          Calzaghe is a top 20 ATG at the very least.

          Possibly top 10.

                You are the biggest self-hating brit on this site. All you do is bash UK fighters relentlessly and exagerate the accomplishments of bums like Tyson and John Ruiz. But Ill try to stay on topic here..

                As far as calzaghe is concerned, I think people underestimate the extreme discipline it takes to go undefeated through 46 bouts. So many things can go wrong on any given night. Calzaghe skills overcame the bad days, and he was able to rack up 21 consecutive title defenses for 2nd most all time in the history of the sport. His style is impossible to beat. His work rate would win him the majority rounds against, Hagler, Monzon and James Toney. He already beat Hopkins and Roy Jones H2H, which puts him above both all-time.

                How many fighters have more title defenses? How many have a more impressive record than 46-0? If it was so easy everyone would do it. Calzaghe is in a class by himself.

                      you are talking garbage as well as exaggerating, Calzaghe beat a bunch of `Tomato-Cans`none of who could be classed as above Class D in terms of ability...Dariusz Michalczewski went 48-0 with 26 title defences and was ducked for years by Calzaghe, `Does Dariusz make the Top 100?.. Dariusz Michalczewski fought a class of opponent which was vastly better than any opponent Calzaghe ever fought, Calzaghe pulled out of fighting Glen Johnson 3 times without excuse knowing that he could not beat Johnson.. pre1960 many fighters ran up a record of more than 46-0 as well as fighting the best competition in the world yet they would not make the top 100.. The best opponent Calzaghe ever fought who was not over-the-hill and years past his best like what Eubank, Jones & Hopkins was Robin Reid and Reid was robbed against Calzaghe.. as far as me being "the biggest self-hating brit on this site" you are most likely correct on that score yet i am a huge fan of British fighters pre1990 during the days of John Conteh, Charlie Magri, Frank Bruno, Barry McGuigan who was all good fighters but they never claimed to be the best in the world even tho they held world titles..Fighters like Calzaghe, Hatton, Haye, Lewis are all IMO frauds who avoided all the top fighters in the world yet masqueraded as the World Champion when in reality they was not the best... it is immaterial to me what nationality a boxer is as i base all boxers legacy's on who they fought and beat who was at "The Top of their Game".... your sad quote of how Jones beat Roy Jones reminds me of when Britain's Terry Downes beat the great Sugar Ray Robinson in London 1962... Yet Robinson is rated the greatest boxer in History and how many have ever heard of Terry Downes which is what the case will be in 20yrs time with Calzaghe.. i wont go into the Calzaghe drug taking issue.
