          it's hard to say as if he was then personally i think the level of competition he would have faced would be greater than what he experienced for the majority of his fights.

            This. Joke Calzaghe should have gone to the US earlier to make a name for himself. Nobody cares about Calzaghe outside of the UK. Rightfully so.

                  If he were American he might've moved up ages before or been forced to fight people other than his mandatories.

                    the obvious answer is:

                    He would be rated higher in American, but lower in Britain.

                    although his career probably would be completely different if Calzaghe didnt sign with Warren, and if you start looking at it that way, then your initial question is impossible to answer.
