    The same shit they criticized Calzaghe is the same shit they're praising someone for. It's all about who you like. Standards don't ****ing matter with fanboys.

    Kessler is the perfect example.

      Calzaghe inspires such fear in Americans lol He'd clear out 168-175 if he was prime...

        He was a terrific fighter, but should have fought Hopkins & RJJ much much earlier. It's a shame because he could have won back then and had more credit. I don't even rate the RJJ he fought, he was a wreck.

          Not sure if id say definitely.

          Mayweather
          Pacquaio
          Hopkins
          Morales
          Barrera
          Marquez
          Wlad Klitschko

          There's 7 he's defintely behind.

          Then there's Oscar, Mosley, Wright, Froch, Ward Ermmm I'm missing some aswell that you could argue he's behind.

          So yeah I disagree.

            As a 168lber, without question he ranks #1 on the all time P4P list. The man retired undefeated, while competing his entire career at the same weight class. No other fighter in the history of the sport could claim that feat other than Rocky Marciano.

            However, as far as an all time P4P boxer goes, he doesn't even make it to the top of my 100 best fighters list; Largely due to his weak resume because he refused to simply take risks. He never crossed the pond to fight the best in their prime and has fought almost exclusively in Wales, which has damaged his legacy in the P4P rankings.

                Roy was still in his prime. Hell he's still fighting and winning.

                  Top 50 for sure, top25 maybe. He was greatly under appreciated during his time and is only now gathering the respect.

                  His reputation as a 'slapper' is just as bull**** as Floyd's is as a 'runner'. Joe had excellent work rate and his stamina was second to none.
