How does Calzaghe's resume stand now that he has beaten Hop?

[TheGreatA]

I would like to have some kind of an option between average and all time great material. Very good maybe? That would be my choice.

In just 2 or 3 fights it could be great, depends on what he does in the LHW division.

[sparked_85]

I said ATG but in reality he needs wins against Jones and Pavlik and even the biggest anti calz people will have a hard time questioning his greatness.

Although that Pavlik fight doesn't look that makeable and in my mind there is no point making a Dawson fight, it would be a boring fight and Dawson is not the man at this division.

I wish could vote for two. I think t is ATG material in the way that he will go down as the number 1 or 2 in the 168 division (as of now) but at the same time it is lacking big name power.

[Silencers]

His resume is solid.

Hopkins is an ATG fighter...

Kessler, Lacy and Eubank are NOBODIES.

WTF, seriously dumbest statement I have read for a long while on here.

In response to the question, the guy has reigned undefeated as a Champion for over 10 years, prior to the Lacy fight, his resume was questioned and many thought Lacy would win, Calzaghe gave him a boxing lesson and completely outclassed him, then apparently Lacy was overrated???, then against Kessler again some thought Kessler was too fast too young and after Calzaghe beat him Kessler then became overrated???
He did what everyone wanted, came to the States and fought a true great in front of his home crowd with home officials and beat him and now Hopkins was too old or he was robbed???

Is a joke to be honest and in certain ways it was similar to Lennox Lewis who dominated the Heavyweight division yet is not rated by many as a Top Ten all time heavyweight???

Calzaghe's record and career will be dissected in years to come and it will be agreed that what he has achieved is extra ordinary by dominating his division, making weight and maintaining the levels and ability's his still shows today without jumping up and down the weights or fighting much smaller men who happen to have a name.

Of course he is an all time great if for nothing else at all for being arguably the greatest Super Middle of all time.

if he beats Jones Jr and someone else then i'd say scraping ATG material and definitely the best British fighter of all time

[black.ink]

I don't think its an all time great resume. A great resume is more precise.

Even if he does beat Roy, i'm still not sure i'll call it an all time great resume due to criticism on how post-prime certain opponents were.

I will never knock Calzaghe for who he beat or how he beat them.

He has impressive names on there.....but not enough.

[Shrectum]

he is the best. i love him.

[Pullcounter]

this is a thread for serious objective posters. The fact is, he beat Hopkins. Just like Pacquiao can boast a win over JMM even though many thought JMM won, Cal can boast a win over Hopkins. How do you feel Joe Cal's resume is now?

Calzaghe's resume is good for this generation but not all time great.

[ElGranLuchador]

calzaghe its an all time great he already set the record for most defenses of a title
