Listen....Joe Calzaghe is the best at everything, isn't it? Joe Calzaghe definitely has the most powerful punches, and the fastest hands, isn't it? At the end of the day Joe Calzaghe is a man's man, who happens to have the best defense in boxing, isn't it? Listen......That's what being a true Champion is all about, isn't it?

Joe Calzaghe also applies the most effective pressure in the sport, isn't it? At the end of the day, Joe Calzaghe throws the most accurate punches. That's what being a true Champion is all about, isn't it?

Apparently, I think no fighters out there have heart........

Most heart? Rafael Marquez/Israel Vazquez come to mind off top.

Oscar De La Hoya would disagree with that, and uhhh.. He'd have to respectfully agrue his point, and uhhh.. He's a CHA-mpion.. and uhhhh.. Hed beat Calzaghe if they fought in any of his dreams, and uhhh.........

And uhh.

Gotta disagree a bit, B-Hop's footwork ain't what it used to be, Guzman/ B-hop best defense in boxing right now, can go either way. Hand speed, Zab doesn't have good hand speed anymore, he lost it, I'll say Joan Guzman has the fastest hand speed but if we want to talk about speed+ power Pac/ SSM. While Guzman and Baby Bull can throw really good combinations, so I'll agree there, you made me change my mind, Chad/ JMM throw very effective combinations/ adaptability/ effective pressure...I agree

Yeah, alot of this stuff is hard to say. I can understand the argument that Judah has lost some of his speed. In his prime (great fighter or not) he was quick as all get out. Now, though I think Pacquiao is faster. Though, I can see Guzman being a sec faster, it's a tough call.

In terms of Hopkins, I think has nice footwork, it's subtle, nonetheless, I respect your choice, Manny has really improved his movement/overall balance.
