The greatest British fighter P4P ever, Calzaghe or Lewis?

[hardmanbrit]

In his weight division Calzaghe beat every single fighter that he ever fought and became the undisputed world champion.

He even went up to a totally new weight division when he was past his best (admittedly Hopkins was too) and became the World Champ in that weight division.

The London-born twelve year World Champion has not done so bad.

but he fought in the supermiddleweight division aka runawayville. sven ottke was undefeated there too so that's not saying much.

Ottke is a bit different, you'd have to kill him to get a draw in Germany.
I'd say Calzaghe, especially if it's p4p

When will people stop with this canadian rubbish. Born in Britain and held a british passport. Parents split and his mum moved to canada when he was 11 or 12, he's not gonna stay here all by himself.

So he boxed for canada in the amatuers, he's not gonna travel to the uk and fight there as it's not viable. It's not until he turns pro and is being paid that he can return to the uk and fight where he considers his real home. British with Jamaican heritage and a soft spot for canada his adopted country.

P4P includes heavyweights you fool. Like if you were comparing McGuigan versus Lewis P4P, you could imagine McGuigan as a heavyweight, or Lewis as a featherweight or both somewhere in between.
