Calzaghe's recent resume is........

ouch!!

 

Manfredo clearly beat Mora in the rematch but that doesn't make him a threat at all of course. Calzaghe's last good fight was Lacy but who cares?, he did take 2 easy fights and now is fighting the man everyone wants him to fight.

 

After the Kessler bout Calzaghe will have fought the 2nd and 3rd best fighters in his division in his last 4 fights,can't think of many number 1 guys in any division who has done that.Beating up on paper champs is what the American fight scene is all about.

 

Calzaghe has fought cops, firemen, construction workers, etc for years until he finally fought a live body in Lacy...Calzaghe is actually just NOW starting to fight good fighters...Kessler is another good step for Calzaghe...

 

Calzaghe is todays version of Roy Jones Jr. He's extremely gifted has a few god wins but for the most part you have to ask who has he fought?.

 

Right all you calzaghe haters,i just want to put something to you,apart from roy jones jnr who was too early in his career to box,who exactly has joe calzaghe ducked? unfortunatly he's come from an era where there hasn't been any massive names,and its only since he beat up ur man(lacy)have you yanks started slating him,funny that aint it,just face it he's the best smw by far today and possibly of all time,and is easily in the top 6 p4p,and imo 3rd after pacman and mayrunner.

 

I knew there would be no answers,come on everyone i want some names

 

If Calzaghe has been fighting weak opponents then what the hell has Mayweather been doing as his world title opponents win loss records are worse.

Calzaghes opponents 585-45
Mayweather opponests 733-83

Both have fought 21 world title matches btw.

 

Kessler fought for world title in his 31st pro bout whilst Calzaghe done it in his 23rd

As for Kessler's world title opppnents,there records add up to 231-27
still not as good as Calzaghe's opponents....funny that lol

 

To be honest i put a simular question on another forum and got exactly the same response....... **** all,the fact is calzaghe's only fought the people that were around at the time,it's not his fault there's been nobody in his class.
IMO he's just made alot of boxers look ordinary even if they wern't,it's so easy to say after a boxer beats an opponent 'oh he was never that good anyway'.
I can just see it now come november the 3rd, 'all he had was a right hand,he had no footwork,too overhyped',sound familiar?:think

 

Have you any names for me then Mr 'dawg'.:lloll

 

Beyer was champion one minute, then he'd lose and regain. As for Ottke, his words were "you're a good champion, I'm a good champion... let's keep it that way"

 

This is a list of titleholders Calzaghe could have faced since he beat Chris Eubank, any one of which would have improved his resume. Note that there is still a significant number of contenders who did not hold belts that Calzaghe could have faced at some point (but failed to do so):

Glenn Catley
Charles Brewer (while he was champ, not the shot fighter JC beat)
Sven Ottke
Sugar Boy Malinga
Robin Reid (while he was champ)
Marcus Beyer
Dingan Thobela
Eric Lucas
Richie Woodhall (while he was champ)
Frankie Liles
Bruno Girard
Byron Mitchell (while he was champ)
Anthony Mundine

So the "there was nobody to fight" argument, as with virtually every fighter out there, holds no water with Calzaghe.
