Calzaghe is overrated

[The Gunner]

The Gunner, you have been on this board for hours straight defending Calzaghe.

If your rate him, fair enough. But fact is many don't buy into the dodgy engineered career.

Im defending Hopkins here, get your facts right.

Bernard walked around just above his fighting weight, his body was a temple. He would even send salad back if it came with dressing on it.

More power...

My motive is putting boxers in their rightful place. Calzaghe is not nearly as great as he is being made out to be. There are fighters today that have accomplished more then Calzaghe and are not even on the p4p list. That is sad.

You know i've read most of u'r observation, views & counter reactions even most of them throwing some counter reactions rapidly...i've admire u of how u wisely answered them w/ expertise...a construvtive & healthy conversation...i mostly agree w/ ur observations & comments...more power!!!

I am not just saying this because Joe Calzaghe was born in the same London hospital as me (my only claim to fame) but surely someone deserves credit if they become the UNDISPUTED World Champion of their weight division, as Joe did.

Kessler, Roy Jones Jr, Chris Eubank Bernard Hopkins and Jeff Lacy were not bums, either.

In fact, some may react scornfully to this, but I believe that Hopkins is currently the best American fighter on the planet.

Calzaghe is way overrated. He has yet to beat an elite boxer. How is he rated in the top 2 or 3 p4p? What has he done? I mean if he is so good, why hasn't he fought a great fighter. Kessler is the best he's fought and Kessler is barely an above average boxer. I'm not saying that Calzaghe is bad, but one of the best p4p? I don't think he belongs in the top 10 even. If he gets into the ring with Hopkins, Pavlik, Taylor, or Wright and beats either one of them, than he belongs, otherwise, he is way too overrated.

so kessler is the best he has fought,which means hes better than hopkins?

Hopkins is currently still the best American boxer on the planet; criminal or not.

Kessler is the best PRIME fighter that he has fought, yes. Hopkins was far past his prime.

and Kessler just got schooled by ward, further proving my point of Calzaghe being overrated.

We're still talking about this clown? He'd get whooped on if he were in the Super Six tournament. My man Andre would put him down in 10.

44 years old. Grow a brain.

Roy Jones was KOed twice how MANY years before Joe finally balled up to fight him?

Lacy is a bum. Always was.

Kasslarrr was just exposed.

Stop jockriding your hero.
