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

[JonesJrMayweather]

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 .

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.

Bernard went on to beat Pavlik, what did Oscar do?

calzaghe decidely beat a prime hopkins. if it was not for the 10th round acting job he would have stopped hopkins, as he hurt him badly in the nineth.

oscar was well past it against pbf, way more than hopkins against calzaghe,and oscar still gave pbf a very close fight. it wasn't long after that pac beat the living sh!t out of oscar...

1. Hopkins was not in his PRIME ( although far from shot ).
2. Calzaghe was as close to stopping Hopkins with his slaps , as Kid Thunder is close to getting a world title fight.

If Hopkins would have engaged rather than cry about invisible fouls B Hop would have gotten the beat down of his life.

I think Joe beats down Bute or anyone else at 168 if they fought now.

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

Because the article isn't titled "article about Marciano"

I know absoloutely pathetic

1/10 would be generous

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)
