    You only like him because he's white. I would love to see my man Qawi tear him a new A-hole!:beer-toast1:

    My pick for the most underrated, or at least underappreciated champion/titelest in history, is Horacio Accavallo.

    On a scale balancing quality of record vs how high profile and highly rated they are today, I feel Accavallo, along with many others, have a better argument here than Calzaghe, who incidentally, I was a big fan of.

    Not sure if this is just pretty regular banter / friendly between you two but if not let’s keep race out of it and not make it weird - if this is some inside joke I’m not in on, don’t mind me then (Qawi definitely beats the breaks off JC sincerely a white guy lol)

    An underrated champion IMO or maybe better called unmentioned? Juan Carlos Gomez he did a solid job at 190lbs and Fabrice Tiozzo is another “solid” champion I’d like to mention if only just to get there names out there. :thumbsup:

    Leaving race out of the equation as any rational mind would do, he's right

    If Calzaghe were to face the doom of fighting Qawi he'd do... Good lord... He'd... Jesus

    Qwai was not in his division so why make the comparison?
