Preme, don't blow a brain cell, I know he's fought nice competition and all, but to put him in front of Chavez, Pacquiao, Foreman to only name these three is ... IN MY OPINION, faulty.![]()

Also again Superfeatherweight, Lightweight, Lightwelterweight, Welterweight, Lightmiddleweight, Middleweight, champion of the world this isn't even debatable.
Ok Ice Cold, point taken. I'll give in. Though, Chavez was shot when he fought DLH and so was Camacho.
But I still think, even after your demonstration, that Calzaghe should be in front of Trinidad. We'll see after Kessler and Hopkins.
The original list was flawed because it lacked legitimate historical perspective.
As far as where current fighters will list,you wont really have an honest assesment until about 10 years after theyre retired.
Thats why Joe stepped up to take the Kessler fight,he knows he's fighting to have a legacy now,not just a belt
Your going by numbers that don't tell the no where near the whole story. Calzaghe 21 defenses is a bogus record. Not only was he defending the low budget crappy ass title that is the WBO. But he defended it against 16 bums, 3 shot fighters, an overrated fighter and 1 prime fighter. And your impressed with that? Artur Grigorian defended the same crappy ass WBO title (Lightweight version) 17 times. And retired with a record of 37-1. You probably think he's and all time great as well, huh?Originally Posted by Azriel

pac is ahead of oscar on the all time list? shit pac has done well but beating a shot morales twice and barrera once is bollox
I think Pac won more crucial competitive fights than Oscar did.Originally Posted by Preme

Please explain...............Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Well, he was the chick magnet back in his prime. Oscar won against down the hill JCC, a runner against Trinindad, lost crucial fights with B-hop (massive liver shot), Mosley twice, PBF. Won against punk asses Vargas and Mayorga.Originally Posted by Violent Demise
That's pretty much the highlights of his career.![]()
OK now compare that with PAC.............Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft

lol hopkins? shit if he got taken out in the first round i wudnt care, oscare started winning world titles 5 weights lower than that!Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft
I guess them wins over Whitaker, Ruelas, Leija, Carr, Hernandez don't mean muchOriginally Posted by Pacstraightleft
nop 'coz he lost a couple of times to some of the best p4p fighters at the time and ov all time... and even they were razor thin losses (hopkins excluded) it tarnishes his record...Originally Posted by Violent Demise
