Originally posted by OKing View PostYou cannot say anything against Calzaghe's unbeaten record as he did come up against some very tough guys (all be it a bit late in his career). Even though Lacy is a joke now he was unbeaten at the time and there was a lot of hype about him. Hopkins has proved to still be a world beater after the Calzaghe fight so that was a solid victory.
The Kessler victory is still a great feat seeing as no-one else has done it since.
I admit 100% that he slaps and I really don't see why his Dad hasn't coached him out of it because it looks appauling and wastes energy. But when he is boxing properly and has the desire that sets Joe above so many fighters - he is pretty much unmatchable. (Apart from prime Jones I would argue)

Love him or hate him but I think Calslappys fussy fast workrate style would give any SMW Fits IMO!
You gotta remember Jones was KOed at age 36 by worse fighters than Zags ...who ever KOed Calslappy at that age !?Last edited by CiganoBoxer; 10-29-2009, 04:56 AM.

Originally posted by OKing View PostNot whooped, thats a lie. But even if we would have been beaten by prime Jones (not sure about prime Bhop), he is still a p4p great of our time. And it is a huge testament to him that he was fighting and winning at 36, which is more than can be said about Jones's and Bernard's 5 losses.
