    No. Hopkins, Kessler, Bika, Lacy. Not enough for ATG status. Not even close.

      As do many. But of course, you think anyone who doesn't think the Klitschko's are greatest HW's ever and that Calzaghe was a certified ATG, then they must hate European fighters.

      News flash f**k stick.....I'm a fan of Brook and Golovkin. Calzaghe was good but his resume isn't even close to an ATG. He has like 4 notable wins.

        His resume is about as strong as Bernard Hopkins.

          Froch has a better resume than Calz

                I don't even factor in the Jones win.
                pretty much shot? name one fighter in the history of boxing who fought for a title and was more shot than roy jones. i dare you. even post parkinson ali had more left in the tank than RJJ.

                  This guy already has a better resume then Calzaghe.



                  and so does this guy....


                  Like I said Calzaghe will go down as a SMW ATG. I don't think anyone can argue with that. Whether he's P4P an ATG is up for debate.

                  Joe beat a prime undefeated Kessler whereas Froch couldn't beat a kind of shot version. He also lost to Ward convincingly. Forch's best win IMO is a win against Pascal who B-Hop schooled.

                  Ward is on his way of being a HOF'er whether he's ATG I guess we'll find out over the coming years.

                    If Calzaghe is an ATG does that mean that Sven Ottke is also one?

                      And why is that?

                      Let me guess, because he's white?

                      True, same reason I hate my all time favourite fighter, Alexis Arguello.
