Richie Woodhall????

Atleast Mullings beat a shot Norris to get his rise to fame.

Woodhall never had a rise to fame Let's not forget that Woodhall was past his best at that point.

Here's the thing, look at the names been brought up outside of Calzaghe's best wins; Shieka, Brewer, Reid and Riche ****ing Woodhall (I literally laughed out loud when Riche get's brought into the converstation) and that is entirely my point.

I have said on so many occasions that I don't think Winky has the better resume. Nor do I think he has a good one.

But, look at their resumes, Calzaghe's is clearly not signifcantly better.

That's the key word. And that's the only problem I've had with your statment this entire thread.

It's unfortunate that Woodhall didn't have a shot champ to beat on and add to his resume but either way, he is rated way higher than Keith Mullings. Past his best? At least he had one lol. And along the line we go. But anyway, we agree on the main point. I guess you see it close but clear where as I see it clear .

Nice to see you fellas have a good debate without the insults and profane language. That's what I like to see.

I'm going to have a drink to that

Nice to see some knowledgable posters in here. Even my man daggum lol. Cheers.

After Mayweather's retirement (after Hatton fight), Calzaghe was considered the P4P number 1 (Ring magazine had him at number 2 behind Pac, but most purists had Calzaghe at number 1). That speaks volumes in itself.

His longevity and overall body of work mean that I'm going with Calzaghe. But Winky was a beast in his prime. Calzaghe is the GOAT SMW and one of the greatest Brits of all time. Winky should get in to the HoF, but I don't think he'd be first ballot, unlike Joe, who is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and ATG.

Calzaghe could probably come out of retirement and beat most Cruiserweights. I don't think Winky will be relevant though when he makes his come-back.

how can you say "most" purists had him at number 1. i certainly doubt that seeing as how "most" purists thought he lost to hopkins. why would they have a guy who just lost as p4p number 1? do you even know what you are saying or are you just making things up? yeah im sure some loon like bunce thought calzaghe was number 1 but he thought lockett would take out pavlik. bunce=no credibility uk homer

i like the touch at the bottom. calzaghe fans can't help it. they need to mention fantasy fights in every single one of their posts because reality isn't too kind to joe.

Woodhall probably would have lost had there been a shot former champ for him to fight.

I'd pick the Eubank Calzaghe beat over Richie Woodhall.

Woodhall didn't really have a best either. Everytime he remotely stepped up he lost. Woodhall was just a terrible fighter, terrible.

The fact Woodhall has been mentioned further clarifies how bad Calzaghe's resume truley is.

And I agreed with the main point on many very first post. Not a single post in this thread read's 'I think Wright has a better resume than Calzaghe'.

It's just clearly not significantly better. Both have 2 good wins that are a level above the amassment of average - poor wins.

I'd pick Eubank over Mullings too . Again, you can run down the list name by name and it continues. I'd say it's 8-4 Calzaghe over Wright by UD. You see it 7-5 but don't like that one round I think could be awarded to Joe for 9-3...I need help .

Well yeah I'd pick Eubank over Mullings considering Eubank was pretty much a Light heavyweight at that time

I think 7-5 is absolutely **** on, resume Vs resume.

Which isn't siginificantly better.

Better? Yes.

Signifcantly? No.

[AlwaysOnTop]

LOL. How weak his resume is compared to...Winky's? Come on. Winky's resume is below that.

C'mon now Chicken George...Even your shufflin' as.s knows better than that.

[White_Knight]

Why are these threads always comparing a black fighter to a white fighter?
