    Can you seriously not see you are all brainwashed ****s, Calzaghe is the greatest SMW of all time, Robinson the WW, who wins the ****ing exceptional SMW or the ****ing exceptional WW -question mark- It is no coincidence the only other clued up person in this thread was from outside the US ****ing A -fullstop- I love you all though, you make winning money on boxing at the bookies so ****ing easy -fullstop- Never change -fullstop-

    ..........making lots of money on bets, eh? :lol: I wonder how you'd bet if this was, say, 1955, and Robinson was still around. As it stands, it's easy to defend a fantasy position. You can never be proven wrong. Truly the sanctuary of the delusional.

    ..........It's called knowing yer boxing, son. :good


    P.S.......the question mark is located next to the "." on the keyboard. I understand you're trying to be dramatic by spelling it out, but you just look like a douchebag, so I thought I'd help you out.

    How can you pick a WW over Joe Calzaghe -question mark- He was nothing more than a great MW, he is ****ed at 168 against a very exceptional SMW -fullstop-

    ............Give me some proof he's ****ed at 168. What criteria do you base this on?


    By the way, apologies for the "douchebag" comment. That was uncalled for on my part.

    Robinson was noticably slower at MW than he had been at WW, he'd maintained some decent power, but it was nothing that would KO someone like Calzaghe -fullstop- SRR was the greatest ever, but he isn't going up to SMW to beat Calzaghe or Roy Jones Jr, size does matter -fullstop- We are talking about someone who was a featherweight amature, WW pro here, they just don't beat a very large and skilled SMW -fullstop- Someone has already suggested workrate is the way to beat Robinson -fullstop- There is so much against Robinson in this matchup I can't see him winning barring hand injuries to Calzaghe -fullstop-

    :lol:

    What are you basing this on? More footage you've seen that does not exsist?


    Hard to say. He's never fought a powerful puncher who was also quick and accurate...Calzaghe's durability is completley unkknown due to his reluctance to tussle at the highest level.


    I don't mean to be rude but history is full of examples of great fighters stepping up and beating good fighters - all Calzaghe has proven himself, though he may actually be better.

    Making a pick of Calzaghe over Robinson is not unreasonable if you do it upon the basis of size.

    But you seem to see Calzaghe as clearly superior.


    That is so far from the truth as to be stupidity.

    It isn't unreasonable I am glad you recognise that, but looking at this thread Calzaghe is a 10 to 1 underdog apparently! We all know that is wrong -fullstop-

    .............So you're saying Robinson was too slow at MW (or 168 for that matter) to get to Calzaghe? Please say yes. Please say yes.

    Yeah, I would agree with that. Though I would make him underdog.

    All things considered, i think placing money on SRR would be sensible.
