    is he ****. he'll be lucky to make the list for past ten years. He ducked everyone in their prime, why can nobody see this? Sven Ottke is a joke, and kessler is slightly above average and gave him big trouble. calslappy is a joke.

      Calzaghe ws just a unified SMW champ... its easy to find 25 fighters who have acheived more, though they might not necessarily be better fighters.

        I am talking in terms of resume and accomplishments when I talk about achievements.

        Also, try not to place too much stock in people winning ****ty belts in 344 divisions, it is a mistake.

          In the past 30 years there has just been too many greats for Joe to be able to crack top 25. I am sure one of these greats will beat him come Nov 8th.

              I dont know, the 80's alone produced about 20 fighters who would be seen as better.
