Better career: Lennox Lewis or Joe Calzaghe

I dont think that its even close, Lewis is far out in front. If Lewis hadnt had those slip ups he would be a top 5 all timer. Joe beatting Old jones and Hopkins didnt wipe away fighting nothing in the way of elite fighters for 90% of his career...And in his own words after the Jones fight "My last three fight topped everything I have done in the rest of my career"

Enough said

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

LOL

10 out of 10. Well done.

 

You aren't aware that his KO record is a bunch of local toughmen (pre-Eubank) and near bums afterward with few exceptions [Sheika on cuts, Woodall (weak stoppage and he retired after the fight), and Mitchell - legit (arguably though) - as both were swinging for the fences and Mitchell himself recently said it was a premature ref stoppage (I agree) and it was late in the round so who knows if Joe would have finished him].

Joe was never a big puncher.

He was really hurt in the last seconds of the 12th against a non-peak Eubank. Joe was dropped by Mitchell, Salem, Hopkins and Jones.

Raw power and aggression? What are you smoking?

lennox lewis

 

wow landslide...to think that lennox has never been in the top 10 p4p in his career

 

Lennox Lewis

 

Heavies don't often crack P4P lists, the same with Wlad now.

I'm no fan of his, but he is certainly amongst the top ten fighters in the world at present.

Also the standard of fighters isn't the same as it was ten years ago either.

 

Lewis had the 2 losses, but fought the better overall calibre of opponents.

 

bec JC never fight outside his comfort zone

 

big fan of both but its lennox

 

Lennox

 

Funny thing here....Lewis is way out in front on this poll, and isnt seen as a top 20 great, yet some seem to think that Calzaghe is....I know that its only hardcore sackswingers but still that is funny.
