      I think the fact that Lacy is his biggest win says it all.

          It has to be said no matter which way you stand on the calzaghe hug/hate-o-meter 168 just plain ****** and there wasn't very many good fight out there.

          Personally i don't think it's much better now as it happens, just that that the majority are equally as bad as each other.

                Pavlik fight would have been interesting but could they have filled up Madison Square Gardens and attract as much interest?
                I think it was three times, Glen Johnson talks about it in the Averge Joe documentary. Not sure how popular Pavlik is, but I think it would of done better than the 200 k ppv buys Calzaghe did against Jones .

                      no sarcarm what so ever.

                      Joe was an unbeaten SMW with 20 title defences. Hell of an achievement. But if someone else can claim the exact same thing (robberies or not) its not as good is it? Beating Otke would've helped his resume.
                      Then there would only be 1 unbeaten SMW with 20 title defences.
