Did you know that CALZAGHE beat CHRIS BYRD in amateurs?

[LA BAD BOY]

You ******s talk like he didnt do **** in PRO.
He beat LACY,EUBANK,BYRON,HOPKINS,KESSLER,JONES JR. as pro.

[Oasis_Lad]

but hopkins career was much more glorious.
.

No, No it wasn't.

[WhoreUs]

For those ******s who thinks that CALZAGHE is overrated.
CHRIS BYRD Olympic silver medalist with 200+ fights and Calzaghe beat him.

shame calzaghe never went pro.

[WhoreUs]

darchinyan or calzaghe?

Who or what is a Byron?? So sort of mythical beast in Wales.

Calzaghe resume:
Shot weight drained Eubank who took the fight at short notice
Kessler
Lacy, who never done anything in the sport
Hopkins, in a disputed win
RJJ, he couldn't KO him. Even Tarver and Johnson were able too

[WhoreUs]

calzaghe didnt have much appeal outside of his own country until his last couple of fights. just when people got to know him, he retired. alot of people felt that he was over rated because of this. aside from fanboys, no one thinks calzaghe is higher all time than the likes of leonard, hearns, duran, or even hopkins. he may have beaten hopkins, but hopkins career was much more glorious. calzaghe didnt get on top until he was getting older. he retired at the right time, one can only speculate as to if he would have beaten more great fighters should he have fought them.

glorious is not what i would call most of his fights.

No, No it wasn't.

yes it was, Hopkins beat real Contenders from a Real Belt (IBF) while Calzaghe was fighting Bums with his (WBO) belt for all those years. Hopkins beat Calzaghe in the fight, and Calzaghe knows it, thats why theres no rematch.

The Jones fight shouldn't even be put on Calzaghe Resume because he fought an Old Jones Jr. Even tho i feel Jones is overrated All Time, Jone would easily knock out Calzaghe within 6 rounds in the late 90's and Hopkins would Execute him within 11 in the late 90's early 2000's.

Calzaghe two biggest wins over Prime opponents are Mikkel Kessler and Jeff Lacy, two boxers that haven't did **** before and after calzaghes fights. Then his Win over Hopkins is Disputed (it was an ugly way to get a win) and many feel Hopkins won because Calzaghe threw the ugliest punches ever. His Roy Jones win aint **** to me. Any C level and up fighters can beat Roy Jones right now. And all Calzaghe will be remembered for is being a C Level fighter.

Glorious is beating a Undefeated Trinidad when the odds where against him.
Glorious is having the most middleweight title defenses
Glorious is being above 40, jumping up 2 weight classes and out classing Tarver
Glorious is being above 40 and making a undefeated Pavlik, look like a kid
Glorious is having every major middleweight belt
Glorious is making Calzaghe look like a fool at 43.

It could go on and onh

jeff lacy and charles brewer were both ibf champs at 168.

beating tito was glorious.

his 160 reign is overrated and probably one of the weakest eras ever at 160. in fact 168 was a better division than 160 during hopkins reign.

tarver is ****e.

yes pavlik is a great light heavyweight.

unifying the belts was a good thing.

calzaghe won that fight.
