No sane person can dismiss my claim that Joe Calzaghe is the best boxer of all time..

Joe would get more respect on here if you didn't present him as the Jesus of boxing

 

While Robinson was 35+, he was busy KOing and beating the likes of Basilio, Olson and Fullmer..

Archie moore, the likes of Harold Johnson and Joey Maxim... hell, he won the LHW title when he was over 38!

Duran beat Barkley when he was 38...


Ehh you get the idea.

 

:good

 

35? Kessler? seriously, as has been presented above there are significantly greater achievements done by fighters who were older, more active and who spent their primes in greater wars than calzaghe. I'm a fan, I think he's a tremendous fighter but this thread is an insult and basing a man's legacy around two fights (one which he hasn't even won yet!).

 

No way on gods green earth that clazaghe is the best boxer of all time,its very debateable if hes even the best british boxer of all time....Heck is he even the best boxer in the world today?
I like joe and believe he is a great boxer with lots of heart and talent,but even if he COMPLETELY and utterly 'lacys' kessler it still wont get him to no1 spot of all time,or even close....For one simple reason (among others) alone,not enough fights against true atgs.......
Rmember hopkins,moore,foreman and jersey joe all won championships and had great performances well past the 35 age mark...
Your logic is more fragile than china joes' hands.....

 

If he beats Kessler - I will join in with your claims, CHJ. Maybe with the modification - Greatest fighter of all time.

 

None of them has met a prime elite, when they hit 35...

 

Hahaha. Calzaghe would crush Robinson? I would hope so, a natural 168lber should crush a natural 147lber. Though, Robinson would really take it to him. He beat better fighters than Calzaghe. :good

But I won't rain on your little love fest.

 

Obviously your the only sane man in a world gone entirely INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fire :fire :fire

 

Hopkins beat trinidad at past 35 and trinidad is a more proven fighter than kessler,ditto duran over barkley,robinson over fullmer,walcott over charles....Kessler maybe prime but how is he elite? How about toney beating prime jirov 30 pounds over his first world title victory when past 30? Moore when about 40 beating yvon durelle? How about jones beating ruiz at HEAVY and beating a guy who weighed 65 pounds above jones original title weight of 160? Lennox at 37 over prime vitali? There are probably many more examples,and as i think of them i will let you know.... You cant even make a case for joe for being in the top ten of all time,no way......
Is he even the best supermiddle of all time? Ask mister jones......
ps; if he is not undisputedly the best fighter in the world currently then how can he be the best ever?
Bear in mind i assume you think floyd is the main one who could be classed as better than joe currently,and floyd is probably past prime,definately past his prime weight divisions.....So floyd could pip calzaghe to the no1 spot hey? (by the way im only being kind of sarcastic here,no way floyd or calzaghe are anywhere near close to even the top ten all time.)

 

If he does beat Kessler, even if he only just scrapes by, I will be a believer. I think both guys have a lot to prove.
