You've crossed that line now. Now you are going to have a bunch of Welsh Ronnie Pickerings giving you red K LOL

You traded Anthony Rizzo for someone Cuban bum who's name I can't even remember. Shame on you!

Calzaghe is a weird one, he was rated 2 or 3 in most p4p lists, won titles at 2 weights and still probably underachieved in some ways. He never stepped up enough earlier in his career at his physical peak. He showed when he did step up like fighting and beating an undefeated Kessler that he was the real deal...he just didn't do it enough. He was probably past his best then too but we never really got to see his best.

If he lacks greatness, i believe it's mostly down to lack of ambition to prove it, because he had the ability. Then again, in fairness he was sign as quite high risk/low reward around the early 2000's when he should have been in is prime. He never got real recognition until he was about mid 30's.

Joe should have fought Michalzwki TBH back when the Russian had some gas left in 02.

Don't really know. But Michalzwki was a very strong fighter. Unified the WBO, WBC, IBF & The Ring & Lineal Light Heavyweight Titles in 97 then drops it all together for the WBO, strong power too, ducked Jones though. Joe could have beat Michalzwki.

Yeah i made a thread about him not long ago asking how good he was.

I was a bit young to see him fight and never really watched any footage of him on youtube either. I had heard about him and saw his record and noticed he beat some guys like Virgil Hill. I was wondering if he was genuinely good, or a bit of a Sven Ottke.
