Is Calzaghe an atg? If so where is he ranked?

[TheGreatA]

Is there such a thing as a top 100 all time great?

I reserve the term for fighters such as Willie Pep, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Harry Greb, Roberto Duran, the best of the best, but a case could be made for Joe if you aren't as strict about using the term.

All time? No way.

Top 100 for sure, though.

Accomplishment wise, he has done things that very few people have ever done. The undefeated record, the title defences, the reign as champion etc. He justifies top 30 status in my opinion, in the same way as Floyd justifies top 20 status.

Top 10 for sure.

I could name 10 heavyweights better all time than Calzaghe. What a joke.

i never sat down and tried but i would have to think that in the course of all the history of the sport we have 100 fighters who deserve a mention as an atg.

He's in the discussion but I have a hard time putting him ahead of modern guys like RJJ, Hopkins, Tyson, Holyfield, and JCC.

put him where you feel is best

For me he's an ATG. It's however extremely difficult to rate different eras and different weightdivisions. So I'll just say that he's a great fighter for me.
