Like I said, you can do it to anyone.

add calzaghe and pavlik to his resume...hopkins resume is 10 times better than joes..

told ya...i knew hopkins name would pop up

Yes, because Hopkins and Calzaghe have very similar records, and rely on the fact they reigned for 10 years. However, people like you always moan about Calzaghes opposition without ever mentioning Hopkins low level of opposition through a large portion of his career.

Also, of course it ****ing did, you mentioned it first.

and Yet You Neglect To Mention That Calzaghe Broke His Hand In This Fight And Had To Rely On The Jab?



It's Quite Clear That Lacy Isn't The Same Fighter Anymore.

My Point Exactly He Fought A Bum Who He Was Able To Be With A Jab Alone......one Word: Horrendous

i dont give a **** about joe's resume and have nothing against the cat..

oh **** clegg there you go..........im not the one downing joes resume.and do you think your opinion holds any value????

It holds more value than yours because, unlike you and the thread starter, I have watched all of the fights mentioned and was following Calzaghe's career at the time, so I know the background information and how the guys involved performed.

Not long ago you were saying "Who the hell is Robin Reid?" and talking as if you hadn't seen many Chris Eubank fights. I have seen many Eubank fights and about 10 Robin Reid fights over the past 10-11 years.

Like I've said before, I don't consider Calzaghe an ATG, but I argue that viewpoint from a position of knowledge, not from the position of someone who has only seen a few of his fights and who has copied and pasted the post from another forum like the thread starter has.

^^ He answered this for me.

If you go to saddo boxing, there is a thread there that was posted 2 days ago by a UK poster which is word for word copied into the opening post. I don't think this guy wrote it.

You can do this to anyone's record. I've seen someone do it to Muhammad Ali's record. He went through all of his wins and discredited each one in some way or another.
