    I aint sure about being a slamdunk.........the warren era hurts him.........but an argument can be made..............personally im leaning towards JOE making it to a 100..............but its subjective

      Ontopic, Joe Calzaghe is an hall of famer but not an atg, and he is no way the best fighter from britain of all time.
      I thinkyou should broaden that from Britain to Europe. If not Zag then who is? Hatton? Hamed? Haye? Pickens are slim. No offense. Maybe Im not familiar enough.

          Be thorough and say why he doesnt deserve it. I dont particularly care for Joe Louis' style but he was a winner and good at the way he did his thing. I was never high on DLH but he consistently won and faced good opponents. I dont think Hatton is a very good boxer skill-wise but he fought good comp and won 40 fights so I wont attack his fans for giving him an ATG nod. Well unless they diss one of my favs. U see the pattern Im making. Rhyme and reason.
          Everyone knows why he doesn't deserve it. He's undefeated for a reason, and it is not because he's one of the ATG. What i was trying to say was that there is motive to why fans of his constantly have to hail him, and convince boxing fans that he really is as good as his record. Read between my lines

                Who cares? You go by your record. And his isn't ATG.

                  His record had a zero in the loss column. What the hell are you talking about?

                    Calzaghe is an hall of famer just for the fact that he was graced as a good fighter in a ****ty division. He isnt a hall famer cause he is one of the best fighters ever he just managed to finish his career undefeated.

                      So you don't think 43 is old in boxing?
