Left his mrs for the village bike Mayweather slapped a few women up. Obviously I wouldn't know much about their personality I was just talking about talent. Mike Tyson is a lot of people's hero and he is a convicted rapist. Did he do it or not? I don't know but Tyson furey doesn't have much dirt on him besides drugs and he is treated like scum Ali was also fond of a bit on the side and he was a god I take it you know a bit about calzaghes personal life so I'll leave it to someone else that knows him to argue about that part. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What hurts Joes legacy is the lack of superfights in his career,ok he was big over here but his best wins over prime fighters were only Kessler and Lacy and a few European level fighters. Compare Joes record to the likes of Roy Jones and it's a night and day comparison. Jones pre Heavyweight was unbelievable but he has also tarnished his legacy after he continued to fight on after moving to Heavyweight to fight Ruiz despite being told from numerous sources that he would never be the same fighter again. Unfortunately after the Ruiz fight he fought on and it was proved that he was nothing like the fighter he had been. Joe did beat Jones and Hopkins but it was too late in there careers for Joe to take real credit for his wins over them. Even then,both of them were able to put Joe over in the first round and I thought Hopkins should have got the nod but his "white boy" comments put paid to that . 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
