Joe Calzaghe Or Felix Trinidad?

they are both good fighters

:rofl: @ Joe was in his prime @ 36. Well he was undefeated when he retired , so is to say he wasnt???? Common man look at the votes , stop making a fool out ur self

Stupid poll. Why can only one be remembered as a great fighter? They both are. Do you mean who should be regarded more highly? I would say Cazlaghe, because he couldn't have done anymore than he did. Undefeated and a champion for 10 years. That takes incredible ability and application. Trinidad was awesome though. Mad props to Felix. Definite Hall of Famer.

Calzaghe wins this one for me and I am Puerto Rican. Trinidad is a warrior and will go down in history, but he tainted his legacy with his terrible come backs. I went to the Jones v. Trinidad fight and actually witnessed the beat down. Calzaghe destroyed Roy. The win over Kessler was a great one. Kessler is a top talent and that was an amazing display by Joe. Joe beat Bika, Lacy when he was undefeated and beat a lot of other great fighters. Calzaghe...but Trinidad was a beast! How can you hold the loss to Roy Jones against Tito? Not only was Tito shot and rusty,but he was pudgy several weight classes above his peak weight.Roy was shot to bits and without a win over world class opposition for five years at that point.Lacy wasn't a better fighter than David Reid and Vargas was a better fighter than Kessler.

Dude, Tito was old and way above his best weight...Jones vs. Tito was basically a showcase of two old icons. Ala Leonard/Duran III Tito beat a prime Vargas who was way better than Kessler or Lacy.

Both have done alot but I think Trinidad has more meaningful wins so between the two, I say Trinidad.

Tough one. Calzaghe wins this one for me and I am Puerto Rican. Trinidad is a warrior and will go down in history, but he tainted his legacy with his terrible come backs. I went to the Jones v.

Tito......

not even close. trinidad is an ATG in my time.

Tito should have stayed away from 'The welterweight Killer' Bernard Hopkins.

Also Tito, may have gotten beat up by Bernard Hopkins, but he was fighting him 7 years earlier at his best weight, not 44 years old and blown up at LH.

Tito, easily. Jesus, what's next Joe C or Ray Robinson? Knowing some posters here they'd say Joe.

But, Calzaghe was not a boxer who was real technical though... Yeah but he seems awkward and unorthodox(he learned boxing from a jazz musician)...the guy doesn't even punch correctly at times... I think he wudda confused Tito in there...I don't think he would dominate though...Tito would probably drop him at some point...since Joe likes gettin dropped early

I think Calzaghe was a superior fighter to Trinidad but their careers are actually fairly similar as is their level of comp. They both won a belt against a faded titlist (Blocker, Eubank); both defended against some good fighters, some not so good fighters, missed some tough titlists (Ottke, Quartey), and did some unification. They both ruined a young undefeated fighter (Lacy, Vargas); both beat a faded shell of a great (Whitaker, Jones); both had a BIG win that sparks some debate (Oscar, Hopkins; the Oscar fight is far more debatable). Both were sat on for years in their physical prime by major promoters. Depends what you like. Calzaghe was smarter and more versatile; there was never a style where he got embarrassed, though his technique was often awkward. Tito could erase a lead with a single shot but there were fighters who could make him look amateurishly one dimensional (and he really wasn't).

Trinidad fought better fighters and should be ranked higher...if they were at the same weight I think Joe would beat Tito... Trinidad always seemed to have problems with "boxers who were real technical." In my opinion... But, Calzaghe was not a boxer who was real technical though...

Joe Calzaghe.

Calzaghe didn't exactly fight Hopkins and Jones while he was in his prime did he?? I don't like it when people say Calzaghe wasn't he his prime when he fought Hopkins and Jones, which is true in a sense but what did Calzaghe lose with age? Power? That's about it. Now compare that to the Roy Jones he fought in his last fight before retiring? It's not the same comparison quite frankly. Calzaghe had the advantage over both those guys when he fought them.

JMW Trinidad has the same big names on his resume that SMW Calzaghe does and Tito fought them first.

Tito by far. These 2 shouldn't be compared...
