    Yes, you're correct. A really compelling argument has been put forth proving that Joe Calzaghe slayed monster after monster during his long and illustrious career. We also now know that Andre Ward would get demolished by Joe Calzaghe because the Blonde Batman told us so. Your analysis was insightful and brilliant. It all seemed to come down to the fact that Ward would find it difficult to land his headbutt.

    What can I say. You're a marvel of modern science. A real genius. :good

    Where's your top 25 p4p list I asked you for on the 'is Floyd top 10' thread where you claimed that both Floyd and Calzaghe are top 25 fighters

    Floyds is more skilled then calzaghe, but calzaghes resume is slightly better. What atg has floyd fought that wasn't old and didn't retire a year later? Steroid mosley? Old oscar who he admitted himself was done? Jmm where floyd coudnt even make weight on a catch jmm never been on? Sucker punch gatti and/or ortiz? Calzaghe fought a bunch of old out of prime atg as well, but hopkins is now a champ. That's one on floyd right there. He's undeafted as well and higher KO rate then floyd. So calzaghe is one rank better then floyd.if floyd beats martinez and or pac he will beat calzaghe. People are just hatin on calzaghe cause he's not american and white. Heck I don't even like calzaghe, but his resume speaks for itself at least compared to floyds.

    That's exactly why I need an explanation.

    I posted a top 30, and there was another 10-15 fighters I could name above Floyd

    No explanation could hope to be good enough. Just let it go. The Blonde Batman probably has Vitali Klitschko among his top 25. ...And no, I'm not kidding.

    CALSLAPPY, can only be mentioned in the the same breath with PBF right now because he is the GOAT at SMW, but once Ward/Froch/Bute finish up he will soon be eclipsed.

    PBF>>>>>>Joe calslappy

    P4P...

    Who else has 20+ title fights, 0 losses, undisputed in at two or more weight classes, never had a NC, never had a draw, never really got a robbery (Floyd and Castillo, not really a robbery, Calzaghe and Hopkins, you have to really hate Calzaghe to give it to Hopkins)

    Achievements, they're there.
    Stylistically on who they beat, they're there.

    So, you can name your Roberto Durans and your Thomas Hearns but ultimately? Those guys did not achieve at the same level as either of these fighters in a P4P sense. In a nostalgia sense? Sure.

    I'd say Floyd and by a wide margin too, Floyd just has done way more in the game than Calzaghe for them to be even compared imo.

    33 people need to get banned.

    Floyd's victory over Corrales is greater than anything Slappy achieved.
    Floyd's victory over Mosley is better than Slappy's over RJJ
    Floyd's win over Ortiz is on par with Slappy's over Lacy

    Oh yeah, and I can't stand Floyd.
