Please, thats blasfimy. don't ever say something so ******.

    Holmes and Joppy? WTF? neither of them will be remebered 10 years from now Lacy and Kessler will. Trinidad and De la hoya are both natural Welters De La Hoya barely got past Sturm. Taylor beat B-Hop in the 1st fight but the judges scorecards matter not your opinion. Winky fought best at 154 not 175.

    Now I'll explain why Calzaghe will be remembered as a better fighter than Hopkins. He WON his fights against the two best Super-Middles Kessler would dominate Taylor in the ring. His hands are fast, really fast and he can sustain that for 12 rounds to throw 1000 punches a fight. He can change his style from the get go to adjust to his opponent. Hopkins is overated. In his prime Calzaghe would have beaten him IMO. His activity even at 36 is amazing imagine what a prime 27 year old Zag could do , back when his hands weren't brittle and he carried power in each punch. Kessler would beat Pavlik and Taylor and pretty much most of the forum agree. (it was in an earlier thread)

            I meant 17 not 27 lol but honestly, Calzaghe was deeply underated before he fought Lacy and Kessler. He was no one, a paper champ and becuase he cleared out his division much LIKE hopkins did he deserves his P4P ranking. Justify why you believe calzaghe is overated. Not on his wins but on his style or fighting because Hopkins is way overated because of his wins over smaller men his position stands because of his style that lends toward his longevity.

              I agree that Calzaghe is overrated.

              He's an excellent fighter........no doubt. But this P4P talk is insane considering he's never beat a top 10 P4P fighter.

                All you people are dumb. Calzaghe is waaaaaaaaaay overrated.

                I mean yeah he's never lost.........BUT...............

                HOW MANY OF THEM OPPONENTS WERE AMERICAN? EVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE TO BEAT AN AMERICAN BOXER TO BE RATED BY ANYONE!!!! ITS TEH LAW FFS!!!!! OTHER COUNTRIES CANT MAKE GOOD BOXERS SO IF YOU HAVENT FOUGHT AN AMERICAN BOXER, ITS OBVIOUS YOURE EITHER ****, OR YOUR SCARED.

                ^^^TRUTH^^^

                Till calzaghe beats a famous american boxer he has a echeived nothing. Even though he has multiple belts, never been defeated and has broken records for the longest title defence run..................UNTIL HE FIGHTS A FAMOUS AMERICAN BOXER IT MEANS NOTHING.


                THANKYOU AND GOODNIGHT.

                      yup. Kessler was a perfectly fine lineal non american champ with enough talent to dominate the super middle division if calzaghe wasn't their, he just happens to be their at a time when such a champ rules.

                      Kessler is underated by most could beat Taylor and Pavlik IMO.
