You think Khan is better? Showing yourself up if so, he's not even as fast. Khan has already been down as many times as Calzaghe was in his entire career. He lost 6 rounds to Maidana. If he had been deducted a point for his head butt at the end of rd 6 (which was at least as bad as Maidana's offence) it would have been a draw. He's been KO'd by a journey man. As for Lewis he was a fantastic fighter but Calzaghe was better p4p imo due to the fact he never got KO'd by poor quality fighters. Pacquiao and Mayweather rate higher no dought.
:huh He had not long turned 43... that's not what i would class as LATE 40's. Previous to that fight he ran Taylor very close twice and beat Tarver and Winky. Prior to their fight he beat pavlik and gave Pascal a very good fight... don't try and make out like B-Hop couldn't fight anymore because he was past 40
Calzaghe was by far the most talked about fighter on ESB for about 2-3 years. That says a lot considering he doesn't do loads of interveiws and crave the lime light. I honestly think a lot of people hate him because he does not play the tough guy role outside the ring and he was unbeaten because people always want to see someone lose their 0. RJJ was better prime for prime, not much but his punches carried more pop and he was physically stronger. He beat Hopkins inbetween two some of his best performances. Hopkins has never looked better than he did in the Tarver/Pavlik fights.
He'd go close to top 5, definately top 10. For sure the greatest white anglo boxer in the last 20 years. Anyway, all that matters is that he was voted 3rd greatest fighter of the decade 2000-2010 by the BWAA ahead of that racist bitter snaggle tooth Hopkins
ok what was shot about kessler? he wasnt added to the super 6 roster for being shot. he was a world champ and far from shot jeff lacy at the time was having his dick sucked by all you american sports writters it was joe calzaghe who exposed him to you all!! roy jones.......ok he was not as fast so you can say he was shot but still world class!! and the worst one of all.... I am sorry but you cant have it both ways a Shot bernard hopkins? who after losing to calzaghe beat kelly pavlik,and drew with jean pascal? only a year before he fought calzaghe had beat winky right. nothing shot about him. just wanted to point out the bull**** in your hate. old boy popkins may be old but shot i dont think so. what you all are also forgetting is that joe calzaghe was one of the most avoided fighters at super middle to say he wasnt is just lies. he offered fights to hopkins,winky,tarver all of whom were not interested at that time(hopkins later agreed terms). representations were made to the parties mentioned and none of them wanted joe for whatever reason this is a matter of fact check google,frank warren or even esb.
lol that was a good video, knockout artist he wasnt but he did put a few fighters on there arses with good timing
Exactly jamesiboi, people forget how often Calzaghe was ducked by a lot of fighters including Ottke. Ali was probaly better in his day than Foreman.
Wow that incredible!. If if everything you write is taken as gospel Joe had three or for great wins in his career. Sergio Martinez has already equaled that, is he an all time great? Personally I don't think Sergio is a top 20 middleweight all time but he is definitely the best MW now. Show some ****ing standards.
Eveyone ducked Calzaghe lol. Nice to see the Frank Warren spin machine has managed to fool people for all these years.
Did i compare Sergio martinez with joe Calzaghe?did i say calzaghe was an all time great? No so what's your point? personaly i feel many fighters took a harder route than Calzaghe but i stand by my original statment. so comment on the post and stop deviating to make it appear as though you had a valid rebuttal. as for frank warren spin machine comment i was a boxing fan a decade ago unlike most of you and i also sourced my information before i formed an opinion. representations were confirmed at the time if thats bull**** show me proof. no gospel here just an opinion thats credible. I also rate martinez as the best super middleweight at present. why because he has "similar qualities" that helped calzaghe,pacman,donaire all become successful speed and/or power with proper footwork/ lateral movment he also has something else in common with a lot of these guys he is avoided..or is he not????
