    Calzaghe is a more talented Ottke. He feasted on bums and old men his whole career. Froch's resume is better, although Calzaghe would beat Froch.

    Spinks was a guy that fought at heavyweight. Calzaghe got hurt by ancient Hopkins and shot Jones at light heavy, you do the math. Spinks has too much for Calzaghe.

    Nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans in the U.K know who Calzaghe is.

    Dead on.:good

    The only reason he is even talked about is because his fans are so delusional and make ridiculous comparisions like Joe vs SRR, Spinks, LaMotta and nonsense like that. And the people who actually KNOW boxing get so frustrated with these morons that we bother to entertain them with an argument. When the truth of the matter is that Joe was a GOOD fighter. Thats it! There is nothing more to it.

    I think, nay, I know that if Spinks was in his prime and fighting today, we would not be having this discussion. The guy is truly one of the great LHW's.

    Calzaghe would outbox and clearly beat Spinks.
    Spinks would have just been another American name on Calzaghes win column, to go with Jones, Hopkins, Brewer, Lacy, Mitchell, Manfredo, Sheika etc

    He also said Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier, And use to call Zab Judah a better version of Pernell Whitaker(Even though Zab showed no defense)

    Calzaghe fighting at heavyweight would be comical. Watching him unleash the old thousand slap flurries would be a perverse pleasure.

    Kellerman is a complete joke.

    Calzaghe would "outbox and clearly beat" Spinks?Based on which one or ones of Joe's performances?And you're comparing Spinks to those others on this post-"Just another American name...Manfredo,Sheika etc".Seriously,have you ever even seen Michael Spinks fight,or are you referring to Cory?Oh that's right.You're the fellow that claimed only a couple of weeks ago that Jermaine Taylor would have beaten Marvin Hagler.Bailey,wave bye-bye to your credibility:hi:.
