Why Joe Calzaghe is no. 1 P4P

[bdevils]

floyd cant even make 140 because he would have fought hatton at that weight, and his fight with oscar was at jr middle

Are you ****ing ******? Looking at your sig it's obvious your are! But anyway Floyd can easily make 140 jackass!

I don't think it's calzaghe's fault I think It's Frank Warren. After he lost Nassem because he brought him along a bit fast and his career got destroyed after Barrera he wanted to milk the most out of his fighters. Calzaghes proved (although a little late) that he is a great champ. Imagine if we had actually seen a prime calzaghe fight the kind of opposition he is seeking now.

Yeah i actually agree., and im not being sarcastic either. Calzaghe to me proved that he was great when he beat Lacy and Kessler. They were two undefeated power punching champions in thier prime and he beat them easily. It would have been good if he fought prime Hopkins or Prime Roy Jones though.

I laugh my ass off everytime I see your signature and read what it says under the picture, because you can clearly see no punches even land.

This thread is bull****. Everybody knows that Margarito is P4P # 1 and the Absolute Ruler of the Universe.

im sick of all this calzaghe being the best and **** man.. wtf is wrong with every1? seriously?

4 legit fights of his 20 defenses? he never left the country to fight.. JOE STRUGGLED WITH SAKIO BIKA!! hes not what every1 makes him out to be..
Hes hard to beat because of his sheer activity and good chin..

Does JOE have defense? NOPE.. His offense is his defense.. he throws alot of punches..

dont get it twisted man.. he was afraid to fight lacys for quite some time.. but once he beat lacy(who every1 thought was unstoppable) he came out of his shell and said that he was one of the best in the world..

Kessler is a good fighter.. and thats his best win..

heres a nice article from bodog.. ive posted this once, ill do it again..

alzaghe is a little older and someone who may be in the process of wrapping things up in his career. Having been a world champion for ten years now, Calzaghe has spent a great deal of time turning down fights and has never really maximized his position, at least on a worldwide basis. He hasn't really fought what could be termed a "who's who" of the other competitors in his division; indeed, you could list a number of guys he did not fight, including Markus Beyer, Sven Ottke, Anthony Mundine, Danny Green, Antwun Echols, Mads Larsen, Frankie Liles and others.

To be fair, ottke knew he couldnt beat calzaghe fair and square, and calzaghe would prolly beat all the guys you named, but you are right, one way or another he hasnt fought the other greats in and around his weight class, Jones, Prime Hopkins, Toney, even guys like Tarver and Glen Johnson there's obviously something going on there.

[Easy-E]

Joe Calzaghe fought and convincingly defeated the top two most dangerous and risky threats at 168 Jeff Lacy and Kessler.

Mayweather will not face his most dangerous and risky challengers at 147 Cotto and Margarito or Williams. He will not even face them.

THis is why Calzaghe should be p4p tops, he is the clear no. 1 at his weight. Floyd is not the clear, many feel Cotto will beat him, or Williams or Margarito would to.

To be the best you have to fight and beat the best. Joe did this and he did it in decisive and convncing fashion.

Not even a logical argument.
The fact that you are claiming Jeff Lacy is one of the "best" is just plain sad.
Mayweathers wins over DLH, Hatton, Castillo and Corrales are superior to any victory of Calzaghe's.

[Easy-E]

Corrales, Castillo, Castillo, Judah

Wow abused that kid.
What an idiot he is.

[Haterfree]

The author of this thread is obviously ****ing idiot. Joe is a great champion. But he doesnt have 1 victory over a Hall Of Famer yet. While Floyd has beaten 4. He beat Castillo twice. He also beat 2 undefeated fighters in their prime (Diego & Hatton). Pacman has beaten 2 Hall of famers also. They both rank higher than Joe on rings P4P list.
