There is a good reason Calzaghe is hardly ever discussed on boxing forums. Most everyone is quite aware of how he conducted his career. Very few people outside of Great Britain consider him an ATG but somebody who might have become one--with a different career trajectory.

No, in his 2 fights at light heavyweight Calzaghe didnt face no 4 Johnson, he fought the champion Hopkins, beat him then beat the no 6 ranked Jones and retired
Calzaghe at super middle beat;
Mitchell no 5
Brewer no 8
Lacy no3
Bika no 8
Kessler no 1
He also beat
Reid
Eubanks
Woodhall
