In your opinion, are any of these fighters an all-time great?
Pryor is one of the great Light-Welters of All Time
Calzaghe is one of the great Super-Middles of All Time
Hamad was a fantastic TV fighter & very good Featherweight, Yet wether they are ATGs is a different thing.. IMO Pryor would have been a tough fight for anyone at Light-Welter, Calzaghe i could name a dozen who would beat him same goes for Hamed
In your opinion, are any of these fighters an all-time great?
ATG is very subjective to begin with. All are a possibility for top 100, but I don't think any of them are a clear cut choice for top 50 or better based on their resumes. Just my opinion of course.
Naseem Hamed's resume>>>>>>>>>>>>>Joe Calzaghe's.It's not even close
Hamed's resume is much deeper than Pryor who's whole legacy is based off of one win over a faded great in Alexis Arguello,He beat no good fighters outside of that,Just a couple of those mediocre asian fighters who the WBA would often throw out as mandatory challengers.
Aaron Pryor is not ATG,And it's a pretty sorry state of a boxing fans view when he is ranked as such.

That certainly is debatable.What makes him anymore a candidate than Antonio Cervantes or Julio Cesar Chavez and as much as I dislike him Kostya Tszyu?
It would seem that you forgot he won his title by knocking out Cervantes. Still, I don't think he's the greatest 140 pounder but he's definitely one of them.
