    Calzaghes Legacy With These Wins?

    Well im predicting who Calzaghe will beat before he retires. If he does, where will his legacy be?

    1- Hopkins
    2- Roy Jones Junior
    3- Tarver

    Either 2 or 3 can be other way around.

    But where would that leave Joe C's Legacy?

    He would be A world class fighter. Not one of these guys is in his prime, anyone for Dawson?

      I think if he beats Hopkins its the winner of Tarver Woods isn't it?

      Then if Pavlik is still undefeated, why not?

      If Pavlik gets beat. Then it's retirement, I think a Pavlik/Taylor trilogy is pretty likely.

        Okay and say he beats Dawson as well.

        So :

        Hopkins
        Tarver
        RJJ
        Dawson

        Then where is he?

        They are 4 really big names.

          He would've beaten 3 of the best boxers from the year 2003.

            Neither is Joe, Joe is great. But his prime sadly was beating the **** out of guys like Mger Mgertchian, obviously their are reasons for this. He missed the golden age of super middles, and until now has never had a big enough reputation to make Top Americans want to fight him.

            Joe is still the greatest British fighter of the modern era though, make no mistake.

            Retiring an undefeated two weight world champion is still legendary stuff.

              It means he is a world class fighter, im sorry i cant call this guy one of the all time greats, all time greats are guys like Mayweather Jr, Toney, Jones Jr, De La Hoya etc.

                Jones does nothing for me Calzaghe would murder him after watching him vs Tito.

                If he beats Hopkins then Pavlik he will retire number 1 p4p.

                  Mayweather will be p4p number one till he loses his first fight, simple as.

                    after he beats bh two of the last fighters i care to see him fight would be rjj and tarver. i mean who cares? beating either, which i think he would
                    proves absolutely nothing and farnkly, souns boring.

                    that is what i like about the fight. if jc loses to bh they will say he's not an all-time. if he wins, which i think he does, they will say he should have because bh is old. and i agree with both, but think jc would have beaten bh at any age.

                    i want to see jc get it on with pavlik or dawson. win those three fights and he's one of the GOAT.....
