Calzaghe or Toney...Who is better prime for prime?

Joe also didn't put forth the effort did to make BIG fights with BIG names in VARIOUS DIVISIONS. I am sure you would admit that.

The resume is no contest. Having 0 losses isn't everything in boxing. SRR had plenty of losses, so did Duran, Hearns, etc.

It was a lot easier for JC to keep his perfect record intact when he was sitting at his natural weight, against PRIMARILY easy competition.

 

Hahahahahahahah you think JC is better technically than Toney. Wow, you must've never boxed in your life.

atsch

 

Tiberi also clocked Toney in the nuts in the 6th. That might slow your feet down too.

 

Nope, I've watched them both fight genius, something you obviously have never done.

THE RESUME QUESTION SHOULD BE SIMPLE. Toney has fought almost twice as many times, against MUCH better competition, in 5 weight classes...

As far as my views on a fight, it's simple. JC leaves himself open because his combinations aren't straight and not always crisp. He can get wild, and his balance isn't always so great.

Toney loves sitting in the pocket and counter punching. He's beaten fighters using just a counter straight right (which would give JC fits). Toney loves in-fighting, loves having his back against the ropes and having someone come at him, he's got maybe the best chin of this generation, and he is one of the most resourceful/savvy fighters out there.

On a skill level (for what they have demonstrated in the ring), there is no comparison.

Rocky Marciano is undefeated, but nobody considers him the best heavyweight either. The problem is that Calzaghe nuthuggers think that an undefeated record in ONE SOFT DIVISON, against mostly unknowns is good enough to earn ATG status. It's not. Also, Rocky beat BETTER competition than Calzaghe anyway.

 

Longevity - Calzaghe JC has fought half the fights in 4 less years against much weaker competition in only one weight class
Consitancy - Calzaghe YES, we know Toney is a fat ass, but he was also competitive on and off for 18 years in 5 weight divisions while being a fat ass, not easy to do.
Domination of a weight class - Calzaghe Calzaghe dominated a division better, yes. He also refused to fight outside of it, and fought lackluster competition. Toney took on bigger challenges and moved to better divisions (sometimes ate himself there haha)
Unifying titles - Calzaghe When, a year ago? Toney beat Nunn for the Middleweight Championship at age 22.
Unbeaten streak - Calzaghe It's easier to do that against soft competition. Admittedly, Toney was too fat and lazy to do it anyway haha
Drawing power (fans/money) - Calzaghe Irrelevant, doesn't go on a boxing resume. Besides Toney had 7 figure paychecks before JC was a pro.
Offense - even (JT the better counter puncher but JC way more active) JC is more offensively oriented and has a better knockout ratio, but is he more effective against top competion? We don't know!
Power - Toney Obviously
Defense - Toney NOT EVEN CLOSE
Competition - Toney NOT EVEN CLOSE
Image - Toney (he's american, black, and an ******* - for some reason that makes him rank higher to the biased american boxing media!!!) Irrelevant to his boxing resume. Toney gets credit because HE SEEKS OUT BIG FIGHTS, something that JC didn't do nearly as much of.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT JC HAS A BETTER RESUME???
