    This BS about JMM wouldn't happen to be because he is currently ranked above your darling Joseph p4p would it?? :lol: You are so transparent, you silly child. I'd prefer it if you steered clear of my threads from now on, they are for genuine debate and not for people like you to drag their bag of agenda, bias and paranoia on to at every opportunity. Disappear before I post more quotations of yours which catch you out as no more than a moronic liar. :hi:

    Marquez has never beaten a shot elite fighter or upcoming prospect in as impressive fashion as Calzaghe has mate, simple as. His best performance a draw with Chris John at some over rated weight divison where the rare talentish midget reigns supreme. Shot Calzaghe with one arm is better than prime Marquez mate.

    I stated elsewhere, Tszyu never complained about the ref. or ridiculed Hatton for for the loss. Hatton was the better man. He used the tactics designed to outbully, and out muscle Tszyu with great effect. K.T was ill-looking at the weigh-in, clearly struggled to make weight, yet made the best out of it as he could. No excuses, Ricky dominated from start to end.

    I think Kostya is just the sort of no excuses guy and at the same time, I think he KNEW Hatton would've beaten him in a rematch. The man was a dead dog at that point.

    Re-watching the fight right now as I type this and nothing Kostya could've done would've helped. Even if the ref would've jumped in for a break everytime Hatton went in, Hatton was too fast with his feet and too quick with his hands. Tszyu was done.

    Only The corrupt Ring magazine rates loser Marquez over Calzaghe. They thought OScar would beat Manny so the would have ranked him #1. So GBP could promot him as the best fighter p4p, cause nobody gives **** about JMM.
    Marquez had more problems with Casa than Calzaghe with Jones. Watching the KAtsidis-fight Joel was as shot as Jennifer Lopez.

    Winky just might have the biggest legacy in some ways.

    Kostya is rated high head 2 head but also I believe the longevity of his amatuer career hurt his pro career and he didnt have as many big fights and wins as he could have.


    Most of JMM's best fights were very close, Pac x2, older barerra, outside of the older Casamayor KO.


    Winky has some good dominating performances and some upsets. He might be the best ever at 154 (though a weaker and newer weight class) even though SRL was at 154 though he wasnt there long. You can really picture Winky making it a hard fight for anyone at 154-160 in history. People also avoided fighting Winky like the plaugue until his win over Mosley which made the risk vs reward of fighting him increase enough for him to get some good fights.



    I think I will pick Winky out of these 3.
