I honestly never even heard about Joe until like 2003 when Showtime finally started airing his fights. At that time, when questioned he even said himself he wouldn't fancy a Jones fight. He got brave after Jones and Hopkins lost and maybe inspired him enough to think he could beat them in their later stages.
I'm not saying it was anyones fault, but he was a nobody in terms of overall boxing fame and if those fights were to happen, it was up to him to get it done.
So, that said, sure he gets credit for beating those legends even as old as they were, but since I consider Kessler his best win it shows exactly how much credit. Not a whole lot.
Calzaghe's best wins in order: In my opinion, of course.
1)Kessler
2)Hopkins
3)Eubank
4)Jones
5)Lacy
