    He already is to alot of fans.
    But you know the Mayweather fans, some bitter Mexican fans and soon the Hatton fans will hate.

      Then you clearly don't follow much boxing, sir.

        not by themselves, but if you add RJJ, Hopkin, Kessler and others to the list.

        Ultimately there's nothing much impressive about Hopkin and Mayweather's resume which sets them apart from Calzaghe.

          He lost because he couldnt beat them..... Although i thought he beat Calzaghe.
          You make a good point about Hopkins hurting his legacy by losing when he was P4P number one. However with regards to the Calzaghe fight, he tired because of his age. Calzaghe however did prove he was able to pressure Hopkins like no one ever has, proved by the fact Pavlik was not able to do so. Hopkins would have had a tough fight against Calzaghe at any age but because he was 43 he was not able to cope with the pressure whereas if he was younger, his stamina would have stood up to the challenge

            Thats because you dont know the guys they've faced.

            Ive posted their opponents above.
            Have a read and educate yourself.

              I agree he'd be the best.

                you keep saying this but you're wrong. Also you combined their resumes/opponents. Alone they're not that great that they're set apart.

                  LOL............. Okay whatever.

                  I combined them to show you half the guys theyve fought. Thats half of their resume.

                  You must be crazy if you think wins over Mitchell, Eubank etc cement him a place in the best of this era list.

                  He's fought two hall of famers in Hopkins and Roy Jones. The Hopkins win was very very very close and its fair to say that Roy was shot when Joe beat him.

                  I'm not hating but this is the truth, Roy wasnt the Roy of the 1990's and Hopkins was 42 when Joe beat him.
