    So winning a world title doesn't make you world class? Interesting.

    What exactly does make someone world class then?

    But he is a much better fighter than Jeff Lacy ever was, and it was between the two best Super Middleweights in the world and people were demanding the fight. I rated Mikkel Kessler as a good fighter before and after the Joe Calzaghe fight. And i give Joe Calzaghe alot of props for winning the fight.
    That was EXACTLY the situation for Lacy-Calzaghe. Unfortunately you weren't here to inform everyone what a pointless match it was between two such ordinary fighters.

    Kessler's solid wins - Librado Andrade, Craig Cummings, Anthony Mundine.

    Not very impressive is it? Beating those couldn't have led you to believe Kessler was "world class?" I don't see how they are any better than Lacy beating Sheika, Vanderpool, Reid, Pemberton. You knew Lacy wasn't "world class", right?

    So basically you rate Kessler as "world class" because you like his style. He has no "world class" wins going by your criteria. Therefore shouldn't be rated as a "good" win for Calzaghe.. Or any better than his other "questionable" wins.
    Well if your putting it that way then Mikkel Kessler was overrated then ? which in turn doesn't make Joe Calzaghe's win over Mikkel Kessler that impressive then

    Man do you want me to make a poll on the main board ? I can name a number of former world champs who aren't world class. I can't believe that the statement right there implies Gavin Rees or fukking Sultan Ibragimov was/were/are world class fighters

    Something neither of them have when against opponents who are actually world class.
    Is Peter Manfredo world class too now? Because Lacy looked terrible against him.
    What about Tsypko?

    I thought Sam Peter, being a former WBC champion, fighting Wlad Klitschko, Vitali, Toney, Maskaev etc.. made him world class?

    Likewise with Lacy being IBF champion.

    Obviously i'm wrong.

    What is/was their standing in boxing then?

    I agree. when jermain beat taylor wasnt bhop p4p #1 in the sport at the time by ring mag. and people say pavlik has no skill but he beat taylor who is a fighter with good enough skill to beat bhop. and yet they say pavlik is still overrated.

    So you would class Whitaker as just "world class?" Thats it?
