Is Calzaghe the Greatest of All Time?

[badboypeenoy]

Whatever makes you happy. In the end, how people will remember him and choose to remember him will prevail. There are a lot of boxers in the hall of fame and ATG lists that casual fans don't even know or haven't seen fight.

I gotta take a leak.

Daggum won't attack the post properly, he's just say "Umm Calzaghe is a bum, Hopkins beat him, He's crap, glass chin, fights like a girl"

hes kind of funny though, the way he goes about it. a little more creative than your general Calzaghe hater.
I hope he posts on this.

no, he didnt. 51-0. you lose. which doesnt make him near the best ever, but hey, you brought up these statistics in the first place...

the fact that you put Hearns, Ez Charles, Moore below Calzaghe and Marciano makes my head explode.

Yeah...throw Lopez in too...for good measure.

Ricardo Lopez? sigh.

I summon daggum to attack the rest of your post.

daggum attack mode activated! i still love the slappie fans saying calzaghe has a granite chin. hasn't that myth been disproven by now. iron chinned people don't get dropped by kabery salem type opponents and old men.

Joe Calzaghe is about #99 in the greatest of all time.

That's more to do with his defence.

I dislike Slappy as much as you but he's got a solid chin. His powers of recovery are great.

He is definately a top 100 ATG. Top 60? Perhaps. It is too hard to say though. THere have just been two many great fighters over the last 100 years to accurately place everyone.

It's hard to argue about Calzaghe's defense. Overall it's great. I don't know if it's "the greatest", but it's very, very, good. Nobody's gotten to him yet.
