Calzaghe is not an all time great at all but hes also not a fraud. He was a very good fighter who could adapt and didnt tire much. But the fact that he fought 2 real ATG'S when they were no longer in their primes and still got dropped by both of them leads me to believe that they would have disposed of him when they were in their primes. With Jones in his prime Calzaghe wouldnt have made it out of the 1st round and with a prime Hopkins he would have been schooled and stopped late.

Calzaghe is definitely a great fighter and a Hall of Famer.Comment

His quality of opposition isn't exactly the greatest and that's what hinders him from being an ATG. But his resume is solid and he defeated everyone he faced. Standout wins include Hopkins (could've gone either way but he, at worse, hung tough with an ATG), Kessler, Brewer and Sheika. The latter two were good wins at the time he had them. Annihilated the extremely overhyped Lacy. Don't give it much credit but with the exception of Ottke (and because Ottke didn't want the fight), he beat nearly every credible contender in his division over a long period of time.Comment
