Is Joe Calzaghe a Hall of Famer?

[Ray Ray]

I was just wondering what are your opinions on Joe's legacy. Do you think he is Hall of Fame bound or do you think he needs to do more to enhance his legacy?

IMHO I think he hurt himself earlier in his career by fighting C class fighters. I'm not diminishing his accomplishments. He's a damn good fighter that come to fight from what I've witnessed.

The only real names that stand out on his career was Lacy and Kessler.(just my opinion)

Of course he will,that was kind of a dumb question,sorry.

Thanks for the input but I dont see how its a dumb questions when some posters have different views on this subject. I'm trying to find out more information on Calzaghe to sway my opinion on him. Honestly I started keeping up with him after watching the Lacy fight.

In a hall of fame that already includes Ingemar Johansson? Calzaghe's a lock. Prolonged time atop the sport, unified, undisputed champion.

Yes, he is in the HOF and possibly an all time great at 168. He will solidify his spot with one more big win.

[warp1432]

Yeah I think he will to.

I think he has 4 names that stand out though maybe 5. Eubank, Reid, Bika (?), Lacy, and Kessler. Sure to be a lock if he beats Hopkins though.

Before the Kessler fight I didnt think so. That one sealed it.

1st ballot without a doubt in my mind.

Repetition of a misconception. Marciano left boxing 49-0 as the heavyweight champion. Many boxers in lower weight classes have run up records beyond Marciano's.
