      Dawson. Beat the hall of famers like Bernard and Roy. Then fight Dawson and Pavlik and that would give you a good resume. How can you be a hall of famer and only fight Lacy and Kessler in their primes. Calzaghe fans should DEMAND a fight with CD and KP.

        Joe Calzaghe is the most exciting boxer to spectate, he's able to make the fights so wild, with such a high phase, he's a daredevil and he has a chin of granite (only been down 3 times or something).
        I heard a lot of people saying: "He fight bums like Kessler and Lacy", when I read a quote like that I usually ignores it, because it's someone who without doubt has no clue what he is talking about.

        Joe Calzaghe's way of fighting is what makes him unique, it makes him something else than the average boxer. People who said the comment above this, are now saying that Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Junior are bad opponents because their no longer in their primetime. If I was Calzaghe and wanted to silence my critics I would have no clue of what to do, first he takes the two best young fighters and then (if) he takes Roy Jones Jr. he have taken the legends too. A man can ask himself, what is there to do?

        I know, I know. Pavlik. This fight is probably the best pound for pound fight there can be arranged in my eyes, if Calzaghe took the fight with Pavlik - There wouldn't be anymore people for him to fight. He would have taken everybody. I'm really looking forward to the Bernard Hopkins - Kelly Pavlik fight, because the majority of this site thinks that Bhop wil win it. If he does I don't think Joe should ever face Pavlik, but instead end his career after Jones, undefeated, and in my eyes the best fighter and the most interesting boxing personality of all times.

        Joe is a hero.

          Dawson barely made it past Johnson......

            You should be banned just for that comment. The best fighter of all time?

              Dawson is only better than Hopkins in the minds of his fans, on paper he isn't, he hasn't proved any such thing, yet. I'd love to see him and Calzaghe fight though. Imagine Joe had fought Dawson instead of Hopkins and won though. It would be "Dawson was unproven". Indeed, Dawson is not really any more proven than Mikkel Kessler at this point.

                  He has to do all of that in your little rule book just to be good. Hmmm.

                  I hardly think Dawson is the LHW #1 when many believe Jonhson beat him. At best he won by the skin of his teeth.

                  As for fights being demanded, there's scores of fights out there more worthy of such statements. Some people like you don't seem make such statements about them so much, wonder why that is.

                  It's because your like a desperate war monger in the navy. When every single one of his best troops have been beaten and he's got nothing left, he's still trying to convinced ppl he has a new unit or guy that can pull it off.

                  Joe Calzaghe is the LHW #1 and is undefeated. He can't fight everyone and anyone you want just like any boxer out there. Accept it.

                    Pavlik - Abraham, Pavlik - Kessler for example.

                      Indeed. Each of them far more logical fights, with each guy calling Pavlik out.

                      So by comparison you'd expect ppl to demand those fights are made way more.

                      Not the case, funny that.
