    how about andre berto larry? is he a great fighter who has fought everybody?

    if you are undefeated, chances are you havent fought enough great fighters in their prime.

    that's a ****ing fact.

      this is exactly what im talking about. this is what happens when you dont know your boxing history.

      what he doesnt know about rocky marciano was that all of his notable wins came against past prime opponents. much like his joe calzaghe comparison.

      rocky marciano's average age of opponents was something like close to mid 30s. even his undefeated record is flawed. his fight vs ezzard charles was allowed to continue even though he had a grotesque cut on his nose. it was allowed to continue in order to preserve his undefeated record as a white heavyweight champion in a racist time period in america.

      what's marciano's notable win? old, fat, shot, joe loius?

      what's calzaghe's most notable wins? a combined 80 plus year olds hopkins & jones jr.?


      you want to talk about ricardo lopez? sure great fighter, hall of famer. but far from the greatest. he hid in minimum weight avoiding challenges vs chiquita gonzales, michael carbajal, kasoi galaxy, & a host of challenges at flyweight & light flyweight. he only moved up after those guys moved up.


      you look at every undefeated fighter through out boxing history & there's a reason why they were undefeated. not because they were so great, but they cherry picked opponents and or didnt challenge the best.

          then why did you mention him first? i was only replying to you when you said mayweather, calzaghe, and lopez never avoided anyone when that is blatantly untrue. you can come up with all the excuses you want about not being a ppv draw, living in puerto rico, being on roids, opponents ducking floyd etc... but floyd could have made those fights happen if he really wanted and he didn't want them to happen. thus his undefeated record is extremely suspect cause it wasn't earned fighting the best.

                Yo I had Calderon over Segura handily. I'm not gonna sit here and say that Calderon just lost his legs now after the loss. He got fucked up and that's that. Prime or not, he just met his match.

                  Ok....duly noted?

                  I personally thought it was a 50/50 fight.

                  Saying Calderon has been slipping is not a slight on Segura, it's merely fact.

                  A slipping Calderon is still better than 90% of the fighters out there. Segura deserves major props, I never said he didn't.

                  Just saying there have been signs of Calderon slipping since the second Cazeras fight. And I've been saying that before this fight and I stand by it.

                    savorduhflavor PLEASE shut the **** up.




                    All this time going into the fight everyone keep saying Calderon was going to put a boxing clinic and school Segura, The he was going to win without breaking a sweat. He gets STOPPED for the first time in his career in eight rounds by a fighter who took the fight on SHORT NOTICE, Went to Puerto Rico and gave him his first L by KO and you guys are coming up with excuses now? Shut the **** up already.

                      Listen child, I don't give a **** what other people said. I care what I said, and I always thought this was a tough fight for Calderon.

                      Grow up son. Not everyone buys into the whole PR/Mexico ****. You running around just talking about nationalistic bull****. Segura picked up a huge win, no doubt. All you're talking about is Mexico this, Puerto Rico that, so many people thought Calderon was gonna put on a clinic, blah blah blah. Are you that lonely and desperate that you need to throw **** in people's faces? Especially me who at no point said I thought Calderon was gonna easily outbox Segura?

                      You're like a little 6 year old, it's sad.
