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

[msagrain]

Hopkins is an ATG fighter...

Kessler, Lacy and Eubank are NOBODIES.

are you a idiot? chris eubank is a nobody? wtf !

Certainly not average. Potential for "all time great." Perhaps depending on his last couple of matchups.

The Hopkins fight will really hurt any P4P legitimacy he's credited for now in the future. I voted average, but this is silly though, Joe IS going to go down as an ATG for what he's done at SMW.

I don't follow, why will P4P legitimacy be hurt in the future for beating the LHW number one, becoming top in yet another division?

You seem to be rating on what some other peoples perceptions might be, even predicting, rather than rating what you think. Have some faith old boy!

As far as I and most are concerned, the increasing majority accept Joe fully deserves jumping up two positions to the number 3 in the world, P4P slot.

Hopkins has only helped his resume, and the predictable age excuses don't cut it, it suites Hops style and he's beaten top guys and been very competitive post 40.

Joe could do with more names, but he's begging the question, who determines what are big names? He caned Lacy and Manfredo, whom many think were bigger names and things on his resume, than Reid, Mitchell, Bika, Woodhall and others. People and especially pro boxers are now looking back and re assessing and aligning they're views on the fighters on Joes' resume.

Kessler was over all tougher than Hopkins though isn't as big a name in many a peoples eyes, why, he is bigger and better!

Resume could be better but it's still pretty good, has improved with a win over Hopkins whom many top guys struggled to pull off and often didn't, and will continue to get bigger as people re assess they're views on his resume and fighting another big name next.

Yeah, he's probably American. Can you imagine if Benn and Eubank were from the US? The praise they'd get would be unimaginable, but because they are British.....'they're not as good as people suggest'.

Idiots.

He needs to beat pavlik, tarver and jones, like others have said, in order to become a real "legend killer".

[Trevbutler]

I dont think he is ATG material. Calzaghe said he wants to be the "legend killer". From fighting Hopkins and wanting RJJ he should be calling it, "over the hill legend killer".

What is this guy smoking. Calling out a WAY past his prime fighter. RJJ is an ATG. Although I think he should have retired 2 years ago. He beat Felix but a blown up version fighting way too heavy. I hoped he would retire after the Hanshaw fight, he looked like crap in that fight to me.

If he wants to impress me he needs to fight someone thats not almost all the way down the backside of the mountain. Pavlik or Taylor maybe?

"Legend Killer" hahahahaha. So Kevin McBride was a legend killer for beating an elderly mike tyson?

[hypeassasian]

The Hopkins "win" hurts his resume more then anything because he got put on his ass and went life and death with a shot, 43 year old shell of Hopkins. Everybody knows that.....

[K-Nan]

I don't like the poll options you put up. There is no middle ground between average and ATG? I wanted to say "Very good".

[Jim Jeffries]

He needs to beat pavlik, tarver and jones, like others have said, in order to become a real "legend killer".

Woah, Pavlik and Tarver are "legends?"
