Yeah, huge heart from junior so great to see him back with his dad, and I must admit that was quite something to see Nigel and Chris in a ring before the fight and Benn showed a lot of heart and a great chin. He’s a warrior …just stop taking the drugs Hi might be a warrior, but honestly he has foun...

Great interview. Naseem is my favourite all time fighter, so exicting, immense power and agility. I would have liked him to beat Barrera, but the loss will never take the gloss off his career before that point, which was brilliant to watch. Barrera was a great fighter and a deserved winner. Personal...

Yes but that is not what we are debating here, is it. Being objective on who is the better fighter, based on opinion and refusing to debate the question at hand is a cop out, mate. If you don't / can't debate who has the better legacy, better to stay out of thread, rather than try to justify an arg...

As most have said, Froch has fought the better level of opponents, but Calzaghe was the better fighter. In terms of legacy, I think Joe still pips it. I believe he will be remembered in history for longer than Carl Foch will be, mainly down to his unbeaten record and that being such a rare thing in...

Key point is who was the better SMW Why are we returning to this? Ah yes, because having failed to argue with any success about legacies, switching tact onto 'Who is the better SMW', is a topic where you might have more joy :lol: Let's make it clear, Joe was the more gifted fighter but Froch's lega...

We will have to agree to disgagree on the extent to which certain names on each boxers resume are ordinary, rubbish or great etc. Ultimately, Calzaghe was a much more talented and rounded boxer, who dominated the division in his time, holding at one point or other all belts, and ending with WBA, WBC...

Fist, Calzaghe just wasn't in the type of fights that Carl has been and on such a regulae basis. Look at who Froch has fought. Taylor, Abraham, Johnson, Kessler twice, Bute, Ward, Pascal. These are significant fighters and only Johnson could be seen as an easy fight. Froch fought back to back fight...

Everyone seems to be forgetting Calzaghe's wins over Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Brewer and Mitchell. Add those to the wins over Lacy, Bika, Kessler, Hopkins and Jones and IMO he has the better record. Really ?? Reid was average at best, Bika was ordinary, Eubank was faded fighter, Woodhall was distinc...

Was Carl determined to build a legacy or forced into it? The super six made most of the fights compulsory! As soon as he got to call the shots with a powerful promoter and TV network we got Mack! If your going to hold Reid against Joe, you have to hold Dirrell against Carl. Far, far worse decision....

Froch is a fabulous fighter, but I feel Calzaghe was more successful and a better boxer. Joe fought all those put in front of him, including an in prime undefeated Kessler, at a time when critics were speculating (wrongly) that Calzaghe would duck him. Of course he wouldn't, he was a fighter and wa...

There is no doubt that Naz provided us with some amazing nights entertainment, however ....... in my opinion the sign of a true great / champion / legend etc. is how they come back from defeat. Unfortunately, the Naz legacy will always be tainted because of this, and rightly so in my opinion. On a ...

IMO the best British boxer there's been . And certainly the most entertaining . loved his style. Amazing power. Shame he retired so young. As for Barrera, for me it was within Naseem to beat him . Not a certainty, but quite possible. Naseem fought terrible in that fight, balance was off, he looked ...

Shocking that some on here have mentioned Hamed; I think he is probably the best Britain has had. So fast, powerful, entertaining - tremendous ability. In his prime, i think one of the heaviest handed British fighters pound for pound. And yes, he lost to Barrera, but it is crazy to say conclusively ...

Calzaghe
Eubank / Benn
Froch
Collins

Both great fighters, and we could compare opponents and achievements all day long, but for me, Calzaghe is the better figter; more stamina, broader skill range, faster, relentless, great movement. That is not to diminish Froch's ability and ultimately unless Joe returns and fights Froch its all subj...

anyone know what time is the khan fight due?

If you're a renowned hard case there are many ways to make a lot of money; actual fighting is not really necessary. There're people about who want the protection of a name when they're up to no good and afraid of being robbed and debt collection etc. I've no real knowledge at all about the man but ...

Best british fighter ever, and yep i think an all time great. On another night, in a different fight, it would not have been an impossibility for him to beat Barrera, just my opinion. Either way, it doesn't matter - most exciting fighter there's been.

Froch's a worthy winner, but are some people forgetting how terrible he was against Taylor? He was also unimpressive against Kessler and rightly lost. Then there is the Direll fight. As for fighting the best well thats true, but because of the super six tournament, which was not around when Joe was ...

Undoubtedly it can be developed, but the raw knock out power that some boxers have comes from genetics and cannot be trained. Someone on here mentioned Hamed working on his technique as a child, but he is a boxer who I'd say was born with it. Just such a powerful puncher relative to his size; he pro...

If we are talking pound for pound then without a doubt Naseem Hamed. Ridiculous power relative to his size. I would personally go further and say that he was one of if not the hardest pound for pound puncher in the world, within modern times.
