins over Hopkins twice, Johnson twice, Tarver twice, Adameck & Diaconou. Hopkins has wins over Cloud, Pascal twice & Pavlik, Tarver, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Homes, Johnson Froch has faced Kessler , Bute, Johnson, Abraham, Dirrell, Taylor, Magee. Martinez has wins over Chavez Jnr, Williams twice , Pavlik, Cintron Cotto has wins over Clottey, Mosley, Judah, Mallignaggi, Torress, Bailey, Mayweather has faced Guererro, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya, Baldomir, Judah, Gatti, Castillo twice, Coralles, Augustas, Manfredy & Hernadez Pacquiao has Bradley, Marquez, Clottey, Hatton, De La Hoya, Diaz, Barerra twice, Morales twice Marquez has Pacquiao, Katsidis, Diaz, Casamayor, Barerra, Salido Donaire has wins over Arce, Mathebula, Nishioka, Montiel, Darchinyan
And people slate mayweather Ridiculous Donaire is building up quite a body of work,I also think a great resume includes fights lost competitively at a high level so for example frochs 2 losses don't bother me at all in fact the opposite it just proves how tough his run has been So elite level resume Marquez Pacquiao Hopkins Mayweather They appear to be the daddies no matter what the trolls say And a lower level but still world class come Cotto Froch Donaire Dawson Martinez Calzaghe how does he sit he certainly beat a number of ex world champs so has to be up there judging by that way of thinking
Thought it would be interesting ( for me) to put Calzaghe against hatton by robs theory of a world class resume has to include wins over a world champion or a top contender,so by my reckoning its Calzaghe- Jones jnr Hopkins Kessler Lacy Mitchell Brewer Woodhall Reid Eubank And debatable bika Sheika Hatton- Malignaggi Castillo Urango Maussa Tszyu Tackie Phillips Collazo Add the fact Ricky went in with the top 2 p4p at their peaks and hattons isn't as weak as is often portrayed
Calzaghe - Hopkins, Kessler, Bika, Lacy, Mitchell, Brewer, Ried, Eubank. Promlem is fighters like Ward & Rigondeux suffer because they haven't faced enough guys, but they convincingly beat people on the list.
Calzaghe - Hopkins, Kessler, Bika, Lacy, Mitchell, Brewer, Ried, Eubank. Hatton - Mallignaggi, Castillo, Urango, Colazzo, Mausa, Tyszu
What do you guys thinks of Naseems resume? I'm intrigued as to why hes not in the IBHOF yet, I think as an American he's there already
Yes but theirs no stand out name on there. I don't think IBHOF should be all about resume anyway. Entertainment is the key for me and Hammed brought that in abundance.
Absolutely gobsmacked Mares name hasn't been mentioned yet? Donaire, Moreno, Darchynian, Agbeko x2, Perez x 2, Ponce De Leon
