Is calzaghe one of the real greats?

I think he acieved all he was capable of.

 

No!!!!!!

 

lol depends on what side of the atlantic you are from

 

haha, true. and no. with his amount of talent, it's a miracle he achieved what he did. he's not an all time great...maybe an all time good

 

I never thought about it like that, he did have enzo is his corner and still won a couple of fights, pretty good but no.

 

He was was just lucky..........over 46 fights and 15 years.

 

No.... and he has never been a mutliweight champ

 

No he's not... he leaves undeafeated but that does not impress.
Who has he beaten? Untested Lacy, untested Kessler, old Hopkins (slightly) old Jones Jr. Some may say that he shouldn't be blamed for his opposition but what about Dawson? That was the most dangerous guy in the LHW that time and he didn't fight him. If he had beaten Dawson I would'vs said that he's the real great.

 

He was a decent fighter but not a great one.Only the win over Kessler is really impresive.He got a few lucky desicions go his way,and some of his opposition was awful Pudwill and Manfreado being about the worst.He struggled against the very best fighters and his fights were usually tedious 12 round affairs.He was in one of the worst fights i ever saw against Starrie.Calzaghe is a lot like Sven Ottke,a decent but boring boxer.

 

I dont really know, but on the other hand, why should he not be! Guess it depends on who you ask

 

I can't Believe people are taking this post seriously.


:nut :rofl

 

No

 

Boring? Really?...
I can understand people not giving him credit, not liking him as a human being, etc...but boring? The man threw TONS of punches, was incredibly fast, and somewhat flashy (a lame roy jones lol). Early in his career he actually had power. The only boring fight was Hopkins, and has Hopkins fights ever been exciting? There 10x more exciting outside the ring than inside.
