Calzaghe The Greatest Fighter Of The Last 25 Years!

The broken hand saved Joe from getting involved in a tearup. Calzaghe just jabbed him off the backfoot.

If memory serves me correctly, some boxing 'fans' complained about his tactics, seeing them as negative and called him a runner. Most though realised he was without doubt the P4P number one at the time.

 

WOW U REALLY JUST SAID SUGAR RAY ROBINSON CANT COMPARE...HEAD TO HEAD I GOT SUGAR RAY ROBINSON BY LATE ROUND TKO (SAY ROUND 11) OVER JOE...BUT HE CANT COMPARE..PLEASE QUIT POSTING UR MAKING NEWBIES IGNORANT TO THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT

 

AND HE SAID SUGAR RAY ROBINSON...(MOST SAY HES THE BEST LB FOR LB ALL TIME INCLUDING ME) CANT COMPARE TO JOE...

 

P4P is head to head.

By definition all that matters is skill and weight. Greatness doesn't come into it.

A weight lifter can be given a P4P ranking, his greatness doesn't come into it. It is how much he lifts per pound of his own body. Any professor of semantics would back me up here and would agree Joe Calzaghe is the P4P aka H2H number one of all time.

 

Speaking of certainty, might it not be possible to assign numerical values (between 0 and 1) to the probabilities of certain hypothetical events.

E.g.

Tyson v Ruiz

Tyson by KO (p= 0.99)


M.Ward v F. Mayweather

Ward by UD (p=0.00)


Calzaghe v Toney

Calzaghe by UD (p=1.00)


...and so on.


We could form a huge database with as many possible match-ups as we wished. With suitable software, we could develop assumed resumes , of incredible depth, for every ranked fighter in every division.

Computer technology would make this task less daunting than it would have appeared, say, in the 60's.

This idea still needs a lot of gruntwork, but I think you're on to something.

 

P4p Isnt Head To Head.....lb For Lb Manny Pacquio Is Better Than Klitchko..but If They Fought Vlad Would Knock Him Out

 

LAUGHING MY ****ING ASS OFF...THANK YOU....

 

Calm down, son.

If a boxer wins EVERY SINGLE FIGHT, then it's obvious that they're MORE consistent thanone with a couple of losses. That much is completely Obvious.

All I said was that Joe was MORE consistent than Lennox. (And he is). ONCE

IF you check better, with your eye-glasses on, you will see that it's NOT MY THREAD. The thread belongs to Pugilist64. It's HIM who ranks Joe #1 over the past 25 years.

I only rank him around #5.


Hope that clears things up for you.

 

P4P is H2H*(Weight)^-1

Weight and fighting ability, this is clear as you can make a P4P list of weight lifters. The ignorance on display here is almost moderately frustrating, but I will be patient.

 

SO WHOS BETTER LB FOR LB PACQUIO OR KLITCHKO?

AND HEAD TO HEAD WHO WINS PACQUIO OR KLITCHKO?

 

This thread needs to die
