talyors resume is already 10 times better than joes

Why do people even consider Spinks and Ouma as credible let alone impressice victories?

If Calzaghe went and beat Carlos Quintana and Kermit Cintron, would that be impressive?

You can always be counted on to defend euro fighters to the death.

Calzaghe's wins:

Kessler
Hopkins
Eubank
Reid
Lacy



Taylor's wins:

Hopkins twice
Spinks
Ouma


Looking at this it makes me laugh how people can say Taylor has the better resume.

Taylor, he fights everyone & never ducked anyone. Pavlik 2X, Hopkins 2X, & Wright. Calzaghe doesn't have a bad resume, but he wants to fight for money over challenge.

Those trying to make the case that Taylor has the better resume, or even say it is comparable are fooling themselves. There is a difference between what you want to be the case and actually is.

There is a degree of comparison between the quality of fighters the two boxers fought in their biggest fights:

Taylor: Hopkins, Pavlik, Wright, Spinks, Ouma

Calzaghe: Hopkins, Kessler, Eubank, Reid, Mitchell

It is debateable as to who has the better list of fighters, I would say Calzaghe, a Taylor fan would say Taylor.

The problem for the Taylor fan is that their point is moot, Calzaghe won all of his and Taylor lost twice and drew once. Based on these fights alone, Calzaghe's resume is better than Taylor's.

Then there are some more things to consider: In addition to these fighters Joe Calzaghe also fought Lacy, Charles Brewer, Richie Woodhall, Omar Sheika, Sakio Bika, Kabary Salem. The names I list here are not greats of boxing by any means, but are meaningful wins over meaningful opponents, they all add up on Calzaghe's resume as succesful title defences. Taylor's is sadly lacking in these, beyond Spinks and Ouma who we have already accounted for.

Then, finally you have to account for the two resumes as a whole. Calzaghe's represents an undefeated run as a pro over 15 years, 21 title defences and 10 years as champion, and a linear title in another weight division, all without a single slip up or off-night, which could have happened at any time. Compare this with Taylor: great title win over B-Hop, proved it in the rematch, two solid defences, a draw, then a pair of losses to the first prime fighter he faced as champion. Calzaghe comes out on top again.

As many have said already, Jermain Taylor's resume is not even close to being as good as Calzaghe's.

With that post in mind we are now absolutely certain that Taylor's resumé is at least 10 times greater than Calzaghe's.

I don't understand why you get so defensive. Makes me sick.

I contribute much more to these forums because unlike you, I have more to say about more fighters than just the British ones. You seem to come out solely to dispute some soft of an argument pertaining to British fighters. I RARELY see you anywhere else.

LOL. Out of all of those opponents he only beat ONE.

This isn't about level of competition joshua, Its about resumes and who has the better wins on their record.

Im in a thread stating that I think Joe Calzaghe has a better resume than Jermain Taylor.
