    I dont think any genine ATG/HOF was ever that bad.

    Calzaghe only deserves to be in the HOF due to 46-0. Going undefeated is an achievement, even when your shite

    That's true enough, consistency means something even when your opposition is mostly garbage. I give Calzaghe the same credit for that as I give Ricardo Lopez, Rocky Marciano, Floyd Mayweather, Sven Ottke, etc. A zero doesn't mean as much as a strong resume, but it does mean something at least.

    That was Enzo's favourite punch-leverage exercise. Body mechanics, it's all torque man. I heard Enzo used to go all Rocky IV on Joe's ass and get him to go outside with no gloves and do that to the trees in their garden. Neighbours used to think it was a family of woodpeckers, phoned the council. Too little too late, as the hand problems had already started...

    I rank Lopez, Mayweather and Marciano higher than Calzaghe.

    Mayweather aint finished his career yet. Both him and Rock have better resumes.

    When Rock was champ and undefeated, there was no question who was The MAN. He fought them all and beat them all, he didnt duck anyone

    Calzaghe ducked a rematch with BHop, ducked Dawson, Pavlik and ducked both Jones and BHop when they were younger. On top of that he has a garbage man resume and the most pathetic boxing "style" ever.

    Throw a hundred slaps and you might get a UD.

    Calzaghe rans higher than Ottke, Ottkes opposition makes Calzaghes look like Alis resume.

    Also Calzaghe is a complete tit in and out of the ring. He also made fun of Mike Tyson....which was not cool :mad:

    Wasnt Enzo lifting beer kegs and slamming lorry wheels with hammers before the Haye/Ofalobi fights???

    Why, oh why, would you lift beer kegs, when youve got a chin made of toilet paper?????

    Steve Collins and Gene Fullmer are another two top fighters with often sloppy looking arm punching.

    Neither were as bad with it as Calzaghe though.Both threw a lot of heavy clubbing shots as well as the pushed flurries.

    Calzaghes lack of power would very much hinder him against a lot of the better light heavies.Lucky for him he had a good chin and excellent stamina.

    No, he was down twice, in the first round against 2 of the bests guys he fought and both were over the age of 40, that does not constitue a good chin

    Yes
