[hammerhiem]

Could you post your top 50 for analysis? Don't mean to impose but it would be interesting to see.

30-40 inpo

Rocky Marciano

So the question is whether or not Joe Calzaghe can be placed somewhere in that list, or even maybe at the very top?

I don't know who even dares to say that he is the Greatest of All times.

Not even the most extreme nuthugger hasn't said that, that I know of.

Personally (and I'm speaking for many here), we're still debating if he even belongs in the top 30 of ATG's. So he cleaned out the 168lb division.....FINE. That division has no history like the middleweight, welterweight or light-heavy divisions. There is nobody to stand in his way of all-time greatest super-middleweight because all the great ones ROY JONES/ JAMES TONEY were only passsing through that division. They didn't stay there for a decade.

So greatest Super-middle??? YES On P4P regardless of weight classes All-time greatness....might barely make the Top 30 cut.

Any Questions?

CO SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

If i knew how to green you i would

Floyd Mayweather is better than Calzahge, also undefeated and ranked higher when they were both active.
Truth.

Truth.

But, Mayweather hasn't won as many fights as Calzaghe.

He didn't have any premature stoppages or faced that amount of weak opposition.

Lol.. just lol...

Sorry.

But Mayweather is leagues above Calzaghe.

Hatton, De La Hoya, Coralles, Castillo, Judah, Baldomir and even Gatti to some extent.

WTF has calzaghe done?

Kessler, Lacy, Shot to bits RJJ and a dodgy Split decision against a 43 year old!?
lmfao

I agree mayweather is over-rated, but Mayweather is about 200 leagues above Calzaghe
