Is calzaghe a future hall of famer?

Of course he should be. Hell, even his haters are even conceding the point. It's all nonsense this HoF though. Some of the fighters in there are average at best whilst some real greats have been left out.

He's borderline/basically in at this point. With what he does to Kessler, if he wins, I'd say he's basically in. 20 defenses (and growing), never lost, dominated a short era, may have defeated to undefeated younger (suppossedly stronger) champions, and he still has a BIT more in him, if he wins. He deserves it, to me. One of the greatest British fighters of all time.

This isnt even a question.

First off, it's a fact that nothing significant will ever happen in your sorry life, as reflected in the way you get so affected in these boards, so you might as well end it right now. As to your other puerile point, it's a sad fact, but true. Else why the Mayweather nuthugging when he hasnt beaten anyone of significance? Americans put too much premium on the 0s. One's 0 must go as you Americans obssessively say it. I wont bother responding to most of the bull shit you just spewed.. but I will ask one question. If Mayweather's 0 is so trashy... who has a better undefeated record? You can answer that question. I wont bother responding as you either wont answer it or will post an idiotic response. Good day, 'tard.

You are insane. If you watched the fight Nard got his ass whooped. Of course it's different now, only lunatics would have both of them fight now. Of all the people for you to defend, I'd find it hard to believe RJJ is one of them. You criticize mayweather for everything that RJJ did/does. And RJJ didn't come close to whooping B-Hop's ass. He won the fight clearly, but it was by no means a rout.

Your point, if any? You're attempting to sound like an Undefeated record makes Americans blind to everything else while the rest of the world is somehow above it. My other point is that you should kill yourself... but that's basically in the subtext everytime I'm typing.

Undefeated is undefeated. And you know how the Americans are crazy about undefeated records. We Americans? THat's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Anytime a fighter is undefeated for a long period of time they're talked about one way or another. Hatton, Ottke, mother fucking Valuev, etc...

I said undefeated. :hitit: You said undefeated for 10 years, as I interpreted as not losing a fight for a span of 10 years. Even with that being said... losing your first pro bout and a close fight to RJJ aren't meaningful losses, if there are such things.

An undefeated American for ten years now will automatically place him in the Top Ten all-time, and you know this. Hopkins didn't lose a fight for around 12 years and you wont find many people, if any, who put him in top 10 fighters of all time. Zag suffers from a serious lack of competition on his resume. He'll probably get in. If he beats Kessler and goes on for a couple of more years and has at least 1 more big fight then he's a shoe in for sure.

Hell to the yeah. Beating Kessler will only cement his claim to the Hall of Fame.

10 years of being champion, and after that boxing lesson he did against lacy he should be a hall of famer. also im sure he will school kessler, oh i cant wait for that fight =P

No because Kessler is going to knock him out!!!

Yes..........

um. YES, OBVIOUSLY. 10 years as champ!!!!!!!!!!!

thats what i was thinking especially if he beats kessler then my opinion would be yes.

Not even close

Has joe's career been good enough to get him into the hall of fame?How much more would he need to do to get into the hall of fame?Looking for opinions here? http://www.calzaghe.co.uk/images/whoz-best2.gif ?????? 10 years as world champ with 20 succesful title defences, I would say so. If he beats Kessler and unifies the division then I say absolutely.
