Does calzaghe have the best record in history ??

He never fought Byrd.

His last loss was in the Junior European Championships in 1990 at 139lbs against a Romanian in Prague.

 

I've explained this on your other thread.

His record would still be awesome! He would still have beaten every ATG he ever faced, and he would have still been a middleweight who beat every HW he ever fought. He wouldnt have 200 wins, but he'd still have a better record than Calzaghe, whos opposition was incredibly poor, fighting boxers with incredibly padded records.

You cant critise Greb's opponents without doing the same for Joey.

And i'd like to point out, im a massive Calzaghe fan!

 

He has like 300 fights and only knocked 48 out...i reckon malinaggi would do better than that! haha

 

Certainly one of the best.

 

Thanks MadMan, thats the best laugh ive had in a long time.

 

In addition to beating up on scores of no hopers and bums, Greb beat Gene Tunney (the only one to do so) and scores of other champions and top contenders, including heavyweights (like Gunboat Smith who he kayoed in one round) and also fought the mostly avoided black fighters of the time (including several fights with the fierce Kid Norfolk).

The overmatched opponents aside, Greb fought and defeated three times as many world class opponents as Calzaghe did.

Not to knock Calzaghe , who baffled several world class challengers, but your degradation of Greb to elevate Joe doesn't make any sense, and it just displays your ignorance of boxing history, and puts into question your agenda in the first place.

 

He wouldn't as he's pro record is way to weak.

While most are takin the **** you should enlighten us with the guys that would have beaten Calzaghe and i know i will laugh louder.

 

Not that you really care, but he was a middleweight who was fighting Heavys

 

Your a muppet if you think those 300 fights were 12 rounders

 

haha.
