    but lewis is p4p better, just the opposition he faced were all majority at the elite level....The SMW division didnt help calzaghe...it wasnt the strongest of divisions, not his fault tho
    You are forgetting one thing-Lewis got KTFO twice! Calzaghe never lost a single fight!

        Lennox wins include
        mike tyson
        holyfield
        vitali
        tommy morrison
        ray mercer

        hopkins
        roy jones jr
        ??????????????

        I agree with Lennox as well but I put about as much stock in Lennox's win over Tyson as Joe's win over Roy. Not a whole lot.

            cause calz never fought anyone good that wasn't a senior citizen and was protected by warren. (except for kessler)

              Lennox didn't avoid people like Joe did, in fact he was the one being avoided. Joe would have waited for Holyfield to take out hsi pension first

                Robin Reid was a first class fighter in his prime and gave Joe a very tough fight. He beat Henry Wharton, another prime British fighter and Julio Cesar Vasquez, one of the best lmws ever.

                      Didn't Calzaghe drop out of a Glen Johnson fight like 3 times, correct me if I'm wrong...
