Ward and Marciano are probably the only noteworthy undefeated fighters. Calzaghe, Ibeabuchi, Valero, Mayweather and Joe Mesi are the only other ones I care about.

Boxing is so dead in America that they are flocking to UK these days thanks to AJ boosting UK boxing. Heavys were flocking to Kbros Germany for good paydays.
It's like you so dead upstairs, you weren't even born yesterday.

Froch was more popular and a better fighter than many of the fighters Calzaghe chose to fight instead. Especially in Great Britain.

I'm not going to pretend I remember the goings on and popularity of fighters in Great Britain at that specific time. My point is Calzaghe fought much lesser fighters in skill and I'm sure popularity during his tenure. They should have fought instead of Manfredo.
Calzaghe fought countless unranked, unknown opponents during that time so the excuse doesn’t wash,
