Honestly who's more overated??
One has beat one big name and avoids his biggest payday because he thinks he's a superstar..
The other beat a few average fighters and beat 2 older guys well past there prime to cement his own legacy in his head..
everyone acts like hopkins is such a great fighter but he loses to calzaghe and he's old and washed up.when was hopkins prime?it wasn't when he was losing to jones so was it when he was beating overblown welterweights?
calzaghe would of always beat hopkins if anything hopkins seems to be a better fighter now than when he fought roy jones
this is a clear answer.
Calzaghe.
why?
his best wins are Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins, RJJ.
Hopkins and Roy are not what they were several years ago. A prime Hopkins and RJJ smokes even a prime Joe. Lacy was a good win cause he unified a title and was highly regarded. but we then see Lacy wasnt really all that good . IMO Kessler was his best win, young, skilled and became the man at 168. 4 good wins in a 46-0 record - OVERRATED. he almost lost to a 43 year old who knocked him down. 4-5 notable wins in 46 fights where your undefeated is truely bum status. ATG, never.
Margarito has actually fought prime champions.
:lol1: it's split right down the middle!
to be honest, the Margo fans can be annoying but they don't over rate him as much as the Zaghe fans do. They'll prob say he is the best welter out there, yeah... but Joe's fans will say he could have beaten anyone in his prime, he would of did the same to Roy when he was younger, etc.
So was Pavlik. Tito is a knockout artist, Hopkins isn't IMO(Joppy). Styles makes fights, Tito has had problems with some Boxers. I believe size played a big role in his defeat, not just skills.
Fair enough!
The point still remains is that Hopkins took away Tito best weapons...I dont think size has anything to do with it IMO...It takes skills for you to take away someone's strength...If thats the case why didnt Hopkins bullrush Tito if he was the bigger and stronger fighter?
Hopkins is leagues better than Joppy. I take it you didn't notice the size difference vs Trinidad.
Dude, Tito was favored to beat Hopkins...I'm sorry that excuse doesnt work man...Tito did something Hopkins couldnt do to Joppy.(KO him)
I saw the difference...and lets not forget Hopkins came in under the Middleweight limit for that fight...So thats a moot point...Hopkins beat Tito with sheer skill instead of his size so I dont see what point you're trying to stress...Yes, I did watch the fight...I watch it damn near 3-4 times a week.
How did Hopkins recognition start? thats right by beating 2 blownup welterweights, hos that for overrated!
So now Tito is blown up Welterweight?....I thought he just Ko Joppy before the Hopkins fight (which Hopkins couldnt do) yet you call him a blown up Welterweight.
Calzaghe is not overrated :nono:.....I think his abilities are underrated....especially his jab, but he will seem a bit overrated if you compared his victories with Margarito's :boxing:.......just my opinion!
calzaghe is way overrated because to me he has yet to beat a young prime elite fighter.. but he has been a champ for over a decade and he does have some skills he isnt complete trash, he just hasnt gone out of his way to fight elite fighters.. margarito is waaay overated with the most feared man crap.. he's a decent fighter himself but he has alot of flaws boxing wise and i think he only gets by because the majority of the fighters he fights is at a size disadvantage.. i think margarito is more overrated
Yes he beat a SHOT RJJ and humuliated? Just as long as you aren't talkin about the B-Hop fight lol
bernard ran like a bitch and he did not win more than 3 rounds he landed 2 big punches 1 in the 1st and 1 in the 7th thats it besides that he ran, cryed and clinched
After the Pac/DLH fight he can.
If Pac loses, I think Cal deserves that #1 spot.
no Marquez is still there ahead of Calzaghe...I think he beat Pac twice anyways
Why are people still trying to discredit Calzaghe's win over Hopkins?
Hopkins is still one of the best p4p fighters in the world and Calzaghe beat his ass.
first guy in the history to get his ass beat by air punches. that is impressive.
Stupid poll
Neither fighter is overrated
Calzaghe is the #1 p4p fighter in the world
Margarito is the best welterweight in the world
he's number 3 which is 2 behind number 1 if you can't do math.
