If eny1 had been a hardcoreboxing fan for 100 years then calzaghe wouldnt make top 200 but as we have hardly seen most of the best eras in boxing and from the fighters we have seen he is top 50 but i know he shouldnt be no where near as close as he is but from what i have seen as fighters top 50.Us as boxing fans should never try ranking atg ourselves as we havnt even lived in the eras of the greats if we had we would have been able to have seen all the good,great and legend fighters from every era and then make our own top 100 atg list.
Is calzaghe top 20

And that's nothing bad, it be in the top 100 or even 200 boxers ever?
That's great.
think about how many boxers there have been, **** top 300 is not too shabbyComment

I'm not questioning Joe Louis' credentials, in fact i have him at #4 on my all time heavyweight list, but the vast majority of the guys he fought, whether they were top 10, top 3, or whatever, had multiple losses, several with as many as 30 or more losses. Only the very top guys had 5-6 losses or so. Like Ezzard Charles for example.
and having a 'pretty' looking record doesnt make you a good fighter. Someone like Freddie Pendleton for example with his 26 losses was still way better than someone like Deontay Wilder, whos 18-0 with 18 KOs.Comment

Calzaghe top 20 ATG?
SMH and sadly too!
He was a good fighter who could do a bit of everything but cmon man, are you serious? Top 20? You gotta be ****ing kidding me. I honestly think that any boxing historian who isnt from the UK would laugh at you out loud and probably point at you too while laughing.
Calzaghe being in the top 20 is as ridiculous as other idiots trying to convince me that Floyd and Pac are better than Sugar Ray Robinson.Comment

his own promoter said calzaghe only wanted easy fights. joe said jones was too good for him. he pretended like hopkins was ducking him but in court testimony warren said the fight was going to take place in wales and calzaghe would make more than hopkins. obviously not a realistic deal. he ducked pavlik and dawson to fight shot jones jr. he even ducked glen johnson 3 times.Last edited by daggum; 09-09-2011, 03:32 PM.Comment

calzaghe was gifted tons of outrageous stoppages and was gifted against reid and hopkins so it's pretty equal. both guys were illegitimate. it's fitting they both ended their careers with 21 title defenses. equal all the way.Comment
