    Sobot had at least been past 6 rds in many of those 14 fights, and JC disposed of him in 3 rds.

    It was a younger Thornberry that Calzaghe faced, who had also regulalry been past 6 rds in the 25 fights he had had up until that point Thornberry also fought Ottke, but didn't get KTFO by him :yep ).

    Mkrtchian had also fought past 12 rds before facing Calzaghe, and JC stopped him in 7.

    There really is no comparison, because another factor is that Nievas seems to get put on his arse in just about every one of his fights. At least Calzaghe's lesser opponents can stay upright.

    so we've gone from name the calibre of opponents JC has fought to how long they lasted in the ring. Ok it looks like Im not going to win this one so I will admit defeat.

    :(

    You said many mate. And Sabot had at least been 12 rounds before, which in my book means he is more suitable as an opponent. He also held the German International Middleweight Title.

    no teke :nono

    The subject was how ordinary Mundine looked against a bum, not how you can try to twist it into something you can spin in Mundine's favour :yep

    The thread starter claimed many of JCs opponents were worse than Nievas. Nievas is a tincan, no question about it. Even the worst of Calzaghe's opponents are leagues above Nievas - you wait and see what Nievas actually goes on to do from here.:hey

    And against the worst of his opponents, Calzaghe fought them appropriately - he stopped them inside the distance.

    No no no Muttley :nono

    I said Nievas was equal to many JC opponents.

    I named a few not many (MSTR) and you turned it into how JC disposed of them with ease forgeting to agree with me :yep that they were ordinary opponents beforehand. But I was a man and admitted defeat.

    My reply to the opponents you named was to point out how they were better than Nievas, because they had more experience than him, had more ringtime, had gone further in rounds.

    And the second part of my reasoning was that Calzaghe disposed of them in appropriate fashion.

    Mundine couldn't put away a fighter ranked 45th in the world who had never been past 6 rds before, and who had been dropped multiple times by previous opponents.

    Put another way, how many top ranked SMWs could a fighter who had never fought past 6 rds last 12 rds with?

    There's your differences between Nievas and the 3 Calzaghe opponents you named :yep
