46-0-0.....People can hate but who has come close in this generation?

[Slater P Persin]

It's called chasing the champ idiot. Something Joe never wanted to do.

Jones > Hopkins > Calzaghe.

You know nothing about boxing and have shown over and over again that you are a nuthugging clown.

I think Hopkins is better then Jones. Calzaghe is not even close to either one of them unless their over 40.

0's mean nothing really, most of the time when someone has an 0 on their record it means that they are untested or avoided risk. Calzaghe is no doubt a great talent, I think he catches alot of hate for the same reason Mayweather catches hate. It's because they have great ability and didn't do anything risky to display the full potential of their abilities. Take someone like Emmauel Augustus, he may not have the ability of Calzaghe but rather the nature of a fighter and a willingness to take risk and in time Augustus will be more highly regarded than Calzaghe if he is not already.

look at the resume. and pay attention to who he fought, and when he fought them

Joe never proved anything to me..He beat a bunch of nobodys..then a few older guys...Wow

Exactly ..people get ****** over Calzaghe I've argued this point more than once..he beat a few guys past there prime and a bunch of nobodys.He's a bandwagon guy.Just about all of his fans jumped on the bandwagon.As soon as he lost a match they would have forgot about him and jumped on the next guy..I've learned to just not pay Calzaghe fans too much attention.Most of them are *new boxing fans.

im sorry, calzaghe is not greater than hopkins and jones. calzahe got his shine off getting a lucky decision against hopkins and beating a shot roy jones in less impressive fashion than tarver and johnson beat him. and before those fights, his 2 other significant victories were kessler and lacy.

i respect joe for his longetivity...but he is not an all time great fighter..greater than hopkins and jones? no way.

i also hate his technique. he reminds me of carlos maussa when he fights...

boxers greater than calzaghe from the last era are hopkins, jones, mayweather, pacquiao, marquez, barrera, morales, tito...

Tarver lost to Jones and landed a lucky punch in the rematch, Calzaghe completely dominated Jone's from start to finish like nobody ever has.

Eubank, Reid, Sheika, Veit, Brewer, Mitchell and Bika were also all really good fighters.

We don't have to make a hypothetical of who was better Jones, Hopkins or Calzaghe when Calzaghe proved he was the better fighter in the ring, where biases can't effect the outcome! All the excuses in the world won't change the outcome of those fights.

Joe Calzaghe is an All-Time great, deal with it!

[tommy boo boxer]

Joe is criticized for fighting "nobodies" but then you call him a "nobody back then" so how was he supposed to make a fight with Jones back then in their "primes"?

What "big name" "prime" fighter's should Calzaghe have fought???

There's nothing Calzaghe can/could do to prove himself to idiots like you, besides lose. It just burns y'all haters that Joe is retiring undefeated with victories over the only other MW-LHW (Hopkins and Jones) of his generation that can claim to be as great as Calzaghe. Learn to deal with it because you can't change history no matter how many hate post y'all make about the great Joe Calzaghe!

Calzaghe > Jones > Hopkins

Pbf > Calzaghe then...

[celtic tiger]

prime jones beats prime joe by ko!!! but you still cant take away what joe has done for boxing, and there is always if buts and maybe, joe was great ,but is not in the same league as srr and ali
