Comments Thread For: Pound for Pound – Appreciating Ivan Calderon

[Mexicunt]

I'll be laughing when I see the mexican getting frustrated because he can't land **** on Calderon.

OLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Se jodio segura, le van a romper la cara.

hes skilled no doubt but his best win is Cazares for christ sakes, if i fought taxi cab drivers my whole life and did it imitating roy jones i'd be the greatest fighter that ever lived.

Guys that low in weight just get ignored, I don't understand why.

Well, the article is wrong, the last guy he put to sleep was me watching his last 12 rd's marathon run in the ring. It's true, I slept like a baby and now really hopes Segura takes him out within 2 rd's.
Segura is a huge step up in class after fighting "prospects" in the form of cab drivers for so long.
Segura is a young guy in his prime, by bye Calderon, say welcome to your retirement

If he's that good it will show this weekend and when he fights Gonzalez who has been calling him out forever.

Calderon is nasty with his ****. The whole point is 2 hit and not get hit. That's what he does. Give him his props.

WILLIE PEP (R.I.P.) NICKNAMED "WILL o' the Wisp," for his elusiveness, Pep is one of boxing's all-time great artists. Legend has it that Willie once won a round without throwing a punch (go to ibhof.com click Willie Pep).

A true boxing fan would know that this was probably the purest BOXERS ever at one point. Out of 241 fights he had 65 K.O.'s 26.97 K.O.'s (guessin that's not good enough for todays fans), also keep in mind that he was a fetherweight that walked around 135-140lbs (history books).

Calderon who walks around at 115lbs and fights at 108lbs (currently) has only 6 K.O.s. Yes, a measely 17.14%. People don't like his style. He's always on skates, he's in a marathon, he's boring, he can't punch his way out of a wet paper bag is all you hear.

With all due respect to the legacy of Pep and all of his followers (probably none here). If put side by side (same weight of course), Calderon would beat Pep 10 times out of 10. Although people don't agree to his stlye, simply put. Ivan Calderon, to this date is the "PUREST BOXER EVER".

Willie would have fought Calderon with 30 min notice and he wouldnt lose 10 times in a row. IMO.

This article is the equivalent of trying to polish a turd with words instead of a rag.


Its clear he doesn't like boxing. He's trying to literally kill it 1 "fight" at a time.

I suppose you think the same of Willie Pep, Pernell Whitaker, Jack Johnson, and other defensive All Time Greats (or maybe you haven't even heard of them)?
