Look at what both these legends in the sport have done and you really can't compare guys like Froch, Hatton, Haye or Khan to them. Calzaghe just like Lewis would dominate his weight class against 99.99% in any era. Lewis has begrudgingly been given respect now we are in a terrible hw era but Joe is still hated here probably because he beat many fan favorites.
Only Lennox has a better resume than Calzaghe for Brit fighters

Yeah I forgot about those large fan bases that Peter Manfredo, Bika, Lacy, Ashira, Salem etc all had.Look at what both these legends in the sport have done and you really can't compare guys like Froch, Hatton, Haye or Khan to them.

SMW only got took seriously after Roy Jones emerged from it. Even Roy didn't take it seriously, he left because it was full of crap.
Seriously, Calzaghe has a terrible resume for a world champion, but then he never wanted a good one in the first place, so no one can argue with him for doing what he wanted to do.Comment

Light heavy was pretty garbage at the time... Old virgil hill who had been beaten by michalewski, even older mike mccallum, lou del valle, etc...Comment
