    When they had a chance t fight each other in their primes, no one budged from their thrones and just bad mouthed each other.

    They let politics get in the way.

    The only loser is the boxing fan who could only speculate as to who could beat who while at the top of their games.

    People will always say Calz fought and beat two of the best super middles past their prime and on the decline. The other two were considered over hyped.

      "I was watching it in Italy, it was the same night England beat Italy to qualify for the soccer World Cup.

      "Calzaghe showed and proved power, speed, strength, workrate, stamina, chin, heart and every tangible and intangible that night and that's why I'm not suprised that he's not lost since.

      "Sometimes it's like watching a welterweight or junior-middleweight in a super-middleweight's body because he's so nimble and sharp handed. I would never bet against him."
      what is your source?

        Joe is not an ATG and was not the best of his generation. However he should be in the HOF and is one of the best ever at 168. He also shouldn't take all the blame for not fighting RJJ or Hopkins in their primes, but does deserve half the blame. The biggest thing that I don't like about Joe is that he beat Hop and Roy at the age he did and talks like they were at their best rather than taking those wins for what they are.
