I thought prince naseem looked very ameturish also a good fighter \but way way overated. The fact is when european fighters arethe typical style fighter they are below fighters here in the us its just thayt boxing here is bad, and may never get better right now. Exceptions are klitchko, vladmir not vitali, (if vitali had a chin hed been 10 timnes as good as vitali, who is horrible skill wise) valdimir has adjusted and has become very good, lennox well he was always good but became better as he adapted his style
Look...everyone's entitled to an opinion...but this is clearly an uneducated one...atleast as far as Joe Calzaghe goes.

One or two bad performances does not break ground for hanging a fighter out to dry like this. Calzaghe is one of the most skilled fighters of the 168lb division & he's running undefeated in 42 fights for a reason.

You need to see more than one or two fights before passing judgement.
Like you did to Roy Jones

Or were you just saying that Jones was good at counting the birds over his head to have a go at me
Damn Girl you never miss a trick do you? ,

Anyways i agree Joe is very much overrated, Lacy was the perfect fighter to make Joe look better than he is, Jeff was young and Inexperienced, Had No movement, No speed, No head movement, Technically lacking i mean you would have thought Joe beat someone like Mayweather, Not to mention he was at home infront of a partizan crowd, And he's already been knocked down by average fighters too, If Joe fights Taylor or Winky he'll lose for sure, He hasn't fought people of that class before, Eubank was at the end of his career when Joe beat him,

It's time for the excuses to stop and for him to get on the plane and face some real champions, He'll get his a** kicked but at least he'd have taken a risk or two.
