Calzaghe's resume?

I dont think you can of seen the Reid/Malinga fight, it was a nothing affair between to counter punchers and Reid was a very good fighter who had good performances and bad performances.

Now Reid beat WBC champ Nardiello away in Italy
beat future WBC MW champ Cherifi
beat world rated SMW Wharton
beat undefeated future SMW world champ Magee
Also many felt Reid deserved the win over Ottke.

Do you think prime Reid would have been stopped by Stieglitz? I dont, I would strongly favour Reid with his resume over Abraham and Stieglitz

Explain how you think Abraham is better than that?

Its funny when even when Reid was very faded how he beat Brinkley, who went on to beat C Stevens (which is one of Golovkins big wins) and become a SMW mandatory in this era, which tells alot

 

Barry Smith has been ducking the questions I asked since post 88

 

says you, but he destroyed you since then.

 

What would people say is the best win Carl Froch holds?

 

Bute

 

I can see why that would be a shout, but also, I don't. In terms of prestige would be a more transparent question.

 

Again, Bute. The fact that Bute never really recovered is partially down to the confidence sapping beating he took.

He was against an undefeated world champion who was a 3-1 favourite. The Ring polled 23 "experts" and asked them who they thought would win. Most chose Bute, and none picked Froch to stop him (narrow points win due to home town advantage was the best they could give him)

 

Aye, but then that argument tends to be laughed off when discussing the win Calzaghe holds over Lacy. I dunno.

 

Fan of both, no real ulterior motive here, but for instance, if people were to rank Kessler as a best win for Froch (who it seems to be fairly universally agreed has a good CV) then Calzaghe must be doing alright as he beat a younger, better version (Froch beat a Kessler who had faced lay offs from injuries to eyes/shoulders and the like)

 

frochs best win is easily Bute due to the brutal one sided nature of the win, followed by Kessler and then Pascal. Perhaps Jermaine and Dirrell in there.

Looking at that lot, that's an awesome resume alone there. No wonder Carl is considered now ahead of Joe, Chris and Nige.

 

How many of those wins were at super middle? Robin Reid was a better super middleweight champ than Arthur Abraham, anybody who knows their history wouldn't even argue that. Unless of course you want to discount Joe Calzaghe

in which case, go ahead, why should you stop now? :?

Boxing would benefit from a character and a fighter like Robin Reid today :bbb

Underrated fighter

 

why stop now, since you are a lying little hound aren't you?

Reid has three successful defences of his title, and failed to regain it (though ostensibly he took Ottkes and Calzaghes so max you can claim is 3 defences plus three time titlist).

Abraham is a two time titlist without a doubt, and has 4 defences. Arthur is the superior SMW, though its not a big difference, hes yet to finish his SMW career either so the difference can only grow.

Abraham > Reid, so why are you lying and ALSO trying to pretend the other person is lying to discredit Calzaghe, when its in actual fact YOU guilty of doing the lying and discredit.

 

I agree. Reid was a far superior SMW in my opinion, and I think someone would struggle to make a sensible arguement the other way.
Abrahams big SMW win is Stieglitz, and he also got stopped by Robert.
Look at the defences Abraham has had, and then look at who Reid beat.
Still there are many that dont have a clue and even a real dumb poster that thinks B Mitchell slipped against Calzaghe atsch. There are some real ****s on here, who just havent a clue. Maybe ignorance is bliss

 

hey blacbreeny why you going to apologise for your obvious lying now its been proved that Abraham is a little better than Reid.


no hurry but you should correct yourself soon
