    On this board it's most definately VITLAY. Both the brothers get hyped beyond belief but the constant dragging up of bull**** stats about a man that's faced **** competition all his career is ridiculous.

    In recent times, probably Antonio Margarito.

    This guy was supposed to be THE name that would make Floyd Mayweather a legit ATG, but looking back he's just a cheater with 6 losses that will be forgotten in 10 years.

    I'm saying he was a FRAUD because he doesn't have the heart to rebuild his career only after one loss. Hamed was skilled as much as he was HYPED . . . but no HEART.

    ATG? He definitely is not an ATG.

    I'm sorry dude but he must've had some heart to be involved in that barnburner with Kevin Kelly. No fighter without a heart can handle THAT kind of a war. Not to mention if he had no heart, he could've quit halfway through the lesson Barrera gave him.

    As for not rebuilding his career, If he didn't want to take any more punishment and felt that he had done enough than I won't hold it against him. If it be that way then let it be.

    People who say calzaghe are ****ing loosers and absolute haters. Maybe his not an ATG, but a ****ing talentet fighter and warrior - his got my respect at least.... A lot of talented guys had the chance against this - stay at home guys - .. But like him or not, at least we should be objective and fair to the boxing sport......

    My guess is that mayweater senior is that biggest fraud. Don't like jis son's style, but no doubt his a perfect boxer that shold have respectvfor that.

    Na...Nas was a ATG materal once apon a time.
    But he thought he knew better, left the Ingle camp, let his brothers run his career, surrounded himself with 'yes' men, didn't bother training, thought he would destroy his opponents just by turning up.

    Once he got beat he knew he was too far set in his ways to change.
    Shame, Nas brought real fun back to boxing with his style. :-(

    Calzaghe
    Margarito

    But mainly the hype not really frauds. Calzaghe is only bashed b/c of the unwarranted unearned accomplishments he gets. Out of all fighters on this board ...lol they say he will beat the most people just B/c. Despite the fact he fought the lowest level of competition amongst any top fighter. He fought an Old Bhop(just b/c he dominated Pavlik dont make him prime..lol that was surreal affair) and Old shot to **** cokehead Roy and Kessler and Lacy. He beat Kessler decisively so that proves he is not a Ottke type. He smacked Lacy around more than any human being has been slapped ever. That is genuis book type ****. So that is quality. But eeking out the ugliest split decision in a important championship fight against Hopkins sheerly b/c he was the fresher fighter dont convince me he is the better fighter. I would not say he ducked anybody or anybody ducked him but he damn for sure was content with just defending his WBO strap. Lacy had to pursue a fight with him although Calzaghe Rick James the hell out of em. Lacy was the one challenging him to unify as Lacy respected him as the #1 guy.

    David Haye. the ****er beat bunch of cronies at CW, moved up to the HW division and made him self the savor of the HW division and called everybody bumbs, and the clown had the audocity to implicity put his name with the same breath as Ali, Frazier, Dempsey, and Mariciano.

    Calzaghe is not a fraud. Sure he didn't have the best resume but he was a great champ with good skills and underrated toughness. He's an ATG.

    He beat some good cruisers but he is a fraud at heavy b/c he is going to get knocked the **** out worse than anybody. I see him getting knocked out getting up and reeling around the ring worse than the Zab not playing with matches.
