168 - 175 are all living in Calzaghe's shadow

Ward beats him. and will accomplish more in his career.

 

Only Calzaghe fans bring him up, we are living in the present not the past.

 

Ward beats him? Based on what? Calzaghe would beat all of these guys.

 

:-(

 

yup only calzaghe fans(mostly the brits) have to keep reassuring themselves that he was good lol. continue to do whatever you to do to rationalize that to yourselves lol

 

froch already has a better resume then calzaghe

 

Ward is still pretty green and people fill the need to already pit him against Calzaghe. That's how good he is. This guy is going to get better and better. Let him establish himself as a P4P star first, then we'll talk about him vs Calzaghe, not Ward with only 4 world level fights under his belt.

 

:deal

 

:good
No one else care about JC. LOl If i was saying this, the last thing I would show is his resume. Its hardly that impressive.:-(

 

I am tired of this. Calzaghe was a really good fighter who the current crop should thank for helping to put the smw division into the spotlight it currently enjoys......

That being said.... the guy's competition during his prime was unimpressive...to say he would beat this fighter or that fighter is completely baseless. To say he would beat prime atg's, or prime studs of any era is speculation. People like to say he was undefeated and possessed these marvelous qualities that would carry him to victory over any fighter......but he didn't do it against the best, he did it against these guys........


So, with that.......judge for yourself..............

The fact that people are still having to justify Calzaghe's resumé even after he's retired by saying things such as 'Look, Calzaghe beat Kessler who went on to beat Froch', 'Bika gave Ward a rough night aswell, which makes Calzaghe's win look better', 'Calzaghe beat Hopkins who beat Pascal, showing Hopkins is still elite and Calzaghe has a great win' and even as far as **** like 'Calzaghe beat Kessler who beat Froch who beat Pascal who beat Dawson who was one of the top P4P fighters, [somehow] improving Joe's legacy' is a testament to the fact that his resumé is poor for a so called 'ATG'.

 

I'm a big Calzaghe fan, but these threads always sound desperate. Let it go. He's retired.

 

Hyped to the top beating Calzaghe and Bute's leftovers!!
He struggled against Sakio Bika...

 

I think Calzaghe is great (an ATG). But since he retired, his name and threads now belong in the Classic Forum. :hi:
