    you are right we will never know. saying someone is an all time great based upon what they might have done. that's a first.

          Well done for breaking the Low IQ barrier on teh calzaghe side, as if having ****** people on the hater side wasn't enough.

            Neither Calzaghe or Mosley are ATGs.They are HOFers though.

              calzaghe would've beaten sugar ray robinson if only he didn't duck him by being no longer alive.

                Isn't that what everyone says about guys Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather should have met but didn't?

                  True. Thankfully, they beat some prime pound for pounders at their peak as well so we don't have to speculate on that.

                    WHAT, SRR could have come back, he didn't die until 89!

                    Joe was an Amature then, SRR was clearly scared.
