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

    Winky is an ATG and a has a better resume then Calzaghe as well.
    This shows you as being more ****** than the comment about Lacy, Kessler and Eubank being nobodies.

    So Hopkins becomes a 'legend' and 'ATG' by beating nobodies (of which he's had his fair share), other legends who have come up 20 pounds higher than they should be (Wright, Trinidad, DLH), a genuine top contender (in Tarver) and losing to any truly top guy who is naturally around his weight range (RJJ, Calzaghe and Taylor).

    Calzaghe does all the same stuff but better, he beats the nobodies, he beats people who are quite small for the weight, he beat genuinely top contenders for his title in Lacy, he beat genuinely top fighters in Eubank and Kessler and he beat Hopkins himself...the only difference is that he hasnt lost whereas Hopkins has...5 times. Yet Hopkins is the legend and Calzaghe is nothing?

    Agree about the options. Calzaghe will definitely go down as an All Time Great, his career just wont necessarily be entirely recognised until he beats a couple more top people, or retires, at which point it will become remembered much better in retrospect.
