very few would knock as far as fighting ability goes as in some of his fight he resembles the fighters of yesteryear,a throwback to the hungry years of boxing when every performance counted if fighters were to be guaranteed
regular and consistently good opposition.

First of all Calzaghe is a Super Middleweight....There are no regularly good guys in that division....It has been the saddest division in the sport for years at times even worse than the Cruisers......Second as far as the stand up toe to toe fighter you speak about and guys going to war...With Jones never doing it or else he might be ordinary....This is boxing not street fighting....When you are that superior to your opp you don't have to go toe to toe...Let me explain this....The idea is to hit and not be hit.....There is not a fighter out there except maybe that idiot Mayorga that wants to get hit often as possible...If you were ment to take punches then we would still toe the line,,,,Guys like Jones,,PBF,,Chris Byrd,,,James Toney ect have a style that keeps them from being beat up too much...If Byrd was a cruiser he would most likely be one of the best ever...He gets hit only b the real big guys who over power him....Guys like Gatti, Mayorga,,Arce get hit alot because they are not defensive minded and have no choice but to fight toe to toe....Get out of here with that toe to toe garbage
