    not that i agree he should be rated as an ATG or even above Mosley, but threadstarter seems a little misinformed

If anything Mosley should be considered a ATG before Calzaghe. Accomplishments even fighters Mosley has faced is way better. Defending your title againest subpars, past prime fighters all your career should hurt you, not bring you ATG status. he should get big credit for unifying the division with Lacy and Kessler but thats about it. the rest of his career is ****. he barely beat Hopkins and fought a Jones past his best days, where in his prime he'd smoke Joe. He's not close to ATG, HOF, yes. noway his resume beats Mosley.
      i know, calzaghe is nothing compared to mosely

        I was thinking the same thing.

        Neither are ATG's... They shouldnt be called ATG's.

          Are you crazy? Calzaghe beat Evans Ashira with a broken hand.

            Difference between Mosley and Calzaghe is Mosley fought the best out there in their prime, Calzaghe did not. Calzaghe has fought two prime fighters Lacy,Kessler and neither are on the level of the fighters below. J J Leija is a better fighter than Lacy


            Prime Vernon Forrest,Winky wright,DLH.

            Calzaghe past prime Eubank,Mitchell,Reid,Brewer,Jones,Hopkins.


            Former champs past their best old men is all Calzaghe is interested in or Unproven prospects, their is always an angle with Joe.

              What? But calzaghe beat a prime Kessler, you know who Kessler just beat?

              Danilo Haussler, a hall of fame fighter. U think Mosley could beat Haussler?

                    mosley you idiot you should have stayed at lightweight with a bogus wbo title and defended it against bums ranked outside the top 10 and maybe throw in a few faded former champs for good measure. then you would be ALL TIME GREAT material like calzaghe.

                    oh yea and to end your career move up to 140 to fight a 45 year old chavez and get a split decision that no one thinks you deserved.

                      Everyone wanted Calzaghe to fight Hopkins after he beat Bika and Kessler? Why all this hype about him only beating old men? Kessler wasn't old and Lacy was in his prime condition. You guys tend to remember, that the US were bragging about Lacy being the new Mike Tyson. Calzaghe just showed that it takes more than hype to build a good fighter.
