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

This thread clearly illustrates how poor Calzaghe's resume is.
When people are arguing who was a more quality opponent between Woodhall and Robin Reid, you have yourself some quality 'self ownage'.Comment

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.
Brewer, let's not forget a lot of people were saying back in the day that Jones Jr was running scared from him.. until Bomber fella made him look bad (but then again, Bomber fella would of made Carlos Monzon look bad). Also, Brewer was clearly robbed against Ottke and Echols, Ottke was Calzaghe's SMW rival and Echols was Hopkins's toughest fight.
Joe also proved himself the best of the 'Three Amigos' by beating Robin and Richie (along with Alan Minter, Richie and Robin were the only Olympic medalists from Britain to go on to win pro world titles).
Omar Sheika, that was almost a 50/50 fight, Sheika was considered a great prospect back then although had trouble with Glen Johnson in his previous fight.
And Bryon Mitchell, big-punching former world champion.
Not to mention Eubank and Lacy.Last edited by GEOFFHAYES; 12-04-2006, 04:59 PM.Comment

You've never even seen either of them. Both were top quality fighters, far better than any of todays SMW's.Comment
