Haha
This should be fun

The irony of a Joe Calzaghe fan bashing some early accomplishments of another fighter.

Golovkin/Jacobs is the stage where Joe finally fought Lacy. Prior to that, Joe's career was less stellar than Golovkin's.

whats your point.....

[therealpugilist]

whats your point.....

i guess he is pointing out how unimpressive his competition has been.....

This is dumb - shouldnt even respond

What's your definition of "natural MW"?

Im guessing that if anyone has ever started at a weight other than MW, he's not a "natural MW" in your opinion.

How are Geale, Lemeiux & Rubio not natural MWs? The entire noteworthy part of their careers have been at MW.

and those were just the ones of the top of my head. I suspect that there are others.

Now, Im not saying his resume is stellar - It lacks top names.

That's why I don't consider him THE CHAMP at MW - yet. On March 18 we'll find out who the champ is, or is Jacobs not a top "natural MW"

[-Freddy-]

GGG's resume is ****.

End thread. LOL.

[SensFullViolenc]

Add Martin Murray to the list of dudes who apparently aren't "natural MWs", even though his entire noteworthy career has been at MW -- and now at SMW.

GGGs resume isn't ****. Its not particularly stellar either. He's fought and beat many top ten dudes at MW. But he lacks a really good name.

That's why it will take beating the #2 dude at MW (and a natural MW) for me to consider him THE MAN at MW.

and if were comparing resumes at MW, how many "natural MWs" has Canelo fought?

[j0zef]

Absolutely ******ed thread. What's a 'natural middleweight'? Lemieux is somehow not a natural MW because he fought at 154 when he was 20 years old? Monroe is not a MW because he's fought at 155 when he started his career? Geale is not a MW because he fought at less than 160 a decade ago?

Fact - when Golovkin was 19years old he fought at Welterweight.

You trolls are trying way too hard now.
