Only one question for Calzaghe fans

[TheGreatA]

A prime Eubank is the key word...

Johnson does rate over Kessler, you have to be a fool not to say so. Hopkins was the only man to stop and dominate Johnson in his prime. Who did Kessler beat that equals Jones?

To be honest Johnson wasn't in Kessler's class WHEN he fought Hopkins. Bernard is still the only man to stop him but Johnson was not the same fighter in 1997 as he was in 2004 for example.

Was about to say the same thing.

Tarver is not better than Eubank

The other two are debatable

Eubank was in many wars before he faced Calzaghe, and was not in his prime. It was a great win none the less because Calzaghe lacked experience but Tarver was better than that version of Eubank.

You mean the Tarver that blew up to 200lbs to film Rocky and put in such a horrendous performance that people thought he was drugged?

THAT Tarver?

[Edward Hitler]

are you on crack? besides emanual stuart no one else really gives calzaghe credit if you watch his fight with jones you could hear the announcers trying to downplay calzaghe's performance like most non europeans do by commenting on how this is not the same roy we know, this is not a prime roy jones, i'm not sure if calzaghe would beat roy jones in his prime, when roy was in his prime he was somethin special

thank you this is what ive been trying to say for about an hour... (no one else really gives calzaghe credit if you watch his fight with jones you could hear the announcers trying to downplay calzaghe's performance like most non europeans do by commenting on how this is not the same roy we know).... im not saying that all americans hate english like some are trying to make out and in not saying nationality is anything to do with anythin but i dont think joe gets the respect he deserves form ppl you can say what you like about the man but like i said b4 ask the question whos beaten him .. exactly no1

Yes, the one coming off wins over Jones and Johnson.

THAT Tarver.

The one that was ranked pound for pound.

THAT Tarver.

True, but the way he dominated him in a brilliant boxing expedition surely deserves some credit.

[letsgobrady]

Dude, Calzaghe is ranked by all U.S. magazines, sites and other publications in the top three pound for pound.

What kind of respect do you feel he doesn't get that they should give? Blow jobs?

how could he not be ranked? he's undefeated and he beat everyones precious i'm from the bottom take it to the yard bernard hopkins so if he wasn't ranked it would just be an utter disgrace.
whenever you hear someone talkin about calzaghe it hardly ever good and to make the p4p rankings he had to go through more than most fighters.
marquez was on the p4p list with 1 good win in barerra, why was mijares on the top 10 and why is vasquez on the p4p?

[hammerhiem]

Carl thompson will disagree with you Enemy/Friend

and so do I.

Eubank in the Cal fight >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tarver in the BHop fight.

That said BHop resume >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Calzaghe's resume.

Eubank is Calzaghes 2nd best win and tarver is Bhop's like 8th or 9th

Let's wait and see what Kessler does with the rest of his career.
