If Roy beats Calzaghe........

[MELLY-MEL...]

People with great resumes: Micheal Jordan, Tiger Woods, Ali, Joe Louis, etc etc, don't have to defend their resumes, ever. These arguments don't ever happen like they CONSTANTLY do with calzaghe nuthuggers. Deep down all of you know he has a weak ass resume and that's why you all write paragraph after paragraph trying to defend Joe and his resume. His legacy in Britain is secured, people love him there. In America and the rest of the boxing world every one knows what Joe Calzaghe is: a very good fighter, not great, who at all cost set up fights to preserve a undefeated record which he sees as "hallowed" and "immortal."

i can agree with much of this.

Roy can't beat him, hit footwork is gone...
If somehow he manages to win, I would rank him among the likes of Hearns, Hagler etc...

I already have Roy ranked higher than those guys.

Who would you favor heads-up at 160: Roy or Tommy?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

His best wins are over:

A 43yr old Bernard Hopkins. I repeat...43.

Mikkel Kessler. A solid, young champ but not a great ANYTHING by any means - unless beating Anthony Mundine and Markus Beyer make you great. It doesn't. And unless Kessler goes on to do other things, this win will diminish in significance. Kind like...

Jeff Lacy. A fighter who has gone on to do absolutely nil, and really hadn't done much beforehand. They say hindsight is 20/20. Well, now that we can see clearly, we know now that Lacy wasn't much (although some of us knew then).

Feel free to hype up Calzaghe's win over Eubank but don't try to tell me he did something Benn couldn't do...FOUR YEARS BEFORE.

Mega-kudos on a great post.

more thoughts?

It would be a great win to end his great career.

you right he isn't shot just gun shy//but once he see's calzaghe can't hurt him he'll open up like he did with trinidad

Oh, but he can get hurt. Mark my words.

well against trinidad roy fought a guy who hadnt fought in 3 years and was fighting 10 pounds above his last weight and i woud say if trinidad was able to land he woulda hurt roy but he seemed so slow for roy at age 35 so with calzaghe itll be different calzaghe punches like a ***** its true and he doesnt hit really hard either if he tries to go toe to toe with roy i see roy winning this by K.O

You're right - but not by Calzaghe.
