Joe Calzaghe Is Most Underrated Champion

[max baer]

Of course? I got that. It was good post.

I was just throwing in some trivia about the guy. He truly was an ATG doing his thing.

Regarding the point you are making: on this forum we seem to do this odd thing. We talk about H2H match-ups but always qualifying them with the fight being held in their respective primes.

OK, but that decision, where 'prime' actually is, is determined on his best resume period.

We are in a sense just going back to comparing resumes anyway.

That period may very well not contain the fight where that guy "won on a night no one will ever forget." I.e. His best night may not even have occurred during his prime.

I'll take this to the absurd:

Because of style . . .you list the ten greatest MWs and give me 10-1 odds, and I'll take Rocky Graziano against all ten. (I did say I get 10-1 odds my way.)

On any given night Graziano could overwhelm any MW, but most times na! He was just second tier.

So anyway, when comparing H2H should we look to a fighter's best night or factor his prime from his resume?

It really all belongs in Fantasy Fights, but what the hell I'll go along as best I can.

I just can't find a formula I am comfortable with when trying to make these kinds of assentments.

But that leaves me out of many of these conversations.

I agree willie.
