    If Herol Graham could get robbed against McCallum. I think Calzaghe would win on points or get robbed.

    I respect your opinion but I totally disagree on both counts.

    Calzaghe never faced punchers with the power of Mclellan & Benn. Benn would admittedly get shown up for most of the fight but it would only be a matter of time before Benn would find him. Mclellan would have him in 3 or 4 rounds.

    For a 46 and 0 record, his resume of opponents is exceptionally poor and even Calzaghe is embarrassed by this saying something along the lines that Froch had been lucky that he had the Super-Six tournament to fight the best in the division etc. but when all's said and done Calzaghe had a decade to rectify this.

    I think the G-Man gasses out after 6 rounds and loses on points or by late knockout. I think Benn falls short a lot of the time on the big occasions if it isn't against guys like Iran Barkley or Doug Dewitt. Who are both overrated but can surprise you and get a big win.

    Calzaghe was better than Nigel Benn. Eubank is better than Nigel Benn. More skilled boxer, better chin, faster, and stronger. Eubank is stronger than Nigel Benn. And i think Benn is a good boxer but his mentality was weak and he seemed to crumble when he had to grind in out on certain occasions.

    I think Benn gets frustrated by Calzaghes speed. Calzaghe would beat people by speed and guys would be shocked how hard his slaps actually were. I think he would shock Benn and would win by UD. I like Benn but Calzaghe is in a different league.

    There is zero chance any Calzaghe beats the Benn that beat Mclellan regardless of strengths and weaknesses.

    Calzaghe was a great boxer but not a great champion - the fact it took him 10 years to fight in the US after wining his world title is pretty pathetic to be honest.

    I think only Jones Jr would beat Calzaghe around his middleweight to super middleweight era. I think Jones biggest wins were McCallum and Toney.

    And i honestly think Calzaghe beats McCallum and Toney, too.

    I think you're a troll and have a dislike for Calzaghe. Benn wouldn't cope with Calzaghe.

    And if Herol Graham and Kalambay can cope with McCallum. I think Calzaghe would, too.


    You're just hating on the guy because you can.

    And Camacho is the only person in history to beat both Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran twice, two bonofide top 10 ATG's. Does this make Camacho the GOAT? And do you rank him above Calslappy?

    This is why i respect Froch far more cause it didnt took him even close to 5 years to fight in america. Froch fought more on the road then Calzaghe.
