He's already a great fighter. ATG? No. (That word is being thrown around too much now) But one of the greats in our era? Yes, I believe so.

Anyone who could possibly say that he isn't is clearly hating. Just like you saying that you can't be an ATG unless your american and black. Hating.

As Kellerman said, there's a mandate for him to fight Chad Dawson. Besides that, I would like to see Joe fight Kelly Pavlik.

Haters will always hate him. Eubank was old Lacy over-rated Kessler green Hopkins old (even though he just trounced a 26yo lion). He would beat dawson with ease then Dawson was only 26.

this board is crazy Calzaghe deserves all the props in the world hes a truely great fighter. I just wish we could have seen more of him in America.

He fought and defeated two young champions, Lacy and Kessler.

I said before the Kessler fight Joe would still not be respected if he defeated Kessler, and people said I was wrong, he'll be respected then. But I was right.

If he fought and defeated Dawson, they'd just say Dawson is a bum.

People who hate him will never give him credit, but unbiased fans know how good he is.

That's Joe's beautiful girlfriend.

She's not a ******, she's a real woman.
