    Pretty much every opponent was tailor made for him. He was a Frank Warren prizefighter. By the time he got into the ring with the big names, they where far from there best. (Hopkins and Jones)

      he Beat a 43 Year Old Hopkins by SD who many feel he lost *LIKE ME*

      His resume doesn't get him no where near top 100 to me. I laugh if somebody puts him top 50. He ducked Johnson, Dawson, Froch, etc. He left to many names out there and even stated you would have had to pay him SUPER MONEY to fight Jones back in 2003 because he wouldn't risk it lol. If your a fan then i pity you. Your a fan or a ducker/overrated/sissy fighter who was protected for all his career.
      I bet you hadn't heard of Froch until the Taylor fight. Pascal at the earliest.

      I bet you probably had Lacy to knock him out.

      Kessler hasn't been the same fighter since and this didn't help with inactivity.

      As for mentioning Roy Jones Jr getting knocked out by Green. Hopkins would never take the risk of leaving America again and going up against a bigger man at cruiserweight. Credit for Roy taking on such a risk.

        Nope i just put facts out there and everybody bitches by saying im crying or im a hater when im just stating reality. REALITY is Calzaghe Ducked Jones and B-Hop in their Primes then waited till they were 40 year PLUS. lol

        Reality is Calzaghe best wins are probably Lacy and Kessler. LOL if that makes him an ATG then i guess the standards are getting lower.

            5 SMWs right now? Or of all time?

                calzaghe's best win is against a 43 year old blown up middleweight where he landed only a handful of clean punches the entire fight and most think he got a gift. doesn't that say it all?

                its funny how calzaghe fans can say kessler isn't the same after 1 close loss but yet roy jones and hopkins are the same even though they are old geezers with multiple losses? hypocrite much?

                  To be Honest who knew who Calzaghe was before the Lacy fight? lol I been following looked up Froch after the pascal win and seen he been calling Calzaghe out FOR YEARS. But Calzaghe avoided him. Calzaghe AVOIDED JOHNSON.

                  And Hopkins wouldn't go over to another country to fight a C level CRUiserweight because he isn't desperate for wins like Jones is. He could get BIG NAME fights. So if you credit Roy Jones for getting knocked out in the 1st round by a C Level Fighter, then shoot yourself .. lol
