Is Joe Calzaghe The Greatest British Fighter Of All Time?

Best I've seen

 

Are you 12 :rofl

You asked a question, you got your answer's. I don't think you liked most of them did you?
If you had posted this thread in the classic you would've probably commit suicide by now.

Listen everybody know's Joe's a great fighter. He's just not the Greatest Brit. Boxing's an ancient sport. He's a top 3 post war British great, and top 15 all time British great. Maybe just cracking the top ten if your kind. He's not an ATG though.

 

well those 3 aren't ^^^^^^ ....Conteh, Hamed, Eubank

no you are the joke, as you are a nobody and a hater
To have that level of hate their must be an agenda, surprisingly most of the agendas on here seem to racial...

it means a lot actually considering they are very selective with who they put in they haven't let Oscar De La Hoya buy it out yet like the ring magazine :yep

 

you sound like a bitter old man with an agenda to have that level of hate, what race/nationality are you? you won't answer that I bet.....

Calzaghe has 35 % of the vote so..... it shows many people think he is the greatest ever.. I think I'd rather go off someone like Barry Mcguigan's opinion than some anonymous weirdo on a forum :rofl

 

It's going back about 100 years but Ted 'Kid' Lewis was probably the greatest British fighter.
Bob Fitzsimmons, if you include him as a Brit (he left this island for down under when he was a young boy - and never returned).

Jack 'Kid' Berg was another great fighter. Beat the great Kid Chocolate.

 

Ken Buchanan
Ted Kid Lewis
Joe Calzaghe
Jimmy Wilde
Bob Fitzsimmons

that's the top 5 right there

 

Yes, those guy's are not greater than Joe and not in the hall either. Never noticed that post. I do know there's very knowledgeable posters that rate Conteh better than Calzaghe H2H though.

Where's the hate from me towards Calzaghe?

I wonder what poster you really are, troll. Your probably a traffic generating mod troll :hi:

 

I'm a pasty white Scot :yep Love my Celtic boxers :deal Mostly Welsh boxers :deal I just know enough about history to know that Calzaghe is not even the greatest Welsh fighter never mind British :deal

Barry Mcguigan :rofl Barry Mcguigan the encyclopedia of boxing history :roll:

Is there still an agenda :hi:

 

Oh dear.

 

Another alt account I see.

 

McGuigan's an idiot.

 

Owen Moran crossing the Atlantic to knock out Battling Nelson was more impressive.

What does make him lesser is that he chose a shot to pieces RJJ when undefeated Dawson and Pavlik were both calling him out and both would have enhanced his legacy a lot more that RJJ did.

 

That doesn't make him lesser it was just a retirement fund fight. Yeah the Pavlik fight would have added to his legacy and in a way it did when Hopkins schooled him.
The Dawson fight wouldn't have sold in the states as Dawson's not got a fan base and Joe was only after one last big money fight at that stage and who can blame him, so that's were Roy Jones came in. Calzaghe didn't owe anybody nothing.
