Boxrec ranks Joe Calzaghe...

No

 

He's actually underrated by BoxRec, he should be in the top 20 or maybe even the top 10.

46-0

Joe Calzaghe is the best British boxer of all time.

 

#24? my first thought was that's too high. There's just too many great fighters I'd put over him .

 

Remind me how many defences at 168 RJJ had?

 

Doesn't matter. Its how he looked there.

Joe went life and death with Reid there, and was facing the likes of Tocker Pudwill. Have a word.

 

Yeah right. Lewis and Fury overtook him years ago.

 

Jones defo ahead of Calzaghe without argument, depth of Jones resume and fighters he beat and when he beat them as well as all the belts in multiple divisions .

 

Yes.

Ward bullied Joe's best win.

 

Ha!

 

You mean bullied with deliberate head butts and a dishonest referee who permitted it?

Calzaghe never needed dirty tactics like head butts and low blows.

And he outclassed Froch who Joe avoided to fight a shot to **** Roy Jones.

Ward done bested Joe's reign within 2 years of being a pro. Joe would have never entered the super 6. He avoided Roy, most top yanks, and only found his passport when he had two fights left in him. Even his dad was sick of his excuses, hence that's how the Lacey fight got made.

 

You can't cherrypick events from an entire career to determine greatness.

You could say RJJ looked better in his defences but his overall body of work at 168 is not better than Calzaghe's.

 

Who did Joe beat that Roy wouldn’t? And when Sakio Bika is one of your best wins I don't think it's worth talking about myself.

 

I think that Joe would beat all of RJJ's defences at 168 as well. So can we load that up to Boxrec now?

 

Debatable. Even an ancient Roy toyed with the guy who Joe performed his best ever against. Joe's shite.
