    Exist there no middle ground?

    This is two extremes arguing. I don't know if Calzaghe is top 25.
    He is not in mine, but that's personal because of his girlie style.
    Unless you guys have exceptionally good knowledge on every top fighter the last 30 years, I suggest you just say "I don't know".

    THose words can be relieving, ya dig?
    I consider myself in the middle ground; I answered "I don't know" as well...

      Also, I have to say, what does it matter and who cares? Whether we put the man into some arbitrary category doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to how good he is or justify his fans appreciation of him.

        Katsidis is a c-class fighter with a china-chin. He went to war with Earl, who was knocked out by Khan in one round. SO Khan must be the "most dangerous puncher" in the history of boxing.

          Hes not one of the greatest fighters period.

          How many P4P fighters has he beaten???

          How long did he weight drain himself to stay at 168 and fight bums???

          How did he look when he FINALLY moved up in weight to 175???

          How did he look against a 43 year old Hopkins???

          Why does he want to fight a 40 year old Roy Jones??

          Why not Pavlik, Winky, Miranda, Abraham??

            Yes. Yes, indeed he is.

            Good logic.

                Winky is old too. Miranda is garbage.

                Pavlik is limited and basic. Abraham is too small.

                None of those wins would be as impressive as even a 43 year old Hopkins, considering Calzaghe is the bigger man in each of those fights.

                That being said, beating a 43 year old Hopkins isn't that impressive, is it?
                Even Taylor did that, twice!

                    No.

                    Earl was completley destroyed by kastidis, and suprise suprise, thats when khan decided to fight him. Or is willie limond better than Katsidis too, cos he lasted longer with Khan than earl did. lol.

                    Its all about timing, anyhow Khan got in the ring with Katisidis now, he'd get destroyed too, and a prime casamayor would knock him senseless too.

                      If your biggest win is against a 43 year old that you barely beat....how the **** can you be considered great period.
