    Naz is not a fraud he just did not have the ability to redefine his style once his reflexes slowed down and got worse as he got older like RJJ.

    Sven Ottke. He fought some decent fighters but should have at least a couple defeats on his record. Was a massive fraud for his blatant biased judging.

    Also Gavin Rees didn't even fight a decent fighter his whole career then got a world title shot. Fair play to him for winning it but he should have never been near that standard.

    Not hard when you cherry pick. I'm surprised it took this long for a nut hugger to come around

    I guess that explains why Arum won't let Pac fight him.

    i agree with your Calzaghe opinion, yes he's talented for sure. But people have him in their top 50 ATG, that is just unacceptable.

    I was talking about VITLAY, not WALDO. VITLAY has faced **** competition and is being compared to ATG heavies by his fans purely due to bull**** statistics. The guy has only really fought 2 decent fighters his whole career and lost to them both yet some people on here think he's the head to head best heavyweight ever :nut:rofl

    His best wins are over a green Jeannette (who even got a win over him too) and an old Jefferies coming out of retirement, getting KTFO by Willard doesnt help his legacy either.

    Eh I sorta agree, I don't really follow british boxing;but Calzaghe proved himself to me when he beat Hopkins and RJJ. Yes, his form is ugly and he does seem to slap a bit. But the fact it, those were the two top guys and he beat them both

    Nah wasn't being serious. I do wonder what effect the illegal wrapping had though. How would it add to a fighters power.
