    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.

      It’s because for as talented as he was he never faced the legitimate fighters if his era.

      not even Glen Johnson.

        When was Johnson ranked at super middle?
        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
        Not great ,but not too shabby.

              it is hard when two opposing voices both claim to have the real facts that contradict each other.

                You can check the ranking places,other than that it's just personal opinion. Add to those I named ,Hopkins and Jones,and you have the following.
                Mitchell no 5
                Brewer no 8
                Lacy no3
                Bika no 8
                Kessler no 1
                He also beat
                Reid
                Eubanks
                Woodhall

                Hopkins Champ
                Jones no6​
                6 ranked men and 1 worlds champion

                Ottke .22 defences but only 8 were Ring ranked.

                  End of story.
                  - - Ring yearly ratings have him at #6, but I was there, and in the moment of the fight he'd been #5 for a while in monthly ratings. U acted like he was shot.

                  Piffle stuff really, the sorta stuff that is still beyond your scope.

                    No he wasn’t #5, that is a lie.

                    And he was shot.
