Reid and Woodhall were far better technical boxers than Ricky.

Originally posted by Lou Cipher View PostFloyd actually beat some killers in their prime or at least while they were still killers. Diego Corrales, Arturo Gatti, Canelo maybe a couple others.
Calzaghe was mostly a vulture.
Mayweather clearly had losses. Calzaghe never came close that I can remember.
So in comparing records, first it must be acknowledged that Floyd's record is inaccurate......but even in its true state, is miles above Calzaghe's.

Originally posted by hugh grant View PostFloyd had more gift wins than jc also. Not that an.unbeaten record means much but jc can claim to be unbeaten, Floyd not so much
Floyd lost to Castillo and Maidana, old faded blown up short armed Oscar deserved a draw.
Shane and Oscar and Pac were 10+ years past their peaks. Eubank, Reid and Hopkins put in their best ever performance AFTER the Joe fight (Thompson II, Ottke, Pavlik).

Originally posted by coghaugen View PostTrue. Joe clearly won all his fights (including Eubank, Reid and Hopkins) for me, clearly. He out-threw them massively and was not a misser, broke his hand against Robin.

No where close to reality.

Also to answer your question, Jeff Lacy was the most overhyped boxer in the last 20 + years and that was based on physique and the package deal of Panchito Bojado, Rocky Juarez and Jermain Taylor if I’m not mistaken. They were all sold as the next great boxer and we saw how they all turned out.
Taylor and Juarez has the best careers and that says a lot.
