Who's the better defensive fighter?

I am far less confident than they are.

 

Kesslers game is" the noble art of self defence"
Calzaghe is more like a fight in the pub, no offence but i go for Kessler and the noble art of self defence, called boxing!

 

This is ludicrous. Calzaghe couldn't hold a candle to either Pep or Whittaker, and the mere mention of his name is a slap in the face to both of these HOFer's. Calzaghe may be a very good defensive fighters, but he is not legendary.

 

Pep is legendary partly for his skill, but mainly because he fought in the 40s.

Whitaker is legendary because he is more defensively skilled than Calzaghe and Pep.

China_Handjob_Joe is at it again...

 

I might have to agree with that.

 

please pull Calzaghe's 3rd leg out of your mouth...

 

I would realy like to see that round if the story is true.

 

Go and ask the same question in the classic forum. The knowledgable posters their will dismiss that clip.

Do it right now, or dig up one of the old threads on it.

 

I think this was on an episode of Myth Busters.

 

Bert Sugar and others spread the myth (about Pep winning a round without throwing a punch) as a bit of a joke, something that will enchance their hero's reputation -fullstop-
