Mike Tyson is loads better than Joe Calzaghe and you are deluded to think otherwise;)

I will be the first to admit either Calzaghe is on the slide or it was just an off night. I really think Joe and his Dad thought they would just have to turn up and not realise how good even this Hopkins is.
I guess time will tell if Joe is fading and weather Hopkins really is that good still.
My opinion is Hopkins is the worst possible match up for Calzaghe and he did not appreciate what the old dog brought to the table.
i will add thins, Calzaghe has sublime footwork and Hopkins shut him down pretty well, what is he going to do with a crude plodder who has never fought at smw?
What makes him better his best win is over a 38 year old Holmes who had not fought for 2 years and had like 14 days to get ready.
Yea the topic being tysonbruno how full of shit is he if you do not like that title i can think of more i love to hear your ideas on one if you have any.
I think that was because Mike Tyson was mental weak not because of his jaw he just could not handle a opponet that was not afraid.
You have got to be kidding me watch Mike Tyson vs Tony Tucker and watch the uppercut that lifted Mike Tyson off his feet that would of KO'd most Heavyweight's especially because it was very early in the fight and no fighter is properly warmed up at that point. Or watch Mike Tyson vs Razor Ruddock 2 Mike Tyson took monster shots from Ruddock and Tyson wasn't even fazed or watch Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson 1 the 10th round when Mike Tyson took one of the best counter right hands from Holyfield and didn't go down in no way shape or form did Tyson have a weak chin and when he lost it was due to a throughout beating in all of his losses i would understand if you said Mike Tyson lacked a warrior heart or was mentally fragile but a weak chin ? no way in hell.
Floyd Mayweather beat the best fighter at that time in the Super Featherweight division Diego Corrales who was ranked P4P number 5 and he also beat Genaro Hernandez who had never been beaten at Super Featherweight add in Angel Manfredy Carlos Hernandez Jesus Chavez and i would say he pretty much cleaned up the division.
I doubt Joe would've been had he fought fighters with the skill/talent such as the fighters Mayweather fought.
Joe: Eubanks, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins
Mayweather: Corrales, Castillo, Judah, Hatton, De La Hoya
Bit of a difference when you compare the competition if you ask me...
