    Joe Calazghe for me, think If he fought RJJ in his prime Roy would of destroyed him tbh.
    Naseem hamed for me aswell, probs get abit of stick for this as he beat some pretty decent fighters but he was way over hyped, soon as he got in with someone real world class (Barrera) he got his arse tanned!

    I always thought Ali.

    very good, but not as legendary as people tout him to be.

    Calzaghe? most over inflated in the history of boxing?

    I think the amount of haters Joe has, proves that his legacy isnt inflated at all...

    HOF talent for sure.

    his resume is the resume of a commonwealth champion at best but sure that doesn't disclude him from HOF for most title defences, even if most of those fights were national level.

    Why do absolute dolts like yourself attempt to reference/cite fights that you've clearly never seen? Do you not expect to get called out on your own blatant ignorance?



    F*cking Chuvalo having any sort of argument of winning.:patsch

    Hatton,Froch and Calslappy are prime examples of over inflated ego's who couldn't back it up in the ring.
    Frauds all.
