    Well, I can see this is going nowhere. I'll give Calzaghe credit though. He's the greatest WBO paper champ of all time.

    I agree (only the 'heavyweight' one, though :p).

    Im english and dont have yankee biast but I tell you I read the whole of that greatest fighter of the last 25 yrs (and the guy was implying 25 yrs not 2.5 years as someone mentioned earlier) and people were saying he ranked up there with sugar ray robinson no if that isnt overrating him then what is sugar ray achieved 5 times what calzaghe did in his whole carrer between 1950-52 at middleweight 31wins 1loss 21 kos redemmed his loss via ko and fought 15 well known very good fighters in this span calzaghe has fought lacy kessler and an over the hill hopkins (who would of clearly beat him in his prime) calzaghe by far the most overrated and sadly by my own countrymen who dont have a clue about boxing

    and yet you offer no argument to oppose it...

    put your balls on the line or accept the truth.

    Manny Pacquiao is the most overrated fighter on the General Forum. The guy is a great fighter, but beating David Diaz does not all of a sudden make it plausible for a man of Manny's size and skill to take on the 147lb division. Any top 10 Welterweight would defeat Manny and in devastating fashion. In addition to that, I think he beat a shot Barrera and Morales, aswell as losing to Marquez twice. With all of that in mind, I don't hold Manny Pacquiao in high regard, and I personally feel he is one of the weaker P4P champions in recent years.

    thats a bias point of view and because you don't say your preferences too says a lot about what you dont want to reveal about your point of view....
