[Dia bando]

[hitmanhatton]

its an irrelevant statistic when he didnt fight the best available to him

As much as Di Bando is trying to annoy people, what you say has been done to death. I.e who he fought, who he didn't and why and nobody has yet found any argument that Calzaghe didn't face the best at SMW that 'was available to him'

[Luckystu72]

I think he pretty much did fight the best guys available, but he was in a relatively weak era.

Agreed on both counts.

Kessler was his best win imo. Bute, Ward, Dirrel and Froch would all have been better than anybody else that he fought. BUT...he did beat the best available and we cannot knocked that and who's to say that he wouldn't have beaten better fighters had they been available.

46 and 0 by the way 3 ABA'S

[Dia bando]

What's wrong Calzaghe was the best we had,is it because he is FROM WALE'S and he is a winner people dont like winner's 46 AND O AND 3 ABA'S.

[imp]

Calzaghe was a great fighter no doubt...but for the rest of his life everyone knows he never fought a prime roy jones and he never would.
Frank warren helped him have a clean slate.
Against a prime james toney he would have had problems but we will never ever know.

Why fight an up an coming carl froch when you can fight a dangerous deadly peter manfredo!!

Lol

Well joe was tailking to froch a few year's back about fighting and the word's were the MONEY HAS TO BE WRIGHT, it's all about the money pro boxer's dont fight for fun. so that's it .there is a small time scale in pro boxing make your money and as much as you can.

[imp]

It was the money with roy jones as well then and all the other elite boxers.

Joe is a great boxer but lets be real. There were other fighters during his prime he avoided and thats why there is always that question mark over some of his choices.

Justify peter manfredo...

That theory has been disproved many times on here mate. RJJ wasn't even at SMW for one, but I aint gonna go back over the politics with that fight. RJJ is not a great example if you are trying to pick on people's resumes coz his is shit.

I would like to see who you think Joe avoided between 1997 and 2008 at SMW.

[imp]

I already stated joe was a great fighter fella..but it was obvious rjj went on for too long.

I just felt robbed that a few years before joe fought roy he said in his book he was way past his prime and then decided to fight him.

Not everyone has to agree but there are many who think he didnt face up to the best competition..but then they say the same about
mayweather 
Horses, courses.
