    Everyone knows the Kessler fight was a nice win. How much credit should someone get for beating Bika? Bika is a crude journeyman with no signature wins.

    Good read. Kessler, Lacy, and Bika wins are legit wins. He was an A caliber figher fighting in a weaker division. He definitely could have used better competition to better define him as a dominant fighter or an A- Caliber fighter....

    in all fairness, i did miss sheika on my list. also, i should have wrote that some of the fighters were coming off losses in their last 2 or 3 fights but i think people get the point of this post.

    This is the problem with using year end rankings, they don't always tell the full picture.

    Lacy and Bika are both weak. So he beat Kessler? Awesome. Great career.

    That vid/truth will always haunt Calzaghe fans.

    Look at how many of the guys that got 'stopped' were saying WTF to the ref.

    I know he has a tendency to troll and I know his ranking views are quite obscure at times but his stat checking is excellent.

    My query is that the ts has used the ring annual rankings, easiest to access and I use them myself. But bailley has countered that with some rankings he's posted.

    Now if they're the monthly rankings and all legitimate, then joe's resume isn't as bad as I first thought.

    Probably because no-one with any credibility takes this guy seriously, ever. He is the most biased fanboy cheerleader on the forum. :lol:

    The Ring ratings are based on opinions which is unfair, so I used the Boxing Monthly ratings for the fighters not listed and left what the thread starter stated for fighters that were rated. If I used all of the statistics it would favour Calzaghe more, but I couldnt be bothered to go to full lengths. The ratings I used were in the months not a year end which doesnt tell the truth

    Its because they cant argue the facts
    Exactly
    No ***, unlike you Lufcrazy doesnt hide from facts. You still crying after I upset you? :lol:
    But always above you, who cant debate one single fact :lol:. Pair up with Lance_uttercunt and become the new dumb and dumber
    Who used facts, and facts arent bias but are what they are.
    Always one step ahead of you Popkins
    No probs. Notice how the thread came to an end when counter facts were produced :lol:
