3 great fighters. 3 great fights. You choose- MAYWEATHER, CALZAGHE, PRYOR

Lacy wasn`t a big name??? LOL He WAS the future of American boxing. And Kessler wasn`t a big name as the unbeaten WBA/WBC champion.

 

You guys, Pugilist, Smiffy etc, are so BIASED it is untrue.

Lacy and Kessler were very good names for Calzaghe to fight, no-one is denying that, but the remark that started this whole shitty usual Calzaghe bollocks debate was some guy saying Calzaghe didn't have weight on the world stage throughout his career- and he didn't. He held the WBO title only for too long as that is not as highly rated as the other three mostly, and he fought at home too long. The guy wasn't criticizing Calzaghe, it's just his opinion (and mine, and the vast majority of non-fanboys).

Joe got Lacy and Kessler in '06 and '07 to come to the UK, but he didn't get Hopkins and Jones the whole period 1997-2007, and they are undoubtedly far far FAR bigger names than either Lacy or Kessler will ever be. Calzaghe didn't have the weight to get those fights earlier in his career, he didn't have the weight to get them to cross the water at all, and now he only gets them by going to the US when both guys are on their way down (well, Jones was clearly rock-bottom some time ago, Hopkins was still competing well at world level). Joe fighting Manfredo at the Millennium Stadium or Ricky fighting Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium were nowhere near as big fights as Calzaghe-Hopkins at the Thomas & Mack or Hatton-Floyd at the MGM Grand, so attendance means nothing if the fight isn't right.

How do I put this for you blinkered biased fanboy psychopaths???...

...THE GUY WAS NOT CRITICIZING YOUR BELOVED. He was stating a simple fact.

 

Any chance at all any of the Calzaghe Fanboy Troop have any opinions to offer on the actual subject of the thread, or as usual were you all just trolling looking for any mention of Calzaghe that wasn't "Joe was the Greatest Fighter of the Last 25 Years" so you could start all your favourite arguments again? (and lose- again). It's a question of Floyd, Joe or Pryor, take your pick or bore off somewhere else.

 

He wasn't shot the night he stopped Sharmba Mitchell in 3.

 

Mayweather and Pryor would have won

Assumed resumes mean nothing anyway. This isn't Vitali Klitschko.
