Joe Calzaghe:Undefeated,over twenty title defenses of his WBO belt.Has beaten 8 former world champions.He also has beaten two American legends in BHOP and soon to be Jones.He would destroy Pavlik like he did to the Dane but it would be more one sided than Lacy. now we all know thats a joke...joke-cal-slappy that is, & we all know he dont beat Hopkins & we not 2 sure he can beat Jones...

Mikkel Kessler, Wladimir & Vitali Klitschko, Felix Sturm, Ricky Hatton etc to name a few. Rafael Marquez. He just doesn't receive the exposure that he deserves just because he fights down at the lower weights. Only the true boxing fans even know who he is, but believe me with this guys talent everybody who even remotely likes the sport should know him for the truly great boxer that he is. agreed Raf is underated!

Bernard Hopkins really doesn't get the respect he deserves. You think? I'd say he rightfully gets a ton of respect for what he achieved at MW and then moving up to LHW to win the title, but I agree that right now, he doesn't. These days everyone is quick to say, "old-man Borehard should just retire" but the reality is he's still competitive with the best and his stamina isn't actually that bad, I mean Taylor and Judah gas by R6 at the latest! To be doing what he is at 43 at such a high level must make him one of the most longlived fighters of all time. Others have fought into their forties before, but few have remained as competitive as Bernard.

Winky Wright! He is capable of beating the best fighters at 147-160 and in my opinion he'd beat Pavlik. Winky Wright is that damn good and people don't see that. Agreed one of the most underated p4p boxers in the world today. What a defence he has

If you can't see what is in front of your eyes than the only ignorant one is you.I never condoned what Toney said and he is what Eubank called him{ignorant},but to deny that Bank wasn't effected by the comment emotionally is foolish. To pollute what was a good thread with childish discussions about which boxer 'pwned' the other in a three minute interview over a shitty satellite link up on a TV chat show, AND to make a thread about it just for good measure is foolish.

Winky Wright is one of the most overrated fighters of this era. Why would you say beat welterweights? Thats the problem with winky, you think he can beat Pavlik but wont get in the ring with him. His best "fights" are fantasy matchups. Hes fought a few good names and lost to most of them. His biggest wins are over a very outsized Shane Mosley.

This thread isn't called 'Fighters who get more respect than they deserve'. Calzaghe has ONE really good win and thats over Kessler. He has 0 great wins. He is overrated. He might as well have 100 title defenses cuz it doesn't matter how many defenses he has, what matters is who he defended against. Coming from a Roy Jones fan. lol Oh the irony.

I think you might be the dunce if you can't see what is happening in that video.Check from six minutes on and watch his eyes water and his words tremble as if he is about to cry.Either your blind or dumb,maybe a combination of both.Listen to his own words"I can't take that kind of stuff" I guess ignorance breeds further ignorance.

Its funny because I would have said that Hatton was one of the most overrated guys going around at the moment. Who is even rating him at the moment?

Almost cried? How do you figure that? He waited till the end of the interview and said "Its quite clear that you're utterly ignorant" cutting Toney off in the process. :owned: To answer the thread, I'd say Hatton. Hes made it a long way with limited technical and physical attributes. His win over Tszyu was terrific. Still gets pissed in between fights and wins. Lost the only fight of his career away from home against the P4P King with a dodgy ref and people act like he's a bum. Its funny because I would have said that Hatton was one of the most overrated guys going around at the moment.

Check the interview out if you don't believe me.He was about to break down and cry because of a weak yo'moma joke.Imagine if Eubank had to deal with a presser with Toney.He wouldn't make it to the ring. Ive seen the interview........thats why I was able to quote from it.:dunce: Yeah totally, almost crying because he didnt react to a lame yo momma joke. :dunce:

I would of gave Eubank the win if he didn't almost cry.I loved his accent,he reminded of one of those African safari hunters.He seems very sensitive and with Tony as a possible opponent thats the last thing you want to be. Almost cried? How do you figure that? He waited till the end of the interview and said "Its quite clear that you're utterly ignorant" cutting Toney off in the process. :owned: To answer the thread, I'd say Hatton.

How am I consumed with hatred? I just said they were trash, I dont hate them. The only thing funny about Eubank was how he reacted like a pussy when Lights Out said something about his "mum" "I can't take this" like he was about to cry, what a bitch. :bottle: Eubank owned Toney in that interview. Yo momma jokes are the lowest form of wit.

Benn stopped him in 1, before Toney fought him! Trash indeed!
