      calzaghe cause most of his fights were fixed. have you seen most of his so called "ko's" complete bull****. sometimes he's not even throwing punches and the ref stops it. sometimes the other guys hitting calzaghe and the ref stops it lol! he also has one of the most disgusting styles in boxing history that turned off most fans. just look at his ratings. no one wants to see amateur woman slapboxing.

      not to mention he ducked good fighters and pulled out of fights with glen johnson numerous times who surely would have crushed him. then he has the gall to say everyone ducked him when he stayed in the crummy supermiddle division his entire career.

      if your dream is to fight roy jones you don't stay in solitary confinement fighting tomato cans. you move up, get ranked and keep on roy till he fights you. tarver did it. calzaghe is a complete douchebag. calls himself the legend killer but then says hopkins isn't a legend. uhhhh so which legend did you kill then joe? manfredo? roy jones ghost?

      when you have the same resume as sven ottke. you can't be great. they should make that fight. ottke by ko.

        Mayweather imo. He was the flag bearer for the sport, and he did nothing but hide from his biggest challenges. He even retired in his prime.
        Mayweather.

        He should at the very least have rematched DLH.

            To be honest, I don't think they deserve much critiscm either way. They are hated on here a lot, but both are great boxers were pretty good resumes. It's just Mayweather really needed to fight Cotto. Much more then Calzaghe needed to fight Hopkins in a rematch or Dawson.

              What annoys me most about Mayweather is the that there have been previous world champions like Larry Holmes who was victim, because of the lack of quality around his weight division, and even though you knew he would of been willing to fight anyone to legitmize himself, he just did not have the competition.

              Floyd does not have a deep pool of talent like Duran.Leonard etc, but there was a point when the WW division had enough good fighters to cement him as a truly exceptional fighter, but he chose to walk away from it.

                lol the story of calzaghe's career. talking tough and saying everyone ducked him. but at the end of the day the fights never got made. keep buying into his lies. ottke fought glen johnson. calzaghe refused to step into the ring with glen johnson.

                      Ottke pwned Glen Johnson. No controversy. Ottke is an ATG.
