Calzaghe Is A Top 50 ATG

Exactly. Well put sir. Maybe Joe could have proven himself if he'd have had the balls to fight Chad Dawson and Carl the Cobra Frotch.

Chad Dawson lost to jean froch beat pascal and lost to mikkel kessler lol lol

Triangle theory doesn't work in boxing moron.

Example: hopkins had trouble with taylor who was beaten up by pavlik who was beaten up by hopkins.

Did I say Joe would lose to either? no. i said he ducked them and has no balls.

This is shown by his shameless ducking of them.

I'm not even sure he's top 100. Soir and I already discuss this before.

But, if he is, he will be in the lower top 100 somewhere around 80-100.

He is not even there. Maybe somewhere in the 120-150 region

The term ATG is thrown around way too much. For Joe to be even considered he would of had to move up to lhw after the Reid fight and got some wins over Tarver, Dawson, Johnson etc etc

Sven Ottke > Glenn Johnson > Roy Jones > John Ruiz > Evander Holyfield > Larry Holmes > Muhammad Ali.

I completely agree

I completely agree

I think Ray Robinson is better though...

ATG top 50, I don't think so

It's thread like this that make me wonder if people realize that boxing is more than 20 years old.

Sven Ottke > Glenn Johnson > Roy Jones > John Ruiz > Evander Holyfield > Larry Holmes > Muhammad Ali.

That is undeniable proof right there.

True story, discuss if you agree, feck off if you don't.

Calzaghe was excellent, and his place in any discussion at Super Middleweight ensures him a measure of all time greatness, but he's shy of a top 50. Calzaghe can be argued into a place in a back 50 of the top 100 (I like to look at ranges of ratings) depending on how one measures his divisional achievements, but it would be pretty deep even back there.
