Calzaghe The Greatest Fighter Of The Last 25 Years!

This is lunacy.

What is the value of this? What is the purpose of it?

It's fine to debate who you think would win a specific fight, but WTF is the value or purpose of creating an imaginary resume for someone? What can it mean, other than a criticism of the subject for not fighting the guys on the fictional resume?

Truly the WORST point I have ever read on here.

 

Superb point amigo- and I don't mean just in this instance, it's good whenever anyone uses compubox's utterly meaningless stats to discredit someone who is tossing them around like concrete proof of anything. If only people would watch fights, score them themselves, and form opinions on how/why one guy won a fight, instead of statistics. Bravo JonOli, for putting this sorry sorry excuse for a boxing fan in his place (as has now been done to him for at least the 5,000th time in this thread alone)

 

:happy

Well said. The amount of times I get abuse for being a Filippino as my name is proof I like Pacquiao, or for being American when I say I think Hopkins was better than Calzaghe, when really I'm from Scotland and have no ties to any fighter, I just call it like I see it- I care more about boxing than any boxer, so nationalist or petty rivalries mean nothing to me. Good on you for helping the ESB battle against prejudice

 

Is that a joke??

How the **** would beating up a 40-year-old guy who hasn't beaten a top 10 ranked light-heavyweight for 4 years, and got sparked out twice in his last 3 fights against decent opposition, how the hell would that put him "up there" as one of the greatest fighters of the last 25 years? What possible bearing could winning this sorry money-making farce of a fight have on his all-time status?

This thread is getting sordid now, it was bad enough when it was just 1 imbecile making idiotic and unfounded claims about Calzaghe, but now its getting beyond a joke.

 

Actually think about what you're saying mate, it's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. What in God's name is the point of building an actual resume then, if a fictional resume is even going to contribute to your world/all-time ranking? And if it doesn't contribute to that, then again I ask: what is the value of purpose of it?

And of course the very obvious reason why it CANNOT ever make sense or be worth writing on a panty-liner is: Boxing history is punctuated with suprises and upsets. In a sport where one lucky punch can end a career or change a fighter's destiny or alter history, HOW can we apply a ridiculous "favourite always wins" rule, and create a fantasy resume for a guy, made up of risks he never took and challenges he never faced??

I can't actually believe I'm having to explain this to anyone, this is INSANE!!!!!???!! atsch :yikes :-(

 

I haven't been on here in a couple of days, and I can't believe that my fellow Calzaghe fans are still embarrassing us with this pathetic thread.

A fake resume part of the future!?! What the **** is that guy smoking!!!!? :rasta :rasta :rasta
