    Calzaghe's under rated ?
    There is 1 % difference in their ko ratio,yet one is portrayed as amonster and the other feather fisted.
    If hearns is classed as one of the all time big hitters then so should calzaghe

    I'm just wondering if you compared their opposition.

    Hearns fought better opponents and ended up fighting as a cruiser weight in his 40s

    Exactly he started at 147lbs and moved all the way up to 190lbs that's 6 divisions and 43lbs. Lets see what Calzaghe's KO percentage would be had he had half his fights above his best weight like Hearns did.

    Calslappy had accumulation of slaps KOs. Hearns was more like a dillinger to the face, from the video.

    Eubank was impressed with Calzaghe's power he's stated it numerous times.nigel benn couldn't do it with a legitimate head shot yet his punch power is supposedly amazing

    Eubank said benn hit the hardest and he benn did drop him. Hearns had one punch ko power up through all the weights he climbed. Ko better fighters than jc at many weights

    Eubank was up straight away though he wasn't hurt. I think it was Calzaghe's speed that was the factor here, he caught Eubank with shots he didn't see coming. Calzaghe had more power than some would like to admit but he wasn't on Hearns level as a puncher.
