  • I think anyone who has Calzaghe over Cotto in their p4p rankings is dead wrong.

    Who has Calzaghe beaten that is better than Shane Mosley?

    Cotto's recent wins: Malignaggi, Quintana, Judah and Mosley. All of them in the top 5 of their weight classes. Only Mosley wasn't in his prime.

      Ok, I've bolded the fighters who I believe Calzaghe's accomplishments in the last 78-08 period eclipse. The italicised guys are close calls. So yes.

        The question should be, is he a top 10 in the last 30 years?

        I don't know about that one...

          Please name the prime fighters that Calzaghe beat who are better than Shane Mosley and Felix Trinidad.

          I do not have Joe above Winky.

            4. Bsriz*** leaves the thread, I begin to wonder if perhaps he's decided to actually watch some boxing before commenting in future.
            5. A new thread about Calzaghe is created, bsriz*** notices it and the cycle begin again ad infinitum
            Awww, love you too.

            If you think he's better than those fighters like Ricky, maybe it's you who should watch more boxing.

              Mosley and Trinidad were past prime and in the wrong class when they fought Winky.
              Kessler is way better @SMW than Mosley and Tito are at SWW and MW.

                Well prime Kessler is better than out of prime Mosley in my opinion. He has also been in two weight classes with major victories. If Cotto gets the nod over Marg or can move up a weight class he'll be a lot lot closer.
