Ivan Calderon - Brit forum opinion...

Quality fighter. Segura will cement him at the high end of the P4P.

Quality technician, so much that he's not hampered by his lack of pop.

 

if he beats Segura he goes in any knowledgable fans top 10.

 

Not at all mate i love watching Calderon, one of the best pure boxers in the sport especially when you consider how much he gives away in physicality. He is on a downward spiral though and he'll lose in the near future. Whether Segura's that man i guess we'll find out at the end of August

 

wonder if primetime will pick this up

 

Love watching him as well, Lee. I have been continually frustrated with his love of mandatory fights and he has also shown signs that he is fading in the last year or so, but I am still really looking forward to the fight with Segura next month. Cannot wait for that one:bbb. I think it would be better for the division if Segura wins and, as a fan of his as well, I wouldn't be too bothered if Calderon lost. Retiring with the '0' intact has never meant that much to me anyway; I'll always remember Calderon as one of most gifted fighters from the generation of fight fans that I belong to.

 

jsut got an email from them there showing a liverpool game.

dont think they will compete with toney vs cotoure.

 

yea saw that in the sun, £4.99........No Thanks

 

If Iron Boy survives the first four he'll make Segura look a ****.

 

scousers will pay £50 to see Paul Smith vs McDermott....they will pay this.

 

:yep

(i did go smith dodson tho)

 

Top class operator IMO.

 

A very good technician, one of the best pure boxers in the sport IMO, just somewhat hampered by his lack of power.

 

I wouldn't. Simply does not have the competition required to be a top 5 fighter.

 

Generally I don't like highly technical guys, particularily those with little knockout power, but I find Calderon quite enjoyable to watch. His skills are supurb, maybe his fights are a bit more enjoyable in the last couple of years as he's slowed down a touch and the other guy gets more chance to hit him now. Unfortunately for him he's a midget so he'll never get any serious acclaim.
