joe calzaghe vs jermaine taylor

[BattlingNelson]

Ottke was an animal in his prime. Check out the Brutal KO in your sig!

Kidding aside he still had some very nice wins.

Yep, his schooling of Robin Reid was impressive. hehe...

But anyway, on topic. I don't think it would really put him on par with Joe. Taylor got 2 close wins over a younger B Hop, but stuggled against 2 smaller guys in Ouma and Spinks, lost twice to Pavlik, you know it. I don't think a couple of good wins would make him even IMO, But he would have a solid resume if he could beat Kessler for a title.

[BRAVE-HEART]

How can you say his resume would be the same!?? Thats crazy !
Before his resume could be classed as better than Calzaghes he would have to defeat eight former world champions and make 20+ world title defenses !
Only some thing great fighters do!

hahaha i love the use of the word " former " world champions, you just backed up his point about calzaghes resume.

[abadger]

its not impossible that that limited fighter you speak of could beat or even knock out calzaghe.


another note... I read in an article explaining why calzaghe wasn't relevant when jones was campaiining at super middle weight that the belt calzaghe held for so long wasn't really thought of as a championship belt kinda like the ibo belt is now. so maybe those defense didn't mean as much as were lead to believe. kinda like someone defending a nabo belt forever

The reason Calzaghe wasn't relevant when Jones was campaigning at SMW was because he was an unknown British boxer who had never won world title. Calzaghe won his world title in 1997, the same year Jones became a LHW.

I'm not angry. I just arrive on the boards only to be greeted with thread upon thread of crap. Couldn't some of these people at least try to know WTF they are talking about? ****, maybe I am angry.

I'm still laughing at my avvy though.

Good, glad you enjoy it.

You are mad, You came here to discuss the P4P (2nd) best in the world to have hate shoved down you throat. Watch Calzaghe-Kessler to calm you down

I actually believe that you do. I really do.

you do realize that joe was wbo champ and the politics of the wbc , wba and ibf against the wbo at the time right?

same reason hamed , another wbo champ , couldn't unify all the belts even though he beat EVERY single wbc , wba , ibf title holder at 126 in his time.

mitchell was wba champ 3 months before he fought calzaghe. reid was wbc champ about a year before he fought joe as well.

the fights just couldn't be made when they were the champ.
