Is Calzaghe the most OVERRATED fighter of this era?

[shade darkar]

Carl Froch is a legend?

thats just the tip of the iceberg!

[Lead Cenobite]

The Hopkins win is still a good win, past prime or not. The Jones fight was just a money fight and that's it.

barely a win

[Adamantium]

barely a win

lmao

[JM1]

hes not. i think calzaghe could have accomplished more

Mayweather's biggest wins have all been KTFO too, think about that.

Let's see.

Mayweather has beaten:

Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo(x2)
Oscar De La Hoya
Juan Manuel Marquez
Zab Judah
Arturo Gatti
Carlos Manuel Baldomir
Ricky Hatton

Mayweather's resume is BY FAR better than Joe Calzaghe, also add the fact that Mayweather is a 5 division weight champ while calzaghe only a 1 division weight champ.

When was the last time Hopkins stopped anyone over 160lbs.

we are TALKING about a PRIME bernard Hopkins. Hopkins in his Prime was TKO'd and KO'ing all the top contenders at MW.

after fighting ROy Jones in his next 16 fights he TKO'd or KO'd 11/16 opponents and if you go to 22 fights, he TKO'd or KO'd 14.
A Prime Hopkins is the HOpkins that fought Glen Johnson, Echols, Robert Allen 2, Simon Brown, and his LAST prime performance was Tito. after that he started becoming the more defensive fighter slowly and slowly because he isn't young anymore.

He dominated most of the other fighters and Punished them for all 12 rounds. The first Echols fight, HOpkins destroyed Echols and was on the verge of stopping him. Echols clearly didn't have his legs but he got the UD.

most of the fighters he faced went up to be Contenders at 168 like Echols, Johnson, etc.

Plus Super Middleweight wasn't a GOOD division 10 years ago. I believe Hopkins could have moved up easily because most of his defeats went up and fought good fights agaisnt the champs of that division.

barely a win

I wouldn't even count that as a win.

[Clint650]

i say no.

i also say you need to change the record.

i agree. this topic is done. Joe is a great boxer. let's just leave it at that.

Bernard Hopkins is a fraud.

Bernard Hopkins beat:

Felix Trinidad(prime)
Antonio Tarver(prime)
Glen Johnson(prime)
Kelly Pavlik(prime)
William Joppy(prime)
Winky Wright
Oscar De La Hoya

His losses against Taylor and Calzaghe are disputed and could have gone either way.

B-Hop's resume is BY FAR better than Calzaghe.

i agree. this topic is done. Joe is a great boxer. let's just leave it at that.

as great as Sven ottke and Zsolt Erdei.
