Would CALZAGHE be TOP 10 ATG if he would be AMERICAN? POLL

He has better resume then FOREMAN for sure!

He has a better resume than MANNY for sure.

It's hard to say. If Joe was an American he probably would have fought Jones, Hopkins, Toney Johnson, Tarver etc.. all in their primes. If he had beaten all of them he'd be up their.

This **** is all up to interpretation anyway.

This is the perfect POST right here. He would have fought all of them in their prime, and if he would have beaten half of them, he would be considered greater then he is to the REAL boxing fans. It's just Brits overrate him because they dont have many good fighters all time.

No but I'd suspect he'd be more highly thought of.

Joe would have been laughed out of the US.

We wouldn't think highly of him at all..especially considering America's great boxing heritage.

Think before you type m8.

Which fighter fought all these guys in their prime?

Jones, Hopkins, Toney and Tarver where never in Calzaghe's division prime or otherwise.

Toney for example was fighting at Cruiserweight by the time Calzaghe won a title.

Go look at Glen johnsons "prime" SMW record before mentioning his name.

Come on homie...I didnt say that he had a better resume better than Jones or Hopkins but I gotta be real and give the dude his props...He could have done a lot better IMO but he did run a division and remain on top for 10 years...despite his subpar resume...Joe was a decent fighter IMO...He style wasnt all that though. Windmilling your opponents isnt all that to me. LOL.

his title run is overrated. Fought many journeymen for a Chump belt. (WBO) how are you gonna have the WBO for ten years before trying to unify. Doesn't make sense.

I always think before reading your posts and remember not to take them seriously.

Hopkins fought Johnson when Johnson was undefeated. Fought Jones when jones was entering his prime. Fought Tarver when Tarver was the man.

And Toney, i understand, nobody in MW to LW could fight him because he didn't train and just kept getting fatter.

It took Hopkins almost as long to unify the middleweight division.........against a welterweight.

Hopkins fought Johnson when Johnson was undefeated. Fought Jones when jones was entering his prime. Fought Tarver when Tarver was the man.

And Toney, i understand, nobody in MW to LW could fight him because he didn't train and just kept getting fatter.

So in other words.......no one
