The interesting thing about fights of this nature is that the winners almost always seem to view the victory as a major accomplishment. Perhaps, it is the ghost of the memory of a former dominate fighter that they feel they have overcome. It is hard to say, but it is common theme. How many of us have heard Lennox Lewis extol about the virtues of his victory over Mike Tyson? And how many of us remember just how far Tyson had slid prior to that massacre?
And like Roy Jones Jr., the majority of Joe's foes lacked the credentials to be credible threats to his championship. Unfortunately for Calzaghe, unlike Jones and Hopkins, none of his super middleweight opponents were future hall-of-famers in their prime and the two hall-of-famers he did beat were so far past their prime that their significance on his resume is substantially reduced.

So why is everyone making so much noise as if Joe is a great fighter,he surely hasnt proved it.
Seconds out
