Where does Joe Calzaghe stand in your P4P all time list?

[robertzimmerman]

Oh so we can write off people victories now huh amazing.

Damn so you telling me people who say Mayweather beating canelo dont count cause he was drained? or Mayweather victory over Maidana dont count cause of the gloves, or Ward victory over kessler dont count cause of the headbutts, you agree with than huh?

Got it, damn alot of fights dont count.

Seeing as though most forums today have absolute lunatics for members, tell us all if you're joking or not.

Thanks.

Shame Joe didn't have the bollocks to fight Roy when he was prime, instead of fighting the Salem's and the Sobot's of the world.

Quite a lot actually, if an older Calzaghe had fought a prime Froch and beaten him then I doubt we would be having a discussion on who is the better fighter.

Froch's greatest win was arguably against Kessler and people seem to forget that he lost to a prime Kessler before that. Calazaghe was old when he fought a prime Kessler and beat him comfortably.

I'm not a Calzaghe fan, I personally thought he lost to Hopkins and I remember the Bika fight being very close. But he would have boxed Froch's head off.

Froch was fun to watch. But ever since he lost to ward, he became incredibly overrated.

I really don't like Calzaghe. He's arrogant and thick as pigs hit.

He was a bloody good boxer though. Considering he had China hands (he had a solid punch in earlier career and towards the end couldn't even spar) he managed incredibly well with slaps and a monster engine. His slap stats were through the roof. Great chin too.

He might sc**** in to the top 100. Better than all 168ers except Ward (and possibly DeGale if he has a good few more years).

there are still people saying this even though we have video technology and the ability to watch his earlier fights.

Roy is still fighting and winning. Don King told Roy not to ever fight that boy. Well Roy finally did and got his ass lit up.

Watch Joe's fight vs. Eubank you fool.

Watch Joe's fight vs. Eubank you fool.

i have. what am i looking for? power? i didn't see any. he had a completely drained eubank in front of him and he couldn't hurt him at all. even ward ko'd dawson when he came down in weight so are we saying ward has power too?joe couldn't hurt eubank besides the off balance knockdown where eubank wasn't hurt at all. that is not power. kovalev has power. when kovalev hits someone they get discombobulated because kovalev's power is discombobulatingly devasastating. calzaghe never had that so why are you pretending he did? we have video. maybe if video didn't exist you could make that claim but never being able to hurt another fighter kinda hurts your case.

It's been a loooong time since I watched his earlier fights (understandably) but I don't remember him slapping like he did latterly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I do remember him not being able to spar in one of his last fights due to his hands though.
