    I know Joe was hurt a couple times in the Jones fight, but Joe still won so it doesn't matter. Calzaghe still is overrated.

    Kinda ironic he was actually under-rated for the fight since a lot of people thought Roy still had the goods to win it.

    Oops.

    "Hurt a couple of times' - LOL!:patsch

    Since you have already shown that you are an idiot (or have some other agenda???) explain:

    1. How each of these is overrated (explain their high rating and why you believe it to be wrong???)?

    2. How is each of these overhyped (explain their hype, who hyped them and why thay hype has been proven to be misplaced?)?

    3. How is each of these a fraud (explain their promise and how they misrepresented that or were exposed as liars?)?

    We await your astute reply Mr. Boxing

    Calzaghe: Fought absolutely no great boxers his whole career, until his last two fights of his career, which he fought to great ATG fighters but who were both past their primes, in their 40s, and knocked him down in the 1st round. He is nothing but hype, not substance. The best fight in his career was against Mikkel Kessler, a fighter too scared to even fight the gatekeeper fighter, Edison Miranda.

    Hatton: The exact same as Calzaghe except he fought two ATG fighers in their prime and was KO'd both times. He also didn't wait until his career was over to fight those prime ATGs. HE is overrated as a HoF fighter and some even say ATG for beating a part time great fighter in Kostya, with help from a ref who allowed Hatton to blantantly wrestle.

    Haye: Is overhyped, not because of his success at Cruiserweight, which I think he was above average, but he did not face Cunningham who was the Number #1 contender before he moved up to Heavyweight. He is overrated at Heavyweight to think he deserves a shot at the Klitchkos, when he probably couldn't beat Chris Arreola, Kevin Banks, or Eddie Chambers (Those just being the American heavys, not to mention the young East European Heavys) The man was knocked down by Barrett and knocked out by Carl Thompson.

    For starters many people don't seem to understand what fraud means in this thread. However I think EVERYONE can agree that Audley has to be up there. This was the man that has repeatedly claimed, and made an absolute shitload of money from saying that he was gonna unify all the titles in the HW division. Now, I have no argument with anyone who says certain fighters have hollow records, cheap titles etc, you can make that case for pretty much every fighter in the P4P top ten these days. I see FM, JC, DLH, Pac, JMM, whoever, bashed for not being as good as others say they are, and tbh it seems that there is no-one in todays boxing world that is not "overrated" by the internet community. However I can safely say that not one of them has retained over a peroid of time a deluded aim of world domination and made more money than they ever truly earned or deserved based on this and have lost to a ****ING MICK TAXI DRIVER.

    Man, how **** is Pavlik if Hopkins destroyed his ass. Surely that makes Pavlik an even more over-rated boxer than even Calzaghe?

    Makes sense, doesn't it?


    Use your ****ing head next time, idiot. Instead of regurgitating the same old ******ed **** others trot out.
