Comments Thread For: Joe Calzaghe named as the greatest fighter in British boxing history

[NihonJim]

On achievement I think Britain’s best ever boxer was Lennox followed by Randolph Turpin, Lloyd Honeyghan, Froch and then Calzaghe. On ability, I think Naseem by a mile, followed by Buchanan, Honeyghan and then Calzaghe. If you mash the lists together Calzaghe might justifiably come out top because he is on both lists

Brook and Fury would rank fairly high for me, neither reached their full potential due to our of the ring shenanigans and/or poor career decisions, however at their best their ability was up there

danny green beat roy jones...so? when people mention beating a shot jones jr as if that proves someones greatness...mind bobbling.

Do you say this "mind bobbling" thing as a joke? Or are you actually not aware that the term is mind boggling, and not bobbling?

I've seen you use it a few times, assumed it was said as a joke. But now I'm thinking I might be giving you too much credit as you are legit that retarded that you'd say something like that.

Pretty harsh to say the least

You can’t find anything of any value to say, so you have a go at a MoFo for saying’mind bobbling’. Sheet you one dumb, thick, ignorant MoFo. I actually prefer’mind bobbling’ to ‘mind boggling’ I think it is more evocative, I will use ‘mind boggling’ all the time from now on

Sorry
I meant I will use ‘mind bobbling’ from now on. I’m drunk as a man can be

...I'm quite sure "mind bobbling" is not an expression. As opposed to "mind boggling", which is. I.e The mind is boggled; (of a person or their mind) be astonished or baffled when trying to imagine something.

Someone's mind can't be bobbled; Which means to to fumble or mishandle something. That doesn't make sense.

So I'd say that information is in fact, of value.

Nihonjim,no, sorry we’re talking about the best ever here so no Tyson Fury and definitely no Kell Brook. I think Ken Buchanan was the best stylist Britain ever produced, but Prince Naz did stuff that nobody else had or could ever do. He was,to put it kindly, a schmuck, but he was a schmuck with unbelievable skills and speed. He truly was a special schmuck

[Light_Speed]

Near expiring versions of Roy Jones & Hopkins. Kessler was his best win. I’d take Lennox Lewis & Froch over JC off the top of my head.

Near expiring version of Hopkins? Is that why he went on to beat Pavlik and Pascal after the Calzaghe fight?

Khan???

Ok then.

Funny how out of those 5 you took offence at Khan being in the list and not the 20 year old Itauma with 0 top 15 opponents on his resume.

Daggum, in fairness, while I think the elevation of Calzaghe is ludicrous, RJJ was past his peak but not shot when he fought Joe whereas he was shot to pieces when he fought Danny Green. I am trying to be fair here

Being fair is to acknowledge Roy Jones was 40 years old when he lost to Calzaghe.

Also, for Roy, he was coming off KO losses to guys that would have never beaten him in his prime.
Prior to facing Joe, Roy was so in his prime fighting guys like Prince Badi Ajamu and Anthony Hanshaw (do you even know who these guys are?).

Only Brits believe Calzaghe would have beaten a prime Roy. There are a ton of Brits who believe Floyd ducked a rematch with Hatton.
