    Yeah...the same Joe Calzaghe that had both Hopkins and Jones cowering like little girls towards the end of the fight. Watch the videos - they are there for all to see.

    Also, Calzaghe said before the Hopkins fight that he was to retire a legend after the fight, and that is just what he did. If Hopkins don't like it, then he shouldn't have taken the fight.

    YOU sound so Butthurt.

    I'm tired of what bitter old Hagler has to say anymore. Sugar Ray Leonard and Hearns can give Floyd props. Both are greater than him anyways

    nope. Hagler beat them both regardless of what judges say. Theres a reason Sugar waited until 87 to take the fight, and even then it took him a friendly scorecard to win

    With the exception of Mayweather and Pacquiao all those guys are relatively new.and making there name there's no telling who will turn out to be what. Ray Leonard didn't come into his first fight as ATG Sugar Ray he had to fight his career.

    Mayweather started fighting in 96 the question is about his opposition in his era well those are some of the top fighters of his era, Pacquiao/Mayweather/Hopkins are still top fighters today.

    No, Leonard clearly beat him. And Leonard hadn't fought in 5 years and had a screwed up eye when he fought Hagler at a weight that wasn't his best. If Hagler couldn't beat that version of SRL, then that's on him.
    ever since Ray Leonard kicked his ass, he's been extra bitter

    When in the hell did bhop have an era? Lol someone better tell Bernard that he had an era!

    I thought this fool slid back under his rock.

    The truth is that boxing has been on a decline since the 80s. However, I rank Floyd and PAC above the WW of the 90s (outside of pernell of course). News flash, you can be an ATG from a week era. The problem with Floyd is that before he fights someone they are the boogeyman and after they are a bum.

    Enzo Calzaghe thought the American judges might rob Joe, so he told Joe to go for a KO.

    I don't recall ever saying he fought legends... i said theres not been any ATG he could of fought......... except manny and we know that aint happening for whatever reason.. although in sayin that, marquez will probably go down as a ATG, possibly cotto too if he were to beat sergio.

    Floyd beats guys who are on good form... thats what i said no mention of them being legends. Another hater who twists words and can;t answer a question. No matter who he fights there'l be people moaning and making reasons up why floyd will win easy... Manny and floyd are the two best of their era, respect them both... there both great fighters.

    Everyone has an opinion about fighters eras and what have you, if someone's opinion differs from you doesn't mean there right or wrong just that they have a different opinion.

    At one point everyone thought the world was flat, one person said it was round and ended up being right.
    The moral is just because a large group follows a trend or believes something doesn't mean what they believe is true.
