    Thanks.
    Grow some brains yourself, they made very very good points....

      Everyone is talking about him because of his fights against Lacy, Hopkins, Jones.

      When were people talking about him back in 2002??

            Joe Calzaghe will be remembered for both along with being the best MW-LHW of his era.

                    he should be remembered as a good fighter that never went out of his way to fight elite opposition.. he's not an all time great fighter in my eyes.. joe's defender may say bika is elite, or kessler is elite.. lets be real they are ok fighters kessler at best is a B class fighter im not taking those wins from him but i mean come on.. Joe's best opposition is against a 43 year old man who is past his prime, and a 40 year old guy who isnt even 40 % of what he used to be.. i thought he lost against hopkins but i can see how they gave it to joe.. and he did beat roy.. but that says something about a guy having his best opposition against a 43 year old and a 40 year old.. he shouldn't be praised for the jones victory hell he got knocked down.. anyone with sense would know a prime jones would beat calzaghe.. joe in my eyes is a good fighter but he isnt great.. he didnt go out of his way to fight elite fighters.. he should of came to u.s. years ago ala ricky hatton, lennox lewis, prince naseem, etc.
