Please Explain To Me Why Euro-Level Is Now Considered World Level?

Its wasnt the best against the best. Typical example of a European beating a C level American fighter and thinking he's great.

He never fought the best, he waited for them to get old. Hell a shot Roy Jones made Lacy quit on his stool, no big deal.

 

So Lacy, the IBF champion, Ring Rated #3 (I think), wasn't the best in America at that time, in that division?....

 

it was a champ against a champ, and the european champ took the american champ to school.

is this true or not true?

 

Please show where I said anything about champ. I said best. Jeff lacy clearly wasnt the best American Calzaghe could have fought.

What are you struggling with here?

 

there you go.

 

Lacy was the best American at 168lbs, and Calzaghe took him to school

true or false?

 

What does that have to do with anything I said. Saying Jacobs wasnt even a champ has nothing to do with my original statement that Europeans get beat when they fight Americas best.

Jacobs not even being a alphabet champ shows how it is a meaningless victory.

 

Weight class doesnt mean anything. He didnt beat the best regardless of wieght. He could have easily fought Roy when he was at 168. He could have fought Hopkins when he was at 160. 168 was a meaningless division populated by less talented Europeans for the last 20 years before the Wards and Dirrells.

 

the bottom line is that Calzaghe fought the best American in his division, and took the guy to school. Not the 2nd best, not the 3rd best, the best American in his division. And he completely and utterly schooled his ass.

You can come out with all you want about other fighters that Calzaghe could have fought, but the one he did fight, the one that was in the same division and him and who was a black American champion, he took his ass to ****ing school.

 

Oh I know what he means...it's like when Lewis beat Holyfield and Tyson, thats what he's looking for....

 

I said nothing about division. You did. I said best regardless. Divisions dont mean anything in boxing. Especially considering Roy was at 168 for a time. And Calzaghe ofught an old Hopkins at 175.


He fought a C level opponent. Instead of 2 legends in his prime. Hell he wouldnt even fight Glen Johnson. Glen Johnson at 168 was better then Jeff Lacy.

Again stop trying to weasel your way around Calzaghes ducking ***.

 

Lewis was the last of the great European champions. But even he mostly learned his craft in Canada and America. As to why he wasnt a *****.

 

You're the one weaseling. If the best American at 168 at the time was a C level fighter, then it is what it is.

 

When was the last time an American beat the best European fighter anyway?....Seeing as Hatton wasn't the best European fighter when Mayweather beat him....

Also what about Honeyghan beating Curry? Turpin beating Robinson? Schmeling beating Louis? Fitzsimmons beating Corbett?

 

OMG, can you not read that Roy Jones was at 168. What you really mean to say is that Calzghe waited for the best American to leave then fought a C level opponent.


Again stop being a weasel.
