    I think that Joe Calzaghe will be loved by every boxing fan, years from now

    Yep.

    Statistics play a big part in any sports.

    Years from now, fans will see the 46-0 record and say 'wow what a beast this guy was'.

    No one will yap about his quality of opposition.

    Look at Hagler fighting a SRL who came out of retirement and who's last fight i believe was at WW? if i'm not mistaken.

    You see everyone praising Hagler nowadays. Hearns fought midgets his whole life and he's praised too.

    Duran lost 16 times and he's looked at as a boxing god by many.

    I believe that Joe Calzaghe will be forgiven for going through life and death with a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins, and using a 39 year old Past prime Roy Jones Jr as his career defining fight.

    Besides, staying undefeated in 46 fights it's not an easy task. He'll be ****ed on today but i predict that over the years, fans will say 'man if only there were more fighters like Joe Calzaghe'.

    I'm sure it has happened in the past, where a fighter gets ****ted on while they're active then all of a sudden in 20 years they are seen as the saviors of Boxing.

          Not bothered about Calzaghe and how good he is. But why the **** do you bring in Duran, Hagler and Hearns. Then say that their records were padded and that's why everyone thinks they're so good.

          Duran lost 16 times and he's looked at as a boxing god by many.
          How many times has SRR lost?

                No. Demise. You misunderstood, i did not say their records were padded, or trying to say they're not ATG's. However, take it as you want.

                But please don't make this thread look like a hate thread towards any fighter. Because if you read it carefully, it's clearly not a hate thread towards any fighter.

                  You're saying that because of Calzaghe's 46 - 0 record, he'll look amazing in about 40 years. Then you said look at Duran, he's got 16 losses and he's viewed by some as a boxing God.

                  Then saying that because Hagler lost a bull**** decision to SRL, it's strange to see people praising him all the time. Then **** on about Hearns fighting midgets and get praised for that.

                    I doubt he will be loved by everyone, because he just doesn't have the type of style that attracts a lot of fans.
