Interesting how Joe Calzaghes legacy has changed

[QueensburyRules]

In his entire stay at 168 he fought two people ranked in the Top 5 - Kessler and Lacy.

During his short stay at 175 he fought one person ranked in the Top 5 - Hopkins.

For a grand total of 3.

- - Joe emasculated Poppy in April of 2008 for his Ring belt before shredding Roy at the end of 2008 after which the title is vacant for 2009 with Poppy #2 under #1 Chad Dawson and Roy disappeared for that year and beyond.

It's like the short bus U used to ride in was only a scale model.

By his own words he was "scared to fly" then that's why

The guy's a joke in all honesty. Without doubt amongst the conversation of the worst resumes of HOF inductees especially the modern era.

Been on this site for a long time and I always laugh whenever you go in on Joe Calzaghe.

That is the END of 1997. AFTER they fought you fucking imbecile.

AT THE TIME they fought, Chris Eubank was unranked. That is a FACT.

What part of that do you not understand, you clown?

Yes, The Ring Magazine rankings.

He fought 3 fighters ranked in the Top 5 in his career.

I just named them for you...

Ok and your point is what?

You've just literally shown me that Roy Jones was not ranked in the Top 5 and hadn't been for close to a DECADE!!

Hopkins was ranked in the Top 5 which I clearly stated in the post you've just responded to.

He fought 3 fighters ranked in the Top 5 in his career; Hopkins......Kessler......Lacy.

Fucking brain dead prick.

This logic has me confused.

If Eubank was unranked before he fought Calzaghe and then lost to him, why would he then appear in the next rankings?

Would Ring Magazine move a fighter up in their ranking via a loss where the fighter looked good?

Did Eubank look good agsinst Calzaghe?

But he then dropped his next two fights anyway.

I might be missing something.

Interesting. Maybe the Ring reinstated him sometime before the Calzaghe fight. Only thing is one of the guys was fighting debut fighters 3 and 4 fights before, and the other was on a streak of 4 straight losses. Either way it shows Eubank wasn't the fighter he once was and had an undeserving ranking it my hypothesis is correct.

I guess he showed heart, who knows their reasoning to why they decided to rank him after their fight.

What we do know is he wasn't ranked at 168 when Calzaghe fought him, that's a fact.
