Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Ebony and Ivory | Bleacher Report

Decent article with some very valid points...

Just reading that and they say Calzaghe come out of retirement beat Bute and we will give you your legacy hahahahahahaha, what the fuck is this with the Bute love? He has beat no one!!! His best win is against a guy Kessler beat to a pulp 4 years earlier, so he beats Bute and he will get his legacy well wasn't that the deal with Kessler? His record prior to fighting Calzaghe was similar to Bute full of half decent fighters but no one that good, Calzaghe beat him and it is now it don't matter. Same would be with Bute.

The writer of this hasn't done much research has he? Calzaghe is well respected in the UK and is in the top 3 of the majority of peoples best British fighters.

Shit article in truth got pathetic when he said all Calzaghe has to do is beat Bute to cement his legacy .

Beating Dawson a this stage is ten times better than Bute.

I was thinking the same thing..like "wtf beat bute and get a legacy?"

That statement shitted on all the points about JC not being great because of his personality. It's like is he not great because he's an asshole or lack of competition? Which is it?

"Calzaghe never fought a Vernon Forrest, a Winky Wright or even a Shane Mosley"

probably because none of them fought at smiddle...
what a shit article, what ever about Calzaghe not been mentioned in a top 100 p4p
Floyd as well? hate the guy as much as u want but his talent in the ring should be
admired because we might not see anyone as good for a long time.

Also funny how he thinks Floyd never steped up and fought anyone maybe an unbeaten Corrales
yet blows Manny but ignores the fact Manny lost to a past his prime Morales...

I'm reading on phone & I had to comment on that 'article'. It's probably the single biggest pile of shit I've ever read about boxing, which takes some doing given the excrement floating round the net.

The guy probably doesn't know who Diego Corrales is. The lines about Calzaghe fighting Forrest & Mosley, or PBF fighting Barrera & Morales demonstrate some johnny-come-lately boxing fan repeating the crap he's read on ESB forums.

I can't believe the TS said it was 'a decent article with some valid points'.

Ah the wonders of the internet, where any Tom, Dick, or Harry with a keyboard can become a journalist.

BOTH - He's an asshole who fought nobody until around his 40th fight (an old man, 2 week notice, Eubank who he STILL only beat 116-112 doesn't count)

Bleacher Report and the Examiner are SHIT sites especially for boxing, terrible terrible terrible.

How could he have only won 116-112 if he scored two knockdowns ? and even if my memory is slightly off, i know he for certain scored one knockdown early.

Has amir khan tried his hand at writing all of a sudden

[Violent Demise]

The only thing Floyd and Joe have in common are the fact that Calzaghe and Floyd's uncle Roger Mayweather share the same drug connection.
