        To be truthful Guled, I don't know. There are a lot of good fighters in history, and I know approx 1% of them, if that. I have no doubt that Calzaghe is an all time great boxer around his weight though, take whatever the accepted list of MW - LHWs is and stick him at the bottom if you like.

          Out of those, I would chose Top 50, I don't think Calzaghe would match well against the likes of Prime Hopkins, Toney, Jones Jr, (Archie) Moore etc.

            There are alot of fighters past and present i would prefer to watch over Calzaghe But You just gotta give it to Calzaghe ,love him or hate him hes achieved more than enough to be ATG !
            In ten years he made 21 Title defenses capturing all 4 belts whilst beating 8world champions !
            He also moved up and beat Hopkins for the Light heavyweight ring belt !
            I think its silly to say hes not an all time great and if you are your opinion is dubious IMO !

              i think he is defo a HOFer and prob sc****s in as an ATG too, i blame his promoter for his resume (which isnt as bad as we all make out) but he beat who was put infront of him and thats all you can do as a boxer!

                    im guessing you haven't seen him fight. you can name all his accomplishments but when you watch him do actual "boxing" you will **** your pants in laughter.
