    Lolz at Hopkins being an ATG, yet Calzaghe isn't. If only Joe had beat up a couple of Welterweights.

      Why is only Calzaghe fans can come up with something as ridiculous as that?

      Tell em which WW's?

      Oscar De La Hoya bout was practically at LMW, and Trinidad was Champ at MW.

      That is leagues better than the medicore jokes Calzaghe fought in half empty stadiums

        i say no because he would've faced MUCH stiffer competition MUCH earlier in his career and would've lost prior to beating old jones and hopkins.

          Calzaghe was a great fighter. He will be more respected over time. Top Ten? Are you high? Did you start watching boxing last week?

              He WAS an amazing fighter, too easilly impressed? name me other people i say are "amazing fighters" besides pacquiao.... Hes done enough to be an ATG....You dont go undefeated like that in your career and he did have some fkin hard fights...people say B-hop is past it...but how long ago was calzaghe past it? just because he still does his best and looks great...he wasnt in his prime either...

              The jones fight wasnt exactly good, but it was something i think joe needed to do at the end of his career n good on him...
              Calzaghe is still in his prime but he is towards the end of it. If you think his Prime is against those Journeymen then you are wrong. There are fighters who's prime is when they get older like Hopkins, Moore, And Marquez right now. Calzaghe is still in his prime as a fighter. But even tho he is, he doesn't wanna lose his "0"

                  I'd put Calzaghe in the top 10 for the last 20 years, and that's towards the end of the scale.
                  Excellent fighter, but Ottke wouldn't fight him so he could fully clean out the division earlier, & the Jones, Hopkins & Toney fight's weren't made...
                  - they weren't willing to travel, & Calzaghe wasn't known well enough in the US to bring in the big money at the time to attract him over there either...
