Is Calzaghe the Greatest of All Time?

[hammerhiem]

Disagree............Calzaghe is clearly to be placed higher than Erik Morales, and look where you have him. Keep it real.

Morales has wins over Prime MAB and Prime Pac, that Alone puts him above Calzaghe.

lets stack them up.

Morales:

3 weight World champion.

WBC/WBO Super Bantumweight with 9 defences.

WBC Featherweight with 5 defences

WBC/IBF Super featherweight

Best wins: Molina, Jnr Jones, McCullough, MAB, In Jin Chi, Pacquiao, Ayala, Jesus Charvez.

Involved in two of the greatest trilogies of all time with MAB and Pac.

Was 41-0 when he lost to MAB the first time 47-1 the second time.


Calzaghe:

1 weight world champion

WBO/WBC/WBA/IBF Super Middleweight World champion. 21 defences

Best wins: Eubank, Kessler, Hopkins, Reid, Lacy, Mitchell, Brewer, Woodhall.

if you put Calzaghe above Morales based on that, you need to stop posting about boxing because frankly you know nothing about the sport, Period.

So your putting Morales' win over Jr.Jones over Calzaghe's win over Hopkins?? LOL! No way Morales holds more water than Calzaghe. Sorry. Not even close.

I put Beating prime MAB over beating 43 year old hopkins.

Morales's wins over Pac and MAB are better than anything Calzaghe has.

Best wins in order

Morales Vs MAB
Morales Vs Pac
Calzaghe Vs Hopkins
Morales Vs Ayala
Morales Vs Molina
Calzaghe Vs Eubank
Morales Vs jnr Jones
Calzaghe Vs Kessler
Morales Vs In Jin Chi
Calzaghe Vs Lacy
Morales vs Chavez

the rest.

No way. And Morales didn't ever rule his division, nor did he have a lengthy championship reign. Not to mention that he was beaten several times.

There was nothing controversial about Calzaghe's victory over Hopkins, his domination of Kessler, and his total destruction of Roy Jones Jr.

That was a hall of fame run...............don't be biased for irrelevant reasons.

Let me debunk the Eubank win

Eubank was past his prime when Calzaghe got to him. He was 4-2 when he fought Calzaghe. Eubank took the fight at short notice. He was planning to fight at 175. Just to make 168, Eubank entered a 2 week weight draining regime just to make weight. He never won a fight again. Eubank wasn't even a good win.

Same thing applies to RJJ. Tarver and Johnson disposed of RJJ better than Calzaghe could. Hopkins win is debatable
