Let's all agree now. Calzaghe is an ATG.

      I thought his fight with hop could of gone either way. there was nothing dominating about it in the least.

        Joe was dominating B-Hop in the second half of the fight.

          Anyone who thinks that Calzaghe isn't a sure hall of famer is either hopelessly biased or just plain ignorant. I'm not even a fan of Joe, but please, his record speaks for itself.

            sorry no. Not taking away. but dont give anything either. Hop last night wasnt the same fighter I watched L too JT, and JC. Even when he beat Winky and Tarver. Hop last night was a something on anther level. meaning His age was not a factor and was more active in ONE round VS Pav than he was in the entire fights of JC and JT.

            That is the only reason I dont give anything to either JC or JT..... Not only that neither guy "BEAT' Hopkins just slightly out worked him. Joe being the worse of the two. JT beat Hop more than Joe did

            Anyway HOP is a BAMF'in ATG. Joe's lucky if hes gets in the HOF...... ATG? GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL....................... ...

            I mean NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!!!! Not in this life time
            WESS, Hops was unable to look as good against Calzaghe, as he could Pavlik because there different fighters you dufus.

            Calzaghe had the speed, movement, work rate, feinting, and resilience to disable Hopkins from looking that good and schooling him.

            Stop being so profoundly ******, it's embarrassing.

                Calzaghe is an ATG in Europe, not the world. He's a HOF though... can't knock his reign at 168.

                  He is a Great,but not an ATG,since there are question marks about how he would have performed against the very best in their primes..

                    Even the yanks must now acknowledge. Joe Calzaghe is an ALL-TIME-GREAT!
                    all time great? give me a break..maybe a hall of famer..but Calzaghe hasn't done enough to be an all time great.

                    If he had beat Hopkins in his Prime then yes he would be, but he got a half assed win over a 43 year old version, which is STILL good..but not all time great, especially when I don't think he even won.

                      You are taking the piss,now.The Hopkins-Pavlik fight was a total blowout.
                      The Hopkins-Calzaghe fight,though I think Joe edged it, could very well have gone either way.
