Who was the better fighter in your opinion Calzaghe or Tszyu

[GMitchell]

Kostya Tszyu. The man was a ****ing machine, he hit harder than hell. I bet his wife prefers him fisting her to oral, with a right hand like that.

Sorry mate, agree with most of your post but cannot agree here.
Calzaghe did make poor choices and this has affected how the boxing world looks upon him but there is no doubt around his ability.
His skill, speed and movement were superb and he was IMO a far better boxer than Tszyu. Agreed later on in his career he delivered arm punches and even slaps but that was as much down to his hand damage as anything else.

Tszyu had the more natural power.

you don't know anything about kostya tszyu.

kostya has more skills in his pinky than joe could ever dream of.



whenever someone just talks about kostya tszyu's power and not about his boxing skills......i know he doesn't know ANYTHING about kostya.

kostya tszyu became known for his power but kostya had incredible boxing skills.

kostya tszyu as an amateur against vernon forrest shows more skill in this one fight than joe calzaghe has his whole damn career. fuck joe. overrated piece of ****.

Haha threadstarter, how does it feel to FAIL?

How is it that Kostya is better? Because his best win is over Zab Choke Artist Judah? Old Hopkins, Old Roy Jones Jr, Eubank, are better wins then that. Old hopkins still shows he can beat the likes of Pavlik, Tarver, and Winky.

So, you fail for hating on Calzaghe. Zab sucks ****

yep... better fundamentals, more heart, more skills, better resume; on the whole he's better than calz

[Pugilistic™]

I personally rate Tszyu over Calzaghe.

[CiganoBoxer]

Jeff Lacy wasn't even considered a pound for pounder. I think you're wrong.

Don't make me dig up all the old threads ... where every man and his dog state side gave calzaghe more chance of surviving a firing squad than beating Lacy !

There was more than a few on this board (which included me) that couldn't believe the hype around Lacy. Once they started to compare him to a young Tyson, forget it; you knew things went over-board.

That said, Calzaghe gets a ton of credit for taking him to school and exposing him.

Agreed

Lol, OK. I follow and have followed KT and any fighter of any worth my whole life its my passion and IMO Calzaghe is the better boxer with the better skills.

I am not a 12 year who has offered an opinion based on a YouTube clip, my opinion is based on watching both fighters for most of their career therefore in the nicest possible way....**** off and keep your uppercase opinions to yourself.
