    Hang on...

    Calzaghe beats the best SMW in America, LACY. (Yep, believe it or not, people were saying that **** a couple of years ago).

    He beats the best SMW in Europe and possibly the world, KESSLER.

    He then beats the best LHW in the World, HOPKINS.

    He never claims to be the greatest, or a legend or any of that bull****.

    So how can he be overrated?

      Because his fans and people from wales overrate him and aren't objective about his wins over jeff lacy and kessler who fought no one at all until they fought Calzaghe. Whats Calzaghes 6 best wins compared to Pavliks? I'm getting tired of this ducking crap, before that fight where Calzaghes boy lockett got his ass beat Calzaghe wanted Pavlik, but then when Calzaghes daddy came home he told him no you can't have Pavlik... Bitches right?

        Makes sense when those 20 title defenses are mostly against bums and ****ty opposition. Peter ****ing Manfredo, give me a ****ing break and all the other crap boxers on his resume

          If that was true, then Popkins is even more overrated than Calzaghe.

            Chris Eubank, Robin Reid, Jeff Lacy, Mikkel Kessler, Bernad Hopkins and Byron Mitchell. What are Pavlik's best wins?

              brits on this site think he would beat a prime jones and toney,

              calzaghe`s achievements have been distorted beyond belief,

              i expect ricky and other calzaghe fans to be hyping roy jones up and making him out to still be a great fighter so they can make out calzaghe`s win to be more meaningful even though roy jones is a completely washed up fighter and should have retired after getting ktfo twice in a row

                Pavlik beat Zertuche, mckart, Zuniga, Miranda and Taylor twice. I think there resumes are close enough to warrent a fight instead of the ducking Calzaghe is doing.

                  So Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler were 0-0 before they fought Calzaghe and it was their pro debut?

                    Feel free to hate on him if you feel you must for whatever reason, but there have been more undeservin fighters in terms of the praises they've gotten.

                      If Hopkins is shot then what condition is Winky Wright in given that he lost to him or Jermain Taylor given that he fought two close fights with him only a few years ago and who you rate highly as it makes Pavlik sound better.

                      I agree that Pavlik is deserving of a fight with Calzaghe if that's what he wants but Calzaghe also deserves the right to choose the best offer on the table without being accused of ducking.
