isnt he undefeated. hes been around forever i think hes neverr got quite the praise he deserves for some of his wins
Most are split 50-50 on Reid-Calzaghe, just like most are split on ancient BHOPs-JC, Joe didnt want a rematch with either and Reid was pretty below average. Its hard to rate JCs prime, his competition until 2006 was abysmal, probably 3 top 10 rated fighters in the whole time. Thats top10 at 168 not P4P
Dariuz is as straight up and convention belt as they come. He had a chin. Great. Calzaghe can actually box, so if he were to lose, it would be a huge upset.
Nar i'm not convinced by him, don't you dare put him in the 'wins that get no credit' thread or we'll fall out.
Most are 50/50 on Clazaghe and Reid? Who are the " most people " you are referring to? Clazaghe won that fight. You thought Hopkins beat Clazaghe, correct? Sometimes you produce odd scorecards, Power Puncher. Hopkins can not be considered shot for the Calzaghe fight, because he put on a top performance vs Pavlik coming off the loss. Therefore, the Clazgahe win over Hopkins means something. While I agree Clazaghe's resume lacks top opponents early on. Yet he did prove he was the best in his division for many years. Calzaghe made 20+ title defenses, and retired un-defeated with wins over Kessler, Hopkins, Lacy, and Jones.
Firstly you havent seen Calzaghe-Reid as it wasnt shown in the US, most Brit fans are divided on the fight, Reid couldn't miss the right all night long and the crowd boo'ed the decision. Many Brit fans wanted JF-Reid 2, and then many wanted JC-Woods, then JC-Froch, none happened, JC is the sort of fight who worried about his zero too much even though he should have schooled all 3 of these fighters. Hopkins wasnt shot v Calzaghe but Hopkins was 15years past his physical prime (although he technically got better after that) Calzaghe is indeed a great with many question marks over his head
Clazaghe vs Reid is on you tube. I have seen it. Calzahge won the fight. It was an off night for Joe, but he won more rounds, thus won the decsion. Woods would be no match for Clazaghe.
He cant touch JC for speed & skills & JCs chin without doubt holds up, no way I see the slow overrated Michalzewyyykkkzzzziiii winning this, he gets outpointed at least 8-4.
Lets not go down this road again.... Jones likely outpoints JC & JC-Hop could go either way, I favour the faster Calzaghe myself.
They all know it but your wasting your time, half of these ****s point blank refuse to admit Calzaghe is a great fighter for one reason.... HE RETIRED UNDEFEATED. They never got a chance to see him lose despite the fact he retired at 36/37 (quite old for the majority of fighters) It kills them because he came over to America & beat 2 of their generations absolute best fighters, they boil with rage = :twisted: because he got out at the right time unlike so many others. Hopkins & Jones fans will always hold a grudge & that **** makes me sleep good, real good because there`s **** all they can do about it. 46-0 = a hard pill to swallow
i think hes underated look at his wins there amazing, then look at his longevity its truly astonishing. A very overlooked fighter possibly P4P 1 It was a very close fight i had Calzaghe by 1. Although my brother had it 1 to Reid, it was a very close fight. Reid landed his straigth right cleanly but Calzaghe was landing so many shots it was a tough fight to score i thought a Draw or a JC win would have been fair. It was a JC off-night IMO Yeh Jeff Fenech vs Robin Reid was wanted here. :good It was booed and it probably did deserve a rematch but Calzaghe did say 'They didnt want a piece of me when they was champ but now im champ everyone wants a piece of me (meaning the British world champs in Woodhall and Reid)' So Reid probably deserved not getting a rematch
1. Which wins exactly do you rank as 'Amazing'? 2. Exactly very close could have gone either way 3. Calzaghe also said 'I'd never fight Roy Jones, hes shot', Reid would have fought Calzaghe when champ if the offer was good but he certainly warranted a rematch and Calzaghe fought far worse opposition after this fight
