Who was Joe Blow's best opponent of his career?

[Welter_Skelter]

Nah, he'd been a shadow of his former self for four or five years.

Thats true.. but its still Calzaghes most prestiegous opponent

[K-Nan]

Sakio Bika!

[Easy-E]

Probably Robin Reid.

A close, SD win over Robin Reid is his best win??
Weak.
And JuyJuy, Woodhall had just lost to Marcus Beyer the fight before and that was the last fight of his career.

Most prestigous name by far, and Joe still says it was his toughest fight by some way.

But Eubank was all heart against Calzaghe, nothing more.

[Mr. Ryan]

That'd have to be Joe Mama, cuz I ****** her in the ass.

And JuyJuy, Woodhall had just lost to Marcus Beyer the fight before and that was the last fight of his career.

Losing to Beyer was a massive upset, and the thing is, just watching the fight you can see that Beyer isn't in Woodhall's class. Woodhall had been out of the ring for almost a year after falling out with Warren, so was rusty and it showed (he couldn't find his range until about the sixth or seventh - and from there schooled Beyer) and had just five weeks to prepare for Beyer after surgery went wrong or he'd be stripped of the title, and could hardly extend his left arm at all in the fight. He had 12 weeks to prepare for Calzaghe and had had finally had successful surgery. And it wasn't going to be Richie's last fight, he actually thought he could beat Calzaghe in a rematch, he had another fight lined up for the vacant WBF belt or some **** but hurt his elbow in training and just thought 'enoughs enough'.

[GEOFFHAYES]

A close, SD win over Robin Reid is his best win??

No. He broke his hand in the fourth round and from there Reid was on level pegging. But Joe picked up the first three or four rounds, whizzing by them. Reid, that was Reid at his very best IMO (you could tell he was so up for that fight, more than any other) and Calzaghe at his worst, and Calzaghe still won clearly.. out-worked Robin in most of the rounds.

Be serious, though.
Eubank was DONE.

What a joke.
Beyer won cleanly.
Your talking utter nonsense.

Charles Brewer or Jeff Lacy. Either way you look at it, it's pretty sad. Look at the rest of the p4p fighters and show me one with a worse resume than Calzaghe. Calzaghe's only on the list cuz he's undefeated lol.

Mayweather's wins over Augustus, Corrales, Chavez, Hernandez, Castillo (twice) Gatti, Judah, and Baldomir are all as good or better than the win over Brewer or Lacy. Mayweather is also undefeated.

Wright's wins over Mosley (twice), Trinidad, Quartey, and draw with Taylor are all as good or better than Calzaghe's best wins.

Pacquiao's wins over Barrera, Morales (twice), and draw with Marquez (which is really a win) are as good or better than Calzaghe's best wins.

Taylor's wins over Hopkins (twice) and draw with Wright are all better than Calzaghe's best. Taylor is also undefeated.

Hatton's win over Tszyu is better than Calzaghe's best win.

I mean this could go on all day.
