Welsh dragon

[killersheep]

I still say Jimmie Wilde was a better Welsh fighter than Calzaghe.

Why ? not dissagreeing just curious as to why?

Because he was a monster in his division JCC style 133-4-2 (99 KOs)

He had more ring time than Joe 2 years into his career and was undefeated in that time. He fought everyone he could even if the fights were only days apart. He went 91 fights before taking in his first loss.

Look at what this maniac did in one year!!

His first full year as a pro.

This is something that makes me mad about fighters nowadays.
They hardly ever fight. 2-3 times a year tops for title holders.
