Tszyu no doubt. Very skilled fighter. Hatton was around his prime tszyu away his prime. Not much fighters wanted to fight tszyu at his prime.Comment

All 46 fighters Calzaghe fought would KO your tiny ass out. Even the one you consider the biggest bum on his resume. And even the bums on his resume put are better fighters the most of the people tua foughtComment

I agree. Tszyu was a better fighter and would win in the pound for pound sense. Especially as Calzaghe is a southpaw and Tszyu had a laser for southpaws. But, in the overall scheme Calzaghe is undefeated, two weight world champion and beat the better fighters in Hopkins and Jones Jr (apart from Chavez who was in about the same state as Jones) even though Tszyu actually faced the much better fighters across his career. The names of those two are bigger than the guys Tszyu fought apart from Chavez.Comment

too bad kostya wasn't with warren.I agree. Tszyu was a better fighter and would win in the pound for pound sense. Especially as Calzaghe is a southpaw and Tszyu had a laser for southpaws. But, in the overall scheme Calzaghe is undefeated, two weight world champion and beat the better fighters in Hopkins and Jones Jr (apart from Chavez who was in about the same state as Jones) even though Tszyu actually faced the much better fighters across his career.

he could have retired 34-0 capping it off with wins over duran and pryor in 2005.
kostya could have been the greatest!Comment

That's very arguable. Over the course of both guys careers I would say that Tszyu fought the much better opposition. That's my opinion anyway.
Calzaghe: Jones, Hopkins, Eubank, Kessler, Lacy, Reid etc.
Tszyu: Chavez, Judah, Mitchell, Gonzales, R. Mayweather, Ruelas, Bramble, LaPorte, Leija, Grove, Rodriguez etc.
Oh yeah, and Calzaghe and Tszyu had the exact same amount of time at the top as champion. Tszyu was a champion from 1995 to 2005 and Calzaghe was champion from 1997 to 2007. That is of course not including his fight with Hopkins which was not actually for any title at all. Well, apart from the Ring 'title' but I don't know if that counts. Sort of I guess.Last edited by BennyST; 04-02-2009, 05:01 AM.Comment

wasn't laporte like his 4th fight or something?That's very arguable. Over the course of both guys careers I would say that Tszyu fought the much better opposition. That's my opinion anyway.
Calzaghe: Jones, Hopkins, Eubank, Kessler, Lacy, Reid etc.
Tszyu: Chavez, Judah, Mitchell, Gonzales, R. Mayweather, Ruelas, Bramble, LaPorte, Leija, Grove, Rodriguez etc.
i know laporte wasn't a natural 140 guy and a bit shopworn but to take on a vet like that when you're barely starting out is very impressive.
if only 140 was a deeper division.Comment
