If Calzaghe was American he'd be #1PvP

youre probably right there m8

 

Explain to me why Calzaghe should be rated ahead of Mayweather? As a matter of fact since you said "for years", tell me why Calzaghe should've been rated ahead of RJJ?

 

fair argument.

 

He'd have a good chance, had he been from the US he would have probably got the big fights, outside of RJJ i think he'd have a decent chance of beating everyone else.

 

Calzaghe became P4P number one, probably around 2000 or 2001. Top 10 after beating Eubanks.

 

Epics wins against the class of Bika and Manfredo really cemented that status.

 

No, his competition has been ****.

 

Never unified, held the least reputable of the four belts, and didn't fight many top-flight opponents. If he was American, he might have been rated higher, but there's no way he'd be P4P #1.

 

If Calzaghe was American all you would hear about is how his division is total crap. At least that's what most boxing writers would wail about.

 

Like most Calzaghe posts, this one is a joke.

 

His competition wasn't worse than competition of other P4P fighters.
The problem is that the homemade bums from England are less known
to US public than homemade bums from New Jersey or Ohio.

That is the common opinion in US Calzaghe faced unknown bums only
but Maywether, Taylor, Winky, etc. fought only ellite fighters the entire career.

 

What the hell is wrong with ya'll?

Of COURSE HE'D be #1.

Did you see what he did to Manfredo and Bika?

Those 2 were BADASSES on the CONTENDOR.

BADASSES

 

Everytime someone tries to rubbish Calzaghe, it's always "ok, he beat a green Lacy, struggled against Bika and took an easy fight against Manfredo"... always those fights - the only fights the Yanks have tuned into.

It's a shame the USA of America wasn't clever enough to get him when he was younger - they would have been treated to some amazing fights.

 

True. Now, for some strange reason, 168 is the best division ever! I can see through that crap.
