  • (FAR FETCHED) What Joe Calzaghe's resume could have looked like...

    From winning the WBO 168lb. title, this is apparently what Joe Calzaghe's resume could have looked like. Possibly in another dimension it does. You can google these names if you doubt there was talk at the time of these fights taking place. The addition of potential/possible title involvement is obviously pure fiction, although those opponents were holding titles at the time.

    • Chris Eubank, 45-2-2 (23 KO) ~ vacant WBO 168lb. title ~
    • Steve Collins, 36-3 (21 KO)
    • Thomas Tate, 34-5 (25 KO)
    • Robin Reid, 26-1-1 (19 KO)
    • Glenn Catley, 24-3 (18 KO)
    • Dave Hilton, 38-1-2 (26 KO)
    • Omar Sheika, 20-1 (13 KO)
    • Richie Woodhall, 26-2 (16 KO)
    • Mario Veit, 30-0 (18 KO)
    • Mads Larsen, 37-1 (33 KO)
    • Charles Brewer, 37-8 (26 KO)
    • Bernard Hopkins I, 41-2-1 (30 KO) (was Lineal/Unified 160lb. champion at time)
    • Eric Lucas, 36-4-3 (13 KO) ~ WBC and WBO 168lb. unification ~
    • Byron Mitchell, 25-2-1 (18 KO)
    • Anthony Mundine, 20-1 (15 KO) ~ WBA, WBC and WBO 168lb. unification ~
    • Glen Johnson, 40-9-2 (27 KO) ~ IBF 175lb. title ~
    • Zsolt Erdei, 22-0 (13 KO) ~ IBF and WBO 175lb. unificiation ~
    • Clinton Woods, 39-3-1 (25 KO) (was IBF 175lb. champion at time)
    • Jeff Lacy, 21-0 (17 KO) ~ Lineal/Unified 168lb. title ~
    • Mikkel Kessler, 39-0 (29 KO) (was WBA Super and WBC 168lb. champion at time)
    • Kelly Pavlik, 33-0 (29 KO) (was Lineal/Unified 160lb. champion at time)
    • Bernard Hopkins II, 48-5-1 (32 KO) ~ Lineal 175lb. Title ~
    • Chad Dawson, 26-0 (17 KO) ~ Lineal and WBC 175lb. unification ~
    • Roy Jones, Jr., 52-4 (38 KO)

    If Joe had retired 46-0 (32 KO) with this resume, where would he rank all-time?

    Didn't bother including Sven Ottke, prime Roy Jones, Jr., US Olympian David Reid, young Carl Froch, Jermain Taylor or Brian Magee.

        joe would have beaten them all. Everyones cv could be better, but joes was as solid as it gets, he took on and beat all comers, what more do people want.

            Solid as it gets even though he only fought three fighters ranked in the top 5?

              He did fight 11 out of these 24 fights. Of those he went 11-0 (4 KO).

                    yeah but you are forgetting once he gets knocked out the first time that will start a chain reaction of gettting knocked out over and over
