Not when put up against the p4p elite of the last 10 years.Many of his opponents have held world titles:
Eubank (WBO twice, at 160 and 168)
Reid (WBC at 168)
Hopkins (IBF, WBC, WBO, WBA, Ring at 160, and IBO, Ring at 175)
Kessler (WBA and WBC at 168)
Lacy (IBF at 168)
Mitchell (WBA twice at 168)
Brewer (IBF at 168)
Veit (interim WBO twice at 168)
Woodhall (WBC at 168)
Thornberry (IBO at 168)
Some of the others were strong opponents too:
Bika (contender champion 2007)
Sheika (was coming off a win over Glen Johnson)
Some were undefeated:
Kessler (39-0)
Lacy (21-0)
Veit (30-0)
Hughes (12-0)
Delaney (21-0)
Calzaghe currently holds the prestigious Ring title in two different weight classes, super middleweight and light heavyweight, at the same time!
It's a very good resume by any standards.
Roy Jones:
beat 18 world champions on his resume.
beat 7 multi-division champions.
4 division champion (including heavyweight)
undisputed light heavyweight champion
3 time LT heavy champion
Wins over several hall-of-famers (Hopkins, Toney, McCallum, Johnson, Trinidad)
James Toney:
4 division champion
beat 13 world champions
beat at least 5 multi-division champions
By the time of James Toney's 1st loss (to Roy Jones in 1994), in only his 5th year as a pro and at 26 years of age, he had already amassed a record of 44-0-2, was a 2 division champion and had beaten:
Undefeated reigning middleweight champion/p4p contender Michael Nunn (36-0)
Undefeated Merqui Sosa (18-0)
3-division champion Reggie Johnson (29-1)
3-division champion Mike McCallum (42-1)
undefeated Tim Littles (24-0)
3-division Champion and reigning IBF Super Middleweight / WBA Light Heavyweight Champion Iran Barkley (30-7)
Since then, he won titles in 2 more weight divisions, beat undefeated CW champ Vasily Jirov, KO'd Holyfield in his first fight at heavyweight (no one has since), and beat several top ranked Heavyweights by standing toe-to-toe.
Floyd Mayweather:
5 division champion
Beat undefeated p4p contenders Diego Corrales and Ricky Hatton
beat 14 champions
6 multi-division champions
undisputed welterweight champion
Manny Pacquiao:
moved up 7-weight classes
4 division champion
5-1-1 against Barrera, Morales, Marquez (p4p fighters)
I could go on...Last edited by superchamp; 05-30-2008, 05:43 PM.Comment

and he was a 2 division champion.
Trinidad at 170 means **** all sorry, especially at this stage.
Barkley was overrated, he got KOed in 1 round by Benn.
Mayweather is a 5 division champion but like Roy he did not fight the best in every division he supposedly "conquered" Roy never fought Lewis, Mayweather never fought Forrest, Cotto, Tszyu, Casamayor etc..Comment

Given how long he's been in the sport, it's a very average resume. All he really has to boast about is being undefeated and the wins over a 43 year old Hopkins and an undefeated Kessler who may or may not get better. Roy's win over Hopkins meant very little at the time, but it was better as the years went by. I don't see any of Calzaghe's opponents aside from Kessler doing anything after fighting Joe.

Out of all of those names, Lacy, Kessler, Eubank and Hopkins were the only ones that deserves any attention. Hopkins and Eubank were past their prime and many people believe that they would have beaten Calzaghe at their best. The only two wins for me that stands out for Calzaghe is Lacy and Kessler. Both good unbeaten fighters that were in their preak. The rest, like Veit, Woodhall ect are more protected British fighters(no disrespect to the British) with paper belts. They haven't fought anyone and was never highly regaurded. Sorry but they are no one.Comment

Well that is being disrespectful whether you intend it to be or not is another matter.Out of all of those names, Lacy, Kessler, Eubank and Hopkins were the only ones that deserves any attention.

Woodhall was a very good fighter, certainly not a "paper champion".Comment

Yeah, you should also add some of the embarrassing losses these fighters (minus Mayweather) have and also that Jones and Toney were known cheaters by using steroids to enhance their performances.Not when put up against the p4p elite of the last 10 years.
