        Probably because of things like this. Im a fan of Joe but I didnt actually think people said stuff like that.

            Because his legacy is a fraud.

            He made out Kessler to be his best win. He always talked about Kessler like he is unbeatable. Hopkins asked him "Who did you beat" Calzaghe replied with a smile "Kessler". Calzaghe tipped Kessler to win the super six.

            But really happened. He was schooled by a green Ward in a one sided boxing display. Even Froch resume will be better than Calzaghe's at SMW if he beats Kessler. How shameful. Froch does more at SMW in less fights and being undefeated.

            Also Eubank wasn't a great win at all. Eubank entered a 2 week weight draining regime just to make weight and he never won a fight again.

            What does he have left? A win over Lacy and a questionable win over hopkins.

            The man is nothing more than a fraud

                What part do you not agree with?

                B Hop and Roy Jones were the best of his era and he defeated them both in the same year. Fact.

                He beat everyone he ever faced and was never ko'd, Fact.

                And I said possibly the greatest of all-time. Id actually rank Hagler and maybe Archie Moore ahead of him but no one else.

                  Don't you at least agree that whoever wins the super six becomes a better super middleweight than calzaghe? Honestly.

                      that era ended long ago and calzaghe was never a part of it. why didn't he fight a guy like dawson who is the best of the now era? not the 90's era?

                      you also must think tarver and jermain taylor are the 2 best fighters of all time since they beat those same guys when they were actually near peak, in their actual weight classes and more decisively. oh yea you also think danny williams is the greatest cause he beat tyson right? Fact.
