You lot have to be ****ing kidding me, right?
If you was one of those that placed Joe Calslappy, THE Sven Ottke of Wales above Marvin Hagler & Bernard Hopkins, please feel free to slap yourself & delete your account.
I don't know what is funnier, the above being said or people saying Calzaghe is a top 10 ATG!!!
Feel free to take a look at some of Calzaghe's most brutal K.O's.
We have a collection below of some amazing stoppage wins from rabbit punches to fights being stopped due to Calzaghe's opponents gloves taking to much punishment all the way to a stoppage where not a single shot landed.

WHO BEAT JOE CALZAGHE?..........THAT WHY CALZAGHE IS THE G.O.A.T:lol1:
if prime roy jones fought a prime calzaghe, jones puts him on queer street.
over the hill roy jones knocked calzaghe's drug addict ass with a weak punch, imagine a prime roy jones punch or a combination.
I still think that fight was fixed. The gloved didnt even connect on the knockdown and Calzaghe was actually looking dazed. That can't have possibly dazed him. When he got up Jones didnt even press on for the knockout. Neither of them were putting anything into there punches.
if prime roy jones fought a prime calzaghe, jones puts him on queer street.
over the hill roy jones knocked calzaghe's drug addict ass with a weak punch, imagine a prime roy jones punch or a combination.
let me remind you because Ya'll Must've Forgot:usa2::loser:

That punch would of knocked Calzaghe out cold. Jones got up & continued to dominate the fight. It's boxing - you get in the ring, you're going to get hit. You jump a shower, you're going to get wet.
If I knew how to embed videos I'd upload Joe Calslappy getting floored by journeyman Byron Mitchell & the feather fisted Kabary Salem.
Look given the sheer number of posts you have made it is very clear you do not agree that on some meaningless list JC is on it somewhere higher than you think he he should be. But your obsession about what is essentially a trivial matter and demonstrated conformation bias indicate that you are as unwelcoming to other opinions as your continued opinions are unwelcome to those with a differing view like me. Alot of American fans would agree with you but alot of boxing fans would not and will not despite the amount of folly/effort you make.
From Wikipedia
In the first round, Calzaghe, who was seven years younger than Hopkins, was knocked with a straight right hand which led to Calzaghe suffered a small cut on the bridge of his nose.
Calzaghe was warned by referee Joe Cortez in the second round for throwing a low blow. Cortez later warned both fighters for hitting behind the head. The fight was definitely slipping into the pattern that favored Hopkins - slow, down and dirty.
Cortez called a timeout and brought both fighters to the center of the ring for a lecture in the fourth round. He did that after both of them had committed fouls - Calzaghe for holding and hitting and Hopkins for hitting on the break. Calzaghe still managed to land a couple of blows to the back of Hopkins' head at the end of the fifth round.
Calzaghe never got the opportunity to showcase his blazingly fast hands and his combinations. Hopkins would smother him whenever he tried to come in and throw more than one punch. But Hopkins seemed to slow down in the later rounds.
In the 10th round, Calzaghe hit Hopkins with a punch that was low. Hopkins crumpled to the canvas and was slow getting up. Cortez didn't take away a point, but gave Hopkins a two-minute break to gather himself. Calzaghe thought Hopkins was acting and waved for the crowd to show their displeasure with Hopkins. The fans booed on cue.
"It was a low blow," Hopkins said. "It knocked my privates out of the cup. That's why Joe gave me (two) minutes."
Hopkins complained of another low blow in the 11th round, but this time Cortez ignored his plea for time and told him to keep fighting. He came out and tried to ferociously attack Calzaghe, but Calzaghe charged back.
'Round 12: "The undefeated record is on the line and Calzaghe comes forward like he knows it. But Hopkins ties him up time and again. A frustrating final round for the Welshman and a frustrating fight really. Some experts disagree with me but I think Hopkins has this. Like I said before, I hope I'm wrong." ' -BBC Live Text Commentary.
'Round 12: "A round that started with Calzaghe's corner imploring their man for a knockout ends with a strong flurry from the Welshman, but will it be enough? It's close, but Calzaghe was put down in the first round and Hopkins never allowed him to get near enough to show his talents to their best advantage. For me, it's Hopkins' fight, with the best that Calzaghe can hope for a split decision." ' -The Guardian Live Text Commentary.
In the end, judges Chuck Giampa (116-111) and Ted Gimza (115-112) scored the fight for Calzaghe, while judge Adalaide Byrd (114-113) scored the fight for Hopkins. According to CompuBox, Calzaghe landed more punches on Hopkins than any of his previous opponents.
The Associated Press, New York Daily News, Yahoo! Sports, ESPN.com and Fighthype all scored it 114-113 for Bernard Hopkins.
"It was a good fight. I thought Bernard (Hopkins) won though," commented former undisputed Heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson.
"Hopkins beat Calzaghe, let's not forget. It was a split decision and a very close call, Calzaghe got beat up, his nose was bust and Hopkins was unmarked." Super middleweight champion Carl Froch commented, "Come on, put it in perspective and let's not lose our minds here, he was put on his ass by a 43-year-old (Bernard Hopkins) and 40-year-old (Roy Jones Jr.) in his last two fights."

I was speaking on Hagler staying in one division.
As for Jones, I dont think he was built to fight elite south paws and would always have trouble with Calzaghe.
Funny.. Calzaghe was nothing more than an average boxer that had a few good wins..people act like he's some sort of god or legend..plz come on in 10 yrs people won't even know who he is..hell I done forgot about him lol..
Can any Calzaghe fan defend the stoppages posted by the TS? Those are some of the worst of all time, hahahahahah.
Haha how can you possibly even try defend those though? My personal favourite has to be the 16 slap flurry against Peter Manfredo Jnr - 12 miss, I think one skims the back of Manfredo's head & the other 3 hit the glvoes & the ref jumps in like ''Sh1t he's being killed, STOP BOXING! STOP BOXING!''

joe calzaghe was chasing Antonio Tarver & Glen Johnson
go to 8:53
go to 3:10
Antonio Tarver & Glen Johnson lost so the fight never happen
What Joe says & does are two totally different things. It's not a secret Joe pulled out of fights with Johnson AT LEAST twice! The guys a coward. Always was, always will be & true, legit boxing fans give him little credit because quite frankly his record is ridiculously padded. :stooges:
Anyway thanks for the debate, couldn't of done it without you. I am off for a shower so if I don't reply it's because I am scrubbing my balls.
Haha @ that pic! Yh I guess it makes a change from the usual crap about drug tests & that :P
Green K.
word up, specially loved the kid posting jones getting ko'd
if you ask him how many pounds of pure muscle roy had to lose in order to fight tarver he will swallow his tongue
