    Calzaghe and Mayweather are both better than Robinson. You also have strong case for Floyd. But the closed mind persons who have never seen welterweight Robinson will insist he is better. Brainwashed the lot of them.



    It is ironic.

    I am the most enlightened of all boxing fans, yet this is what causes me to be percieved as wrong, ridiculous and delusional.


    It doesn't really bother someone of my intellect whether a load of brainwashed, American boxing fans are aware that Joe Calzaghe is the best boxer in history. I do feel a moral obligation to at least try and help you all though. Perhaps I should simply label you all as lost causes and leave you to blissfully drown in pools of your own ignoance. If I can just save one or two of you though, it is all worthwhile.

    If I toned down my boxing insight, to a simpler, more American level then I would be more appreciated.

    I am like Charles Darwin surrounded by hardcore christians. I am ahead of my time, ahead of your time.



    Yes, America has produced generally more great boxers. But Wales the one best, who has humiliated every American with the bravery/stupidy to face him.

    Nobody can blame Hopkins for ducking him. Hopkins wouldn't be an ATG if he'd faced Calzaghe back in 2001.


    If you hadn't noticed America hardly have an abundance of RING champions even right now. And one they do have, Hopkins is fraudelnt and would lose to any decent LHW he ever faces.

    Calzaghe was knocked down and was crap against kabery salem,who took him the distance.....At least henry cooper was better than old kabery hey joe,and ali stopped cooper twice What has old 'kabbie' salem achieved since chinaman?
    And what about starrie,ashira and sakio,they all lasted the distance but wont be on anyones great boxer lists and they will never probably be champs either.....(and some of them were blown up middles really,manfredo anyone?.)

    Calzaghe would have most CERTAINLY beaten SRR at 168lbs.

    SRL admits himself in his own book that Joe Calzaghe is the best fighter in the world today, and when him and Michael J Fox watched the Jeff Lacy fight Fox asked him who would have won if they fought and SRL said he wouldnt like to say.

    Even Floyd Mayweather has said on more than one occasion before that he rates Calzaghe as one of the handful of fighters who he thinks is World Class, saying he has the best adaptability in boxing.

    If Calzaghe was American he would have been PvP1 for years.

    This thread is an absolute joke.

    Please, if you're going to call a shutout of the almighty JEFF LACY reason for P4P all-time superiority, then you're an idiot.

    Calzaghe hasn't even beaten Kessler - and even if he does, he won't win wider than 8-4.

    What is the actual case for Robinson?

    Jones I can see...but what ATG did Robinson actually look Calzaghe-like against?

    No, he accepted 3 million $ in principal. Then doubled his demands (to 6 million) and fought for less than 1 million. Hopkins was not massive back then.

    Like he smashed Jermain Taylor who is a lot less active than Joe?
    Or like he did to the small target in Tito? B-hops fans have been riding on this win for a long time, how he beat Tito the "natural Middleweight :rofl"
    I ain't bashing on B-hops, but I am bashing on you, get your facts right, Calzaghe is an active fighter for the full twelve rounds, throwing non stop...
    The only one Hopkins "smashed" was small fighters in Tito and DLH.
    And for the record, both these guys don't belong in the middlweight division, period. Joe has traded with big supermiddleweights. When Hopkins fought the normal-size middleweight in Jermain Taylor, he lost two pretty clear UD's.

    Taylor showed everyone a formula to beat Hopkins, be active, and that's what Joe has been good at, his fast hands and his workrate has kept him in the business for over a decade.. I highly doubt that Hopkins would smash him.

    ATG and best are very different.

    In a pure H2H P4P situation Calzaghe has to be rated as one of the best ever. I wouldn't suggest for a second he is the greatest ever.
