Seriously - Is Calzaghe the greatest Super Middleweight of all time?

[platinummatt!]

To make a fair decision on this I would say you would have to be completely unbiased, and have seen every recorded SMW fight in history. And of course you would have to have many solid reasons for it too. If there is somebody here that fits these requirements I would be very interested in hearing what they have to say.

At the least you would have to have seen every recorded match of the many greats in the division. But that would still not give you a big enough picture.

I haven't seen enough of Calzaghe or any of the SMW but I do know eubank WAS AWESOME BABY .

if you can find a calzaghe dvd i can assure you that his top 5 fights are worth watching.

Achivements wise yeah why not.

But he is not the best fighter to ever fight at that weight, Jones and Toney and other fans would argue guys like michael nunn were better fighters too.

No Roy Jones is. If Calzaghe carried more power then maybe

power has nothng to do with it roy only had 6 fights at that weight so theres no way in hell he can be the best ever SMW

it is cal he has dominated at 168 for 10 years

Ok, Roy was faster, more exciting and hit alot harder. Boxing monthly also have RJJ as the greatest Super Middleweight of all time. Calzaghe is a good fighter im not hating but Roy was on another level to Joe IMO

Jones was very special but he didn't spend enough time at the weight to warrant being called the greatest super middle ever.

I'll admit that a few select fighters who have passed through the division are arguably better than Joe, but his longevity and his 21 defenses give him the right to be called the greatest super middle ever.

That's true, though BM also said they'd revise that opinion if The Blow beat Kessler.

news just in, Roid jones was knocked out by tarver and johnson. Calzaghe is older now than jones was when he got KO'd

Neither have had a lot of tough battles in their careers.

JOnes is one of the most overrated fghters of all time, the man fought bums his entire career and got KTFO when he fought anyone decent.
