Is Calzaghe one of the most physically gifted fighters ever 168+ north?

he ruined daniels and hakkar...they had so much promise...esp Hakkar...what a war:deal

 

at 168 and up on pure talent...JC is below jones and maybe ali and tyson...his handspeed was great...his thlticicism and rhythym and footwork were great...his chin was great...he would be tough to beat by anyone at anytime in history

 

Honestly, if we are talking about which fighters 168+ are more "physically gifted" then Calzaghe, its a really long list. In recent times, I would say Lewis, Holyfield, Hopkins, Toney, Jones were all superior physically to Calzaghe. Probably Eubank as well.

 

This thread is asking about his skills...why do you always have to whine about your ****ed up perception of his career?

Did Joe give you herpes?

 

Sugar ray leonard said very similar things but it wont stop the haters spouting their bile about him constantly:roll:
Stamina wise calzaghe was amazing I dont know of any other fighter who could keep up the workrate he did for every fight he had.
I know some have done it in some of their fights but seriously every single fight he fights at such a high tempo his workrate is unreal.
And lets not forget he never felt any need for using substances
The thing that is so impressive also about his career was the fact that his hands have been so brittle for the last 6 years maybe more and yet he found ways to win and adapt to situations.
Thats what is one of his most impressive attributes.

 

Ali , RJJ

 

He seems so damn tough to fight in a ring cause he brings his skills to the table for 36 minutes non stop if needed ! Marvin saw in Calzaghe, his own determination and endless stamina...but in Calzaghe's case, you can add much more speed and quicker feet, which makes it hell in the ring.

 

i would say one of the more mentally gifted.

 

There was a post early today from a recent interview with Eubanks. He went down the list of toughest, smartest, fastest, best defense, etc. Eubanks said Calzaghe was the fastest fighter he ever faced.

 

Calzaghe was one of the most physically gifted I've ever seen. His gifts though not as pleasing to the eye as Roy Jones in his prime, all combined though were just as effective. Somone here once mentioned he was like a great jazz drummer doing a solo. I thought that summed it up pretty well.

 

Calzaghe never impressed me.he throwed little..pitter pats and resorted to slapping..which was amatuerish.Im a firm believer that regardless of the decision...HOPKINS WHIPPED HIS ASS!

 

Without going into too much detail, no. You should be slapped for suggesting such a thing.:hi:
