Jermain Taylor has a better resume than Joe Calzaghe

Both are better than any active european fighters except maybe the Klits.

 

Wladimir Klitchko
Vitali Klitchko
Lucian Bute
David Haye
Amir Khan

Rank higher than Dirrell ATM

 

Yeah, but those decisions were BOGUS, as was his gift against Wright. And then Taylor fought lighter weight fighters like Ouma and Spinks, and had trouble with them. As soon as he fought prime fighters at his weight, he got exposed. He's the biggest hype job fraud of the last 10 years.

 

Every major elite champion has a better resume than Calzaghe.
Calzaghe's resume looks weak like his buddy, Kessler's.
I think Butterbean's resume is stronger than Calzaghe's.

 

NO! Calzaghe has Taylor beat by a long shot in the area of whose the bigger Hype job. Taylor fought the best in his prime, and while his opponent was in or close to their primes. Except for Hopkins, this is true and he lost to Hopkins as did Joe Calzaghe. Except Calzaghe lost to an older, far less prime version of BHOP. :yep

 

Im not a Calzaghe fan, but Calzaghe himself was something like 36/37 when that Jones fight happened.

Hopkins could not stop him, Hopkins is bigger than Calzaghe to, always was, see the size of Hopkins compared to Calzaghe at the weigh in for that fight? fact is, Hopkins was never a MW, he was a LHW that cut weight to make the division, his debut was at 175 if i recall, although i could be wrong.

Tarver came down from HW and fought like he did not have a pulse.

 

Im not a fan of Joe but his resume is better than Jermain`s.Taylor is a good fighter but he is a level below Joe.

 

the trolling sometimes on this forum is downright embarrassing.

 

Regardless of whether he won all the fights or not, the number of great fighters Taylor faced in their primes far exceeds that of Calzaghe (who's biggest name in their prime was Kessler, FFS), so yes, he does have a btter resume, unquestionably.

 

sick of Calzaghe threads popping up everywhere.

 

He did, against DLH if i recall, but Hopkins is a very disciplined fighter, we know this, ive heard him say how much he respects Joe for making 168 for so many years as he had to come down from 175 and make 160 for years, also, just look at the size of the man, he is 6ft and looked huge for a MW.

Wish i could find the weigh in pics, they were on HBO but i cant find them now, trust me, Hopkins looked a lot bigger than him.



He never fought at HW, i did'nt say that though, he made the Rocky movie so had to put the weight on.

 

:roll:

Beat Hopkins twice.
Did good against Pavlik in the rematch.
Did good against Froch
Valiant effort against Abraham.

Bum? :roll:

why why why...:dead

 

Best Reality Post Award.
Prior to his meeting an old Hopkins and washed up Jones, Calzaghe had meet only B level ex-champions, C level Euro-bums, and a few dudes who worked in a department store underwear section.
Calzaghe wins the biggest hype of the century award.
Actually, he doesn't even deserve that. The award goes to his make-up man, Frank Warren. :yep

 

ive never heard of these divisions. whos the current champ?
