Joe should have fought in the States years ago. Eric Lucas would just have been another name for Joe, he's beaten better guys than Eric Lucas. Ottke? Calzaghe would more than likely have beaten him. He didn't want to risk getting robbed in Germany though. The WBA title was swapping around fairly regularly. No dominant champion there.
Same with the WBC. Woodhall? Calzaghe beat him. Reid? Calzaghe beat him, narrowly. Catley? Joe would have beaten him. Lucas? Calzaghe would have beaten him.
Obviously, Roy Jones v Calzaghe a few years back would have been good, but Jones went up to light heavy and Calzaghe was happy at super middle. Jones would have won imo.
Glenn Johnson went up to light heavy as well. Joe would probably have beaten him at super middle.
Beyer was another name out there. Again, Joe would probably have been favoured to beat him.
Lacy? He was the 'next big thing'. Calzaghe trounced him.
Kessler v Calzaghe is the best fight out there at 168 lbs. Whether it's made, who knows?
