For the calzaghe haters.................

I agree 100%. :good

 

Well said!

 

Dont think you can really put Hopkins alongside the rest of these guys when it comes to resume either

 

That's silly.

Eubank, Bika, Kessler, Mitchell, Brewer, Woodall and loads of others were tough fighters. How many great fighters have strange losses to fighters you wouldn't expect them to? It takes dedication to string up a list of title defences like Calzaghe and Hopkins did, no matter who the opponents were.

 

De La Hoya, Pavlik, Calzaghe, Tarver, Trinidad, Winky, Jermaine Taylor...... and that's just in the last 5 or so years. He's fought pretty much everyone, win or lose and always tried to avenge his losses.

 

Sorry, Joe.

 

Yes. DLH, Trinidad, Winky, and Tarver were great wins for him. I also thought he beat Taylor twice.

 

Don't forget Pavlik. That **** was impressive! It was so impressive in fact that right now people think Pavlik sucks which is definitely not the case. Now that could have been a good win on Calzaghe's resume, he missed the opportunity.

 

Ok....so when hes not picking on smaller guys he's generally losing

 

Calzaghe for the most part of his career fought at a heavier weight, Tarver did all his career.

 

Keep an eye out for this poster, fellas. ^ He established himself as an objective and critical talent quite awhile ago. We need more posters like this.

 

Anyone here knows I have defended Joe, but I still wanna see him vs dawson, and Earl johnson:hey

 

I'd favor Calzaghe to beat: Leonard, Hearns, Haglar, and Duran @ 168. Chavez and Pac. are too small and he allready beat Hopkins before Hopkins fought, to paraphrase, "The greatest fight of my career" , against Pavlik.


If Calz. retires undefeated his legend will grow

 

and your a friggin idiot, of course. :yep

 

Did Otke's legend grow? Serious question, because you have to know that picking apart detail by detail a fighters accomplishments is what boxing historians do. We know this. If or when Kessler goes down, Calzaghe's legacy will be significantly damaged according to many people already.
