        Hopkins-(who AFTER Joe went on to win the lineal title,the WBC and then the IBF
        Roy-(who many picked to win that fight)
        Lacy-(undefeated unified champion)
        Kessler-(undefeated champion)
        Reed(Undefeated)


        Why people laugh at him and act like he was some clown is beyond me...The man had amazing speed and threw punches in punches and also had very underrated defense
        No one in their right mind picked Roy Jones to win that fight.

          And?

          People age differently.

          Especially when you fight the caliber of fighters Calzaghe did In comparison to the caliber of fighters Hopkins and Jones fought.

            To answer the question, he shouldn't be on anyone's ATG list because he's not an ATG.

            He's a boarderline HOF'er as far as I'm concerned.

                    That's the ******est thing I've ever read here, Joe louis was old and washed up when Marciano fought him, same thing with marcianos win over jersey Joe.

                    Marcianos biggest wins came over guys who were washed up, same as Calzaghe.

                    Calzaghe and the talent to maybe best top fighters, but he chose to fight none of them in his prime, therefore he underachieved and has no place on a ATG list.

                    Heck, he even ducked Glenn Johnson twice, found ways to get out of those fights, let alone bhop, jones, toney.

                    I DO give him a lot of props for how he best Kessler though, Kessler prime was a very nice win for Joe. Just not enough wins like that. Should of stuck around and best pavlik and Dawson, and his legacy would of been a lot harder to deny.

                    But he even ducked them...
