    When Otkkes concerned there's no comparrison. Surely that should be obvious.

    Otkke v Reid was quite breathtaking!





    For all the wrong reasons.

    It doesn't surprise me that Calzaghe fought only bums because if its true as posters in boxing forums think and state that ALL boxers are bums, are shot, should retire or are over rated.
    Why even bother discussing the sport?

    But you talk ****, you only mention the bad fighters that the people he beat had beaten and not the good ones.

    Also most of the fighters he beat never held a title because Calzaghe was so dominant in the division. Also for the other titles Ottke won a lot of dubious hometown decisions.

    This is a bull**** thread. You could do a similar breakdown on every fighter.

    Omar Sheika was a 23-year-old prospect with 1 loss and had just beaten G. Johnson. It is not Joe's fault that he never achieved more.

    WHY DID THESE FIGHTERS DESERVE A SHOT? The question shows a lack of knowledge.

    Mario Veit was Joe's mandatory and ranked in the top 10 of every organisation, including #5 WBC. Again not Joe's fault that he never achieved more after they fought.

    Tocker Pudwell was a LATE replacement for Thomas Tate.


    What has Allen Green done to deserve TWO straight title shots?

    Did Dirrell and Ward initially deserve to be in the Super Six ahead of Andrade, Bika etc?

    Does Brinkley deserve a shot at Bute?

    Does Mendy deserve a shot at Bute or Brinkley?


    If WORLD CHAMPIONS Reid, Woodhall and Mitchell, etc are BUMS, and a prime Roy Jones and a prime Hopkins are the very BEST WHO were the 300 VERY GOOD fighters in between?

    The division was poor around that time. Benn, Eubank, Collins, Jones and Toney had gone. We had various WBC, WBA, IBF champs and Ottke.
    Calzaghe beat who was there, Bika, Mger etc were decent fighters.
    Some of them were a little rusty around the edges, so what?
    A 25 year old Calzaghe with good hands and ambition would handle all the current Super 6 and Bute. The guy did everything that he could have, just perhaps his timing in coming to the front and taking certain fights was "out". Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse.

    Wow. That OP was very thorough. I expected merely another Calzaghe bashfest. I know it was 2 years ago, and doesn't cover everything, but still ....

    Those fights were even worse than I thought.

    The Calzaghe faithful should be here anytime now. Should make for interesting debate.

    You're right, bums is a little harsh. But some of these guys weren't worthy opponents for sure.

    PS- Nice avatar.

    Who the hell upped this?

    Oh, it was realsoulja.

    Dude you need to make it less obvious when you've just spent the last hour wanking off to years old Calzaghe troll threads...
