  • Who Fought Bigger or More Bums: Ali or Joe Calzaghe

    Serious question. Ali or Joe and be prepared to back it up with facts. Should be noted that almost half of Ali's wins were against people with double digit losses, he once fought a man who was working security that night, a man who was gut shot, several people weighing 2 weight classes below modern HW (and ali was 220 at the time), a gut shot fighter with no intestines, and Archie Moore who was fighting his 300th pro fight and was 75 at the time.

    Ali throughout his whole career fought only one opponent with more losses and wins, and that was a late substitute to the original opponent. He fought a greater percentage of top 10 ranked contenders than almost any other heavyweight.

        I'm always up for sensible discussion about boxing but not when it comes down to calling solid professional boxers "bums". You're going to have to bait someone else to argue with you.

          Should also be noted that Joe ended 6 undefeated fighters streaks. Ali ended Foreman's, some bum who wound up with a losing record for his career, and Spinks...who had been drawn and had previously beat Ali. Also in his last 30 fights, Joe fought only 4 fighters with more than 4 losses, and 12 of them had 1 loss or less.

            This is one of the stupidest threads(ever).

            Muhammad Ali is called 'The Greatest' for a reason. For purposes of convenience i will merely list the top/solid fighters he beat(for now).

            Sonny Liston(twice)
            Floyd Patterson (twice)
            Zora Folley
            George Chuvalo
            Ernie Terrell
            Ron Lyle
            Oscar Bonavena
            Ken Norton(twice)
            Joe Frazier(twice)
            George Foreman(only man to ever KO Foreman)
            Earnie Shavers(not really a top fighter but one of the biggest punchers of all time and Ali beat him when he was himself waaaaay over the hill).

            As for Calzaghe well he did fight some bums(as all fighters do) but he had a good career had terrific handspeed and a solid chin and big heart too.

            P.S. This thread is stupid. lol.
