Thread: Nigel Benn on Joe Calzaghe

"Joe is a fantastic fighter who is still largely under-rated.

"He has beaten everyone there is to beat. He can't do any more than that.

"To be world champion you have to be exceptionally good. To be a world champion for 10 years, you are talking legend."

10 years in a weak div. fighting an over the hill Eubank, 1 demensional Lacy, 2 of his noteable fights.

Put that along side Delahoya's record or Hopkins. C'mon... No comparison... Great, Joe is! Legend is still up in the air.

Hopkins?? Now that is what I call a weak division. Blown up DLH and Trinidad are his ONLY big scalps

Oh please.

Let me tell ya somethin...I'm a fan of all the fighters that you mentioned (cept Eubank) & Joe deserves respect.

I don't give two flyin shits what anyone says...all of the champs have fought fighters that are as shitty as Manfredo jr...whether he's the Pride of Boston or wherever...he still got his ass handed to him & so did all the rest.

Pisses me off that everyone gave Lacy flack for being overratted after Joe handed him his ass.

I suppose if Joe fought & beat Taylor or Hopkins then you'd all make some excuse there too.

Personally...I think that everyone should STFU & give Joe his props because he's a hell of a fighter & anyone that doesn't take note of his skills is surely foolin themselves.

Looks like the wack man is having a bad day. Drink a six pack of Natural Ice, you will be OK.

Natural Ice?

You gotta be fwockin shittin me?!?!?!

I'm on my second Kettle One Dirty Martini.

I just get a bit pissed that people are saying Manfredo was jobbed outta his right to fight when Calzaghe was the one that hammered him throughout the entire match & made him look as stupid as saying that he draws his strength from the Raging Bull...that's a gotdam insult!

A Raging Bull should be able to walk over a Latin Snake...not have it crawl all over him.

People should understand a Dragon blazing a Bull. I mean...come on.

He said this before Manfredo fight, last week sometime.
