Is Joe Calzaghe An All Time Great?

I can admit it, he beat a faded RJJ who had been KO'd twice 4 yrs ago, and he won a SD against a 43 yr old and you're all excited...:rofl

 

Hahaha... NOPE. BTW, be honest, who are the nationalists here?? I could personally give a **** where a fighter is from. Nationalism is a ****ing disease. Where are you from, fella?

 

Sure he is, he's top 500 ATG............ But anything better than that you're ****ing delusional.

 

Spinks and Holmes are ATGs and they weren't as old or faded as ones Slappy beat. BTW Tyson was shot when he met Lewis.

 

He was one of the best LHWs ever, atleast he didn't hide from real fights.

 

Depends on how you define all-time great.

But the win over Jones was basically just a name on his ledger. Jones is badly faded and has done nothing of note since 2003.

Don't see why people are getting so excited over it. He has other wins more meaningful than this.

 

Just a question, how much has Roy Jones and Bhop hidden in america?

 

For being one of the greatest ever light-heavyweights (a weight class with a rich history). For fighting in one of the best 175 lb. eras ever and going undefeated at that weight, beating guys like Qawi, Eddie Mustafa, Marvin Johnson, and the Davis brothers. For moving up to HW and beating the champ there. For being one of the more versatile and adaptable fighters you'll see.

 

Michael Spinks, not Cory.

 

I think alot of Americans are generally arrogant about everything, frankly. But what alot of people don't understand is that Americans having this "big dog" kind of mentality about everything allows them to take nationalism for what it is - a joke.

 

The best fighters generally fight in America. That is fact, and always has been. Anyone disputing that is simply ignorant or stupid.
