    Who thinks Calzaghe is underrated on this site?

    I like Calzaghe, he wins every fight in convincing fashion and the haters hate him because he is unorthodox and looks like he slaps.

    Let him start slapping the haters and see how weak his punches are..or maybe it would be the fact that he would out-throw, out-class, and out-last the haters....easily

    He is a professional boxer, his slaps probably would KO most ppl on this forum

        I think he's a great fighter, and even out of his prime would still destroy most ppl anywhere from 168-175, although I do feel he's less great than the likes of Jones and Hopkins.

            Do you mean if i consider him ATG like some of his fans do?
            I have no hate towards Joe..just lingering questions.Yes i do find his "slaps" annoying but those slaps hurts.........

              He did duck true competition but he is a great champion especially back in his prime when he could actually punch. I think he should have fought Dawson to see if he really was the best light heavyweight, which he never was.

                  All I'm saying is that people trash him like he could never beat anyone...I can't agree with that, he was better than most.

                    Its about half and half. The same amount of people that trash him also says that hes the greatest fighter of this era, would have beaten a prime Jones and wasn't protected. I personally don't think hes underrated, but at the same time hes not overrated. I think he would have eventually lost if he kept fighting at light heavyweight (specifically to the man in my avatar), but hes definitely the greatest super middle of all time IMO. Not the most skilled super middle, but the greatest achieved.
