    This thread was meant to pull the log up on the few remaining grubby Calslappy lunatics. It has served its purpose and can be deleted.

    Calslappy, the fighter whose resume is mostly Mikkel Kessler, who has been knocked down 5 times, who "defended" a then obscure belt in his back yard for 90% of his career, should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Usyk.

    Love Super Joe. Definitely the goat Super Middleweight and one of the ATG’s of the sport. But Usyk has the edge. And Usyk is still going strong at an age Calzaghe retired.

    Usyk, no question.
    Calzaghe wasted too many years defending a lowly ranked belt against lowly ranked contenders. And only stuck his head above the parapet vs the biggest names of his era once they had declined. And I say this as a Brit.
