    no it wasnt, once asain to you people out their that no nothing about boxing and simply judge it based on wins and losses, styles make fights, so you cant judge a fighter based on how dominant another fighter looked against a common opponenet. Seccondly the same 43 yr old whom he beat put on the best performance of his career 6 months after calzaghe beat him against pavlik ( bhop looked better than ever in that fight) so bhop was not pas it by any means when they fought.

    Joe ruined the boxing careers of 2 very good young champs at 168. Kessler and lacy. They were both undefeated and favored to beat him. Too bad he tapped that ass, and after that their career went to ****... People say joe dont hit that hard but he ruins fighters cuz he knocks their screws loose. :yep

    Joe da destroya :hey

    King Abraham would murder Joe, I am sorry.... those Pitter patter shots would bounce off his arms and he would land on Joe and put him down just like the old men did... except when AA puts someone down, he finishes them.

    AA would land about as much as Lacy did.
    No chance whatsoever.

    overrated to a degree. he's more overrated than his mediocre reign at supermiddleweight. hopkins is the only legit fighter he faced and was granted a split decision that even he knew he didn't deserve, which is why the coward couldn't give hopkins a rematch. at least taylor had the balls to show he could do it again. calzaghe's a ***** when comparing him to truly greatness. but he's great when comparing him to average.

    I think Calzaghe is definetly a good fighter but as with hatton very protected Calzaghe only really stepped up the competition in the last two years of his career.

    Abraham is much too explosive and a great combination puncher not to land on Joe... Joe does not have the power to stop AA or to even slow him down..

    Lacy is complete **** and always was.... just a hypejob.

    Abraham is strong but one dimesional. You don`t beat JC by being one dimensional.
