is calzaghe one of the best fighters ever

Jake set it straight on that last bit years ago.

 

Jake artie:

 

bika was a better victory for ward than miranda

reid is in calzaghe's top 5? :atu: he looked like shite in that one, mate

 

So Jake said that Hopkins didn't pull out of a fight with Calzaghe?

MTF

 

I know. I was there. He fought like shit.

MTF

 

And as usual, we'll ignore the fact that Calzaghe peaked late(like Hopkins) & was very close to his absolute best and that Hopkins would have been fucking mental to take the deal offered in 2002.

 

As long as we don't pretend that Calzaghe was young or say that Joe should have fought Hopkins earlier, I have no objections.

MTF

 

He was 'young' boxing wise in that he was pretty much at his peak.

 

Definitely Calzaghe, Ward is like the diet version of Super Joe Calzaaaaghe

 

Who cares who has the better resume or not, Calzaghe beats Ward handily.

 

Ward would stop Calzaghe.

 

I give Ward some props. He's better than what I used to think of him, but I think Joe would have found a way to win. Just a better fighter imo.

 

Based on Ward's excellent power, superior handspeed and Joe's record of being stopped a few times?

MTF :dunno:

 

So much at his peak that he retired.

MTF

 

Amen. Ward would whip the wimpy Welshman so bad he'd be shipping shillelaghs to Schenectady by spring.

 

crap-saggy was fast and a good borderline great slapper

 

based on both of their fights with Kessler, it seems to me Ward is the better fighter. Too bad Calzaghe was a chicken shit or we might actually know how good he was.

 

Calzaghe would have been Bute... no Super 6 for him.

 

Yep. At least Ward is trying to fight the best guys out there. Can't say the same for Calzaghe.

 

Calzaghe laid the blueprint so Ward already knew what to do

 

Still laughing at Miranda ::

I am the least biased poster here, so I see things as they are. Calzaghe beats Ward.

 

Seriously. Stop it.

 

Ward would kick the shit out of Calzaghe.

 

Who cares? When was he better? When he was making a three course meal of David Starie & Richie Woodhall? When he was getting put on his ass by Charles Brewster? When?

 

Let the truth set you free Hut.

 

"blueprint" is a super ghey argument.

 

Not only did Calzaghe lay the blueprint, he didn't have to use goat tactics either to achieve his win

 

He didn't get floored by Brewer he was floored by Mitchell and Salem, damn sight better than being floored by Darnell Boone :atu:

 

Brewster, Mitchell.....I can't even remember who these bums are & they were the best guys he fought for like ten years.
