Calzaghe and Myweather: Ebony and Ivory..Riggs and Murtaugh

[skel1983]

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'.

I was actually talking about the points made about Marciano...

This is a terrible article, and Mayweather is already way more highly regarded than Calzaghe career wise.

Calzaghe arguably lost against an far more aging Hopkins, while Mayweather decisively beat Mosley.

Oscar was far closer to his best than either Hopkins or Jones were when they faced Calzaghe.

The fact is Floyd is way better than Calzaghe, there is no comparison, he is already about 60 slots higher in the all time p4p list, and there is a reason for that.

How come there's no mention of Marciano in the thread title?

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.
