    Also he had two weeks to prepare and had to weight drain himself just to make weight. Was planning to fight at 175

    A green Ward in his 21st fight stopped Calzaghe
    A prime Calzaghe UD Kessler

    Difference

      Why simply because Kessler is his best win and he knows his legacy depended on that mans success


      It the cold truth, just swallow the pill of reality Calzaghe fans.
      Thats like saying mayweathers resume is garbage because his best win was a competitive fight with delahoya, but when pac fought delahoya he made him look like ****.

          Again, let’s do some simple maths

          Floyd fought Oscar at 154 for WBC title while Oscar was ranked number 1 Jr MW. Oscar weighed 167 pounds fight night
          Pacman forced Oscar down to 147, a division where Oscar has not fought in 7 years and not ranked nor had a title. Pacman outweighed Oscar fight night, Oscar was the smaller man


          Pacman's win over Hatton is better than PBF's over Hatton, that I agree

            Johnson is a great name to have on your resume, Johnson went on to beat Woods, Griffin, Tarver, RJJ. I'm surprised you mention all those loses because most were due to robberies.


            He was also underdog against Tarver, Tito and Pavlik and not only won but dominated the 3.

            B-Hop's resume ain't the one to fuck with.
            hopkins competition consistently beat calzaghe's competition proving hopkins fought the better opponents.

            keith holmes dominated and knocked out richie woodhall before calzaghe fought him
            echols beat salem and knocked out brewer before calzaghe fought them.
            johnson also beat sheika but was robbed so calzaghe can have that one lol.

              if that was mayweathers only good win then yes you could say that. but he actually beat good fighters for most his career until recently. calzaghe not so much.

                  The only shameful thing here is how Calzaghe was once labelled a HOFer. Calling him a ATG was more of a disgrace

                      There is no doubt Calzaghe will end up in the HoF but a top50 (or whatever) ATG?

                      I don't think so... no.
