Calzaghe and Pacquiao

That can not be true.

 

I'll start with: Pacquiao will be ranked higher by history than Calzaghe, will generally and eternally be regarded as the greater fighter. Anything else is irrelevant in the greater scheme of things. End thread.

 

Calzaghe has had only 2 KOs in his entire career, both against journeymen before he became a world champion. He has NEVER KO'd anyone at world title level.

 

If we're going to get on the subject of punch power, Calzaghe's is underrated whereas Pacquiao's is dramatically over-rated.

 

Dude.

You've just dug yourself the biggest hole in the world.

Pacquiao punches like a sissy girl, and you're making a case for Calzaghe in the same sentence. You're so ****ed.

 

I think JC wins are more TKO than KO

 

Precisely. :thumbsup

 

Calzaghe's isn' underrated, it is just poor. Pacquiao's punch-power isn't rated overly highly, I never read anyone saying he is a concussive one-punch hitter, but his ability as a finisher is exceptional, he is a brilliant accumulation-finisher... just ask the man in your avatar.

 

Not really. Look at how many more times calzaghe lands on his opponents then Pac does to his. And he still hasn't put anyone away in ages. Pac seriously beats his opponents. JMM aside.

 

Calzaghe distractors often compare his lack of power to the likes of Paulie malignaggi, who isn't even capable of sparking third tier competition.

I don't think Pacquiao's a great finisher either. He was unable to do so against Barrera, and Marquez in both of their fights.
