Joe Calzaghe Is A Top 10 ATG FIGHTER

[Squizz]

skill level, no contest floyd is the better man. but, i'd say calzaghe has the better resume, regardless if he fought shot fighters, he still fought them. i gave him big credit for fighting jeff lacy back when lacy was comin up.

Aw come on man. Floyd's win over Corrales was head and shoulders better than ANYTHING Calzaghe has ever done. (And once again, I'm a Calzaghe fan.) This on top of wins over:

Castillo (x2 whether u like it or not)
Mosely
Hatton
Judah
Oscar
Gatti (For what it's worth)
Baldomir (Once again, for what it's worth)

Floyd has won world titles in five weight classes, where as Joe has won world titles in two. There really is no comparing the two..........Floyd is light years ahead of Joe in terms of resume, in particular, p4p.

Great thread.

One thing I'd add - head to head Joey would beat the wifebeater Ray Robinson down with his slick southpaw style. Let's face it, if Joey had been born in an era where fighters weren't prevented from padding their records with 10 bums and 5 cans a month he'd be the GOAT right now.

An over-the-hill RJJ knocked Calzaghe down.

failbait threads are so sad.

Joey receives alot of hate on this forum because most posters here act on their racist emotions and can't keep a straight head. They like to say that Bernard Hopkins was old and past prime, but Hopkins is like wine and gets better with age - he proved this against Kelly Pavlik, even thought Kelly was fighting above his weightclass.

And a host of other names. Without a doubt, the greatest Super-Middleweight of All-Time & a P4P Top 10 fighter.

You definitely have got to stop shooting up all of the crystal meth...it's making you quite delusional. When it comes of Joe Calzaghe, his legacy and ranking have nothing to do with race. Without a doubt was one of the best fighters that we have seen come of out of the UK and one of the greatest to step into the ring. But by far he is not THE BEST ALL-TIME Super Middle. No Way! If we go by his potential, his style of fighting, and fight charisma along with his record we could put in the top five or top ten. But we weren't able to see all of the things put together against tough opposition. Of the fights that you listed, we can only see two for sure Hall of Famers and two real clearly accomplished champions. Even the fights against Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins which were good displays of dominance, but everyone who is honest knows that both of those guys have seen their better days a long time ago. Kessler is a good tough fighter but he is not a proven champion and is not currently on the path of being a hall of famer. Jeff Lacy was a joke. Bika is tough, but lacks pure boxing skills and when he does wins it is by pure heart and punishing power that he uses wildly and uncontrolled. Why would you even dare to put Robin Reid's name along with Jones and Hopkins...I guess only because he dominated him. Reid is a nobody who loss to Jeff Lacy. If you a die hard Calzaghe fan that's cool, but you've taken it too far. Calzaghe is good...damn good, but he retired before he could really solidify he All-Time Greatest Legacy.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are both Greater then Calzghe. Hell, if he keeps it up, Sergio Martinez will finish Greater then Joe "Blow" 2.

[oaklandstephen]

Calzaghe was good but not a good as he could of been. Ward will surpass him in like 3 years.

[rambov]

And he has the best nickname "calslappy"

I really like that name. I think about it all the time.
