I clicked Joe and pressed OK by accident when I was just about to change it to Lewis last second but it processed as Joe, I shouldn't have had to think about it in the first place though.
My vote went for Joe, but I think Lewis.
For me it goes (out of British fighters)
1. Wilde
2. Lennox
3. Calzaghe
4. Hatton/Turpin/Hamed/Honeyghan - whoever etc.
Along with Wilde and Lennox, bob fitzsimmons, and Kid Lews rank above Joe, and possibly Buchanon as well..
Calzaghe beats Lennox with regards to absolute professionalism. taking every fight seriously and giving each opponent respect whether Tocker Pudwill or Bernard Hopkins. The fact he wasted too many years on meaningless mandatories makes his record look better then it is. Lewis fought top opposition from the moment he became champion and is rightly considered one of the best HW's of the last 25 years. Taking risks and dealing with the consequences successfully is more impressive than protecting the "0" in the loss column.
elaborate??
calzaghe didn't lose to two average fighters.
calzaghe has a bigger legacy of the two.
rahman and mccall......
are probably better than kessler and lacy. 2 of joe's biggest wins.
true story.
Barry McGuigan also says Calzaghe is better.
calzaghe being considered an all-time great is the second most embarassing mistake made in boxing.
barry mcguigan getting in the HOF is first.
Lennox Lewis all day long baby! He is a TRUE Great and fought them all! Joe, well we know he snaked his way through a dissapointing if decorated career
Guys dont be surprised if you hear any guy from Setanta sports calling Calzaghe greater than Sugar Ray Robinson.
Calzaghe's the main header of Setanata boxing and you will never hear any of the guys in Setanta bad mouth him.
He's really the sole promoter of Setanta boxing. Hence dont take in too much of what guys like Mcguigan and Buncy say about him. There extremelly biased.
because lewis beat a prime tyson right?
jesus christ... god help people on this board.
Listen, im not even a fan of Lewis, but there's no way that Calzaghe has accomplished more than Lewis. No way!
Only a biased cocksucking nuthugger would vote for Calzaghe in this poll.
Had Calzaghe beat both Hopkins and Roy while at thier prime, then there would be room for debate.
