Calzaghe over-rated?

[MANGLER]

Let it go homey.

Tell em Chunk.

[BarrySlisk]

Nah don't think he was overrated. In here he is actually underrated.

He should have given Mikkel a rematch though

[Roger Mellie]

I was just thinking the same! It could be good. I wonder what tone the next 15-20 pages will take?

[screwhead1]

i didn't care for him...he could have proven a lot more over here if he wanted to be considered the greatest...i know he won't go on many top 10 lists...

[TonyJ]

No he gave him a boxing lesson (9-3 rounds) so there was no need for a rematch.
The most ppl here have no ****ing clue what they are talking about? "Jones KO'ed Calzaghe in the first round."
The whole comparison with Jones is bull****². Only because Jones MIGHT have beaten Calzaghe prime-prime, it makes Calzaghe a lesser fighter? Look what Jones did to Toney, who is still completely overrated because he is a fat yank.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Man i cant really blame him for retiring lets face it, he dominated that division for ages beat upcoming hyped contenders (Kessler/Lacy). After he beat Jones i don't see what else there was to do for him? he had beaten everyone pretty much, dawson (lol) was the only fight possible..

Now a year on just look at this tournament the likes of Froch, Abraham, Ward, dirrel etc Calzaghe could have taken them on and really enchanced his legacy even if he lost once. Shame he is gone

I think he's a bit overrated but he had a strong career, only problem is it was mainly in Europe so he never got more name recognition in the U.S.

[flyest1]

Not overated imo. He has some great wins like Eubank, Kessler, Lacy (hasn't been the same), and Hopkins. I still think the Hop fight was on of the ugliest fight of all-time. But he got the victory. He is the greatest SMW of all-time. I think Jones H2H is greater at that class. I just think if he fought at LHW he would have some problems.

To bad we never got to see him fight Toney or Hop at 168. Mchalski (sorry about the spelling) was suppose to pop off to. Wouldn't blame Joe for not going to Germany to fight him or Ottke

I really wished we could see how he would do against Glenn Johnson when they were suppose to fight those 3x. That would have been a great test if you ask me.

But I respect Joe
