I never insinuated Joe Calzaghe was all time great caliber. You persist on calling him Slappy, and I feel considering the opposition he has defeated and hurt, it's a bad assessment of Joe's punching power.
That left uppercut of Razor's was a difficult one to defend against, because guys rarely saw it coming. Tyson, Dokes, Smith, and numerous others felt the hurt of it.
I also loathe the fact the fighters of different generations are regarded as gods and are unbeatable by any of todays fighters.
I dont post mutch, but seeing how everyone open their hearts Ill give few cents. I tend to pick Mosley over everyone, but now seeing him old and gassping for air in later rounds I pick him in fantasy prime for prime matchups instead :yep Even tho his defense looks extremly shity at times i still try to hide that fact deep in my mind. As for hating, I hated floyd some time ago, but now I just dont get into all that hype (24/7 ...) and that helps me to enjoy his perfomance in the ring. As for Calzaghe, I hate his fans and it becomes very diffcult not to root against him even tho hes a great fighter.
I don't think this is true. Time and time again the fighters of today are picked against the old timers. I think the fact remains that Boxing was better than it used to be, and in no way have the athletes evolved from say the 60s and 70s. The last time we saw a fighter as good as Leonard was arguably Roy, who doesn't have a resume in anyway comparable to Leonard. And for that match up, at Middleweight at least, Roy Jones wins.
Not everyone is of that opinion though, a lot of people class Hagler, Hearbs, Leonard and Duran as unbeatable by people today. I think RJJ and PBF will go into that catergory in 20 years time too.
I hope that isn't the case. I give preference to fighters who fought everybody. Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, and Duran all did that.
David Haye is my favourite fighter and I think he'd beat any heavyweight out there....I'll probably be proven wrong, but I think he'd KO Wlad if they fought this year. I didn't like Mayweather before the Hatton fight, but now I want him to become as close to the best ever as possible. I want to say I saw the best boxer ever. I hope he beats DLH, Cotto and a class fighter from a higher weight to give himself the best chance to be the best ever. I really like Hatton and he's vastly underrated by americans. I'm not sold on Calzaghe, but I hope he destroys Hopkins. Not sure what please me more, Hopkins KO'd early or a 120 - 108 boxing masterclass. I hate Junior Witter. He's a whining **** and vastly overrated by people who haven't watched him enough. I want to see Pac flattened.
