If a fighter knows he's past his best and could lose due to it...

Do you condone retirement? Say in the case of Lennox Lewis where cuts were the reason he got away with being "past his best" against a young lion who was in the process of tearing him up.

Is it ducking if you say "I'm no longer the fighter I was, I need to get out before I'm beaten for the fighter I am now"

Think of RJJ, had he retired after Ruiz...

 

Calzaghe is an interesting one, I felt he had slipped drastically since the earlier days of his career in 2001 but was still good enough to defeat the guys he had infront of him.

You could see with Kessler that he had lost a step, he basically beat Kessler by being smarter and an outside boxer, he could no longer dominant Kessler on the inside like he'd been used to doing to anyone else.

 

You're a total ****.

Lewis was younger than Calzaghe and had less fights than Calzaghe upon retirement.

 

Complete ****ing nonsense, 2007 Calzaghe couldn't throw a real punch without breaking his hand, hadn't knocked anyone out since Manfredo. 99 Calzaghe was knocking out people at an 85% rating.

Yeah, he hadn't detoriated at all right?

Let's see, Calzaghe retired having beat the two legitimate threats to him, Hopkins and Kessler.

Lewis retired having promised a rematch to someone who was beating him before a cut stopped the fight.

Don't revise history.

 

Having seen you make statements about Pacquaio, it's easy to see what sort of poster you are.

It's obvious you only know of Calzaghe from the days after Lacy, otherwise you'd realise the guy who stepped into the ring against Woodhall, Reid or Eubank would not have fought his way to a UD against a fighter like Salem.

Any statement you make on Calzaghe is history revisionism because of this, because you saw an impressive performance against Lacy where he seemingly dominated a fighter he was expected to lose against, despite people in that fight stating he didn't look the fighter he once was and that his power had left him.

Lewis retired with very questionable circumstances, he had a fighter he had just fought give him the fight of his life (without him being sloppy in the ring and just not taking the fight seriously)

Calzaghe retired having been knocked down twice in the first round in his last two fights and finding a way to come back and win.

Let's see, who seems more detoriated, a guy who used to take monster punches and keep moving forward like Calzaghe or a guy who was able to fight a 6'8 monster and cut him so badly he couldn't continue.

Don't revise history, you stupid ****.

 

More so just sick of that particular poster and his flooding of any thread involving Mayweather, Klitschko or Calzaghe with negative bull**** while sucking (literally) the **** of Pacquaio in every single thread possible.

PS, you're generally a **** ****ing poster too - get off the addiction to fighters.
