Kessler vs. Larsen canceled

[Sugar May Floyd]

I don't know, but eventually they did fight, and Calzaghe at least tried to get the bout made earlier. His win over Bernard is still one of Joe's best victories to date regardless of what the haters say.

His best win. Joe Calzaghe best win is a disputed victory over Hopkins. Pretty weak

Tell me about it. What annoys me about Calzaghe haters is that they seem to have no knowledge about his career. It appears as if they look at boxrec and assume he dodged challenges. He could have done more with his career, but it wasn't as if all the big challenges in/around his weight class were chasing him with irresistible offers that he kept rejecting.

Agreed

His best win was Chris Eubank....

As opposed to the boxer in your avatar, who has how many victories over ATG's? The Hopkins fight was close and Hopkins may have been 43, been he is still elite level, easily Top 5 P4P.

Oscar is the only ATG he fought.

Corrales Judah Hatton Castillo all P4P fighter that Mayweather beat.

Name another P4P fighter Calzaghe beat who was in his prime??

Lacy NO
Kessler NO
Eubank NO
Tocker Pudwill YES

Calzaghe wasn't in his prime when he retired.

His best win was Chris Eubank....

Hopkins was coming off a win over Winky and Tarver and beat Pavlik after Calzaghe fight.

Eubank was 4-2 before he fought Calzaghe. Had two fights at 175 before Calzgahe fight. Took the fight at short notice. He was planning to fight at 175 for WBC title but had to enter a 2 week weight draining regime to make weight. Eubank never won a fight again

Hopkins 43 > Any version of Eubank FACT


Hopkins is the only fighter who did something after Calzaghe. Lacy NO Kessler NO

And what Prime fighters did he fight in his prime worth mentioning??? Funny Mayweather has a better resume I wonder why

It had the most significance. He gained the WBO from that fight and went to defend it over 20 times..... Cal was green and Eubank had buckets of experience. It was a great win regardless of your opinion.

[hookoutofhell]

i really think kessler should just take the fight with jonhson. maybe try and make it at 173 and that way he can get a bigger purse, hes such a good fighter please god dont let him take on another mandatory.

if he can't get the fight with johnson what about miranda or bika both are big names - hell even lacy or jean-pascal will do!!!
