    Calzaghe is a very good fighter but definately overrated. His resume, like all fighters from the UK is very padded with many hand-picked opponents. Pretty much all British fighters are this way, its just the way it is. They can make easier money staying at home and fighting fairly average fighters in front of big crowds and big TV audiences than they can if they go and try to scrap it out in the US. Same situation with Mundine in Australia, he has never gone over to the US because he has never needed to. They are just fighting in different markets.

      wlad is the most talented heavyweight emanuel steward has seen, more talented than lewis, view my sig

            You're obviously a roy jones jr fan but will you admit that Calzaghe/Jones Jr is a weak fight to be happening at this point of Calzaghes career and that he has many advantages over Roy whos only looked so-so in his last couple of fights against mediocre opposition. Trinidad was smaller in weight yet he won like the first 3-4 rounds I believe.

              Yes. Just SLIGHTLY better. He doesnt have ****. Just size and legnth. Remember this, boxing is supposed to be second nature and you react with out thinking. That is a truely skilled fighter. Wlad thinks too much in the ring and every move of his is too calculated. He ****in sucks. Like I said, he is a product of perfect timing.

                Never said he was great, I said he is good just like I consider Calzaghe good.

                  Kessler beat SMW Champion Mundine.
