McGuigan's high praise for Calzaghe: best in history!

[hemichromis]

lewis is almost certainly the best british boxer ever unless you look at bob fiztsimmons record but there is no video of him.

calzaghe is damn good but he doesn't want to fight in america which is ****** really! he would get booed but he would also get lots of publicity and money

[Azteca]

your quotes are bogus as usual.

[dino]

i would say he's 2nd

[GEOFFHAYES]

Bob Fitzsimmons and Jimmy Wilde are my top two British fighters ever, with Ted 'Kid' Lewis not far trailing and Ken Buchanan up there too.

Post-war I'd have Buchanan, McGuigan, Benn, Calzaghe.. Conteh was up there, and Hatton will be my #1 post-war if he can take Castillo and Mayweather. Best in terms of ability would be Herol Graham. Guys who could of done more with themselves include Errol Christie, Honeyghan, Eubank.

Some other all-time great English fighters include Owen Moran, Jack 'Kid' Berg and Lennox Lewis.

Is Enzo Macarinelli's fight getting televised, and are there any other undercards on ITV1 tonight?

[Southpaw Stinger]

Is Enzo Macarinelli's fight getting televised, and are there any other undercards on ITV1 tonight?

Yeah there showing Enzo's fight then Calzaghes fight. If either of those end early the'll be a few undercards to fill the time.

[Abe Attell]

Its wrong to compare Lewis with Calzaghe, Lewis beat legends and is HOF..

exactly, plus Lennox would take Joe's head off.

[Abe Attell]

Lennox Lewis?? He was solid, but nothing special at all.

Yes, nothing special

[GEOFFHAYES]

exactly, plus Lennox would take Joe's head off.

Agreed. IMO Lennox is too big for Calzaghe.
