Being undefeated in boxing means very little.

[Check]

The first thing that pops out to me is Joe Calzaghe. You can tell just by the way he acts that he has this arrogance about him because he carries an undefeated record. That is fine and all but to everyone else that means very little. Fighters can pad their way to an impressive mark but an unblemished record does not mean you are going to get paid ungodly amounts. Look at all the greats, they all lost and will always be remembered as great boxers.Boxing is all about the risks you take, not if you can go your whole career undefeated. Thats why it pains me to hear the Brits and Joe go crazy that we don't like him because he isnt American. Look at Pac he has losses on his record but is widely respected. It all boils down to who you fight, not if you have never tasted defeat.

"Being undefeated in boxing means very little"

I totally agree with that sentence, unless of course you have cleaned up your weight division by winning every single world title belt there is in it and then fought a world-class fighter in a completely different weight division.

Means more than having 6 losses.

Joe Calzaghe is undefeated because he is the best period.

6 Losses > Pulling out of fights, fighting bums, shot opponents

what if that division is only 20 years old..and the fighters there arnt world class fighters..then you jump a division up to fight a senior citizen world class fighter..get dropped and win a split decision????is that greatness????i mean im just asking

You must be reading my mind. I don't know much about joe and his earlier career, but I know as of the last 5 or more years he has not fought anyone besides lacy, whom had even a remote chance of beating him. calzaghe is tripping off of the numbesr for hius last fight, but that's because no one wants to see him fight the former best. We want to see him figth the best.. he and kelly pavlik were undefeated at the same time , yet he chose to fight roy jones instead, that's some bull****... he and dawson are undefeated now and dawson has been fighting teh best out there, he virtually hasn't anyone to fight why not fight dawson right now and shut all of us haters up!!! Jones dropped him, Hopkins dropped him, dawson will knock him out... I bet my boxingscene account on it...
