Greater/Better fighter: Joe Calzaghe, Aaron Pryor, or Jung Koo Chang

Chang having decisive victories over Zapata and Chitalada (elite tier wins imo) makes me pick him here for number 1. He also has a lot of solid B tier wins where he was also massively dominant. H2H there are very few people capable of beating him around his weight class.

Pryor. Has good wins over Arguello and Cervantes but then it sort of drops imo. Amazing fighter but he showed vulnerabilities in his prime against less than elite opposition that Chang simply didn't. H2H there are several I would give a good or great chance of winning.

Calzaghe, for me, has the usual criticisms. However his wins over Kessler, Hopkins and Reid are legitimately underrated on here. He also has other decent names like Bika, Woodhall etc. like Chang he only showed slight vulnerabilities at his best. H2H he was amazing imo and I can't really pick another 168lber to beat him best for best

To be a bit contrarian my list will be:
1. Chang
2. Calzaghe
3. Pryor

 

Calzaghe


Chang
Pryor

 

Dunno about the OP I'm not knowledgeable enough on Chang & Pryor but it's always enjoyable to behold the triggering when it comes to Calzaghe .. even better is to get a spare hour or so & go back & watch him slap up Lacy & Hopkins

 

— Chang > Calzaghe > Pryor.
— Calzaghe is better than both Chang and Pryor, IMO.
— Pryor is my personal favorite of the three.

 

You must be talking about another forum. He definitely doesn't get praised up in here as if he was a god, not remotely.

 

He sure could slap and cuff a mfer though.

 

Definitely an effective fighter mate, absolutely.
