    Would a win over Wlad (for Haye) rank above Calzaghe's win over Hopkins?

    :lol: how can the two even be compared? The circumstances and boxers involved are totally different

    Agreed...

    Haye/Wlad can end any second

    Hopkins/Calzaghe was a full 12 round fight where arguably the two smartest and best adapters of boxing pitted their wits.... with each others style poison for the other....

    So basically thats a yes then but you can't bring yourself to say it (same as "Iron Fist Joe").

    Of cause they can be compared. We all rank fighters, mainly through their victories - this is a micro version of that comparing the overall value of two wins. It's not meant to be an exact science you know, just which you believe to be the greater achievment.

    Yes because in my opinion Hopkins won the fight against Calzaghe ... Calzaghe was just flailing and windmilling shots -- wasn't even landing or making contact and got a decision win.

    I'm sure that if Haye beat Wlad ... it would be by knockout and with Wlad on a rampage right now ... it would be more convincing than any Calzaghe victory. Wlad is in his physical prime as well --

    I don't think Haye will beat Wlad though ... he look good for 3 rounds then that Klitschko jab will take over and he'll be finished by a right hand.

    It's actually a "JonOli has a hard on for Calzaghe and made a transparent, irrelevant thread to try to discredit him"

    What gets me is that many of the people who say Wlad sucks will be sucking Haye off for beating him, just like many of the same who thinks Hopkins is the greatest thing ever give Calzaghe zero credit for that win

    yes without a doubt, haye is a big big underdogg in this fight a live one but a big underdogg either way
    wlad is the main man in the division and haye is the guy coming up from cruiserweight

    joe's win was great but many saw it coming
