    Charles fought Archie Moore four times, Walcott four times. Could Calzaghe fight them more than once each? I think not.

    Joe wouldn't have rematched any of them anyway.I believe the only person he rematched was Mario Veit.

    I have a lot of time for jc, even giving him the benefit of the doubt about some fighters he did not fight. However, Ezzard Charles is a bit of a stretch. Jc has no chance of hurting the Cobra, at all. He hits harder than most of the best fighters jc ever fought and he could box.

    So Calzaghe gets his ass handed to him by David Starie (I scored that one 10 rounds to 2 in favour of Starie), Mikkel Kessler (another fight I scored against Calzaghe by a wide margin) and Hopkins (another fight I scored against Calzaghe - narrower but still a stick on) and also gets a glimpse of how easily a prime time Jones would have dealt with him (went he got dumped on his ass and hurt in the first round!! haha).....yet he goes on to BUTCHER Ezzard Charles - give me a break - people need to get back to reality - there's too many people becoming fight fans these days who know jack $h1t about it - Calzaghe is one of the most over rated fighters in history - doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Ezzard Charles end of

    I completely understand, it's madness in the general, I just don't like the elitist attitude and want no part of it, we're posters just like them

    I don't see how Charles would have too much difficulty landing on the point of the chin of Calzaghe

    Charles straighter punches, better defense, similar speed and better timing, see him take it.

    Calzaghe beats Monzon though

    You don't know how to score a fight brah, stop trying

    PugilisticPower also swears that both Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather are top 25 ATGs, he is a complete cretin who is never to be taken seriously, ever. If you're ever in need of a laugh, just look back through his posting history on this site. There are speckles of dried-up **** clinging to the arsehair of polar bears in the Arctic Circle that know more about boxing than that miserable nonce.

    This. PP is not indicative of the General in general, there are many many good posters there. He is just one braindead goon, that's all.

    Although we can most definitely override his opinion when he makes a thread called:

    "Amir Khan would beat Sugar Ray Robinson".

    Which he did do way back. I've never forgotten it.

    Well yeah, that doesn't even need over riding, it should just be ignored

    was it a genuinely serious thread?

    Yes, he also thinks the Klits are the greatest HWs ever

    honestly atleast he's a consistent voice with the more modern boxing=evolution stance, a lot of people trying to push that opinion pick and choose and he believes 100% in that theory
