    Yeah Joe Calzaghe and his 3-4 good wins.
    About 10 good wins: Bika, Eubank, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins, Jones, Reid, etc.

    2-3 wins over HOFers.

            He's a bona fide ATG.
            No it doesn't! Calslappy never had the balls to fight the toughest guys out there. He stayed over the pond where he knew he would get gift decisions. He destroyed Jeff lacy props for that (we didn't know lacy was a bum so that win was legit) but not much after. He just beat Hopkins I'm a fight where his az got dropped ATG my az.

              Why only Calzaghe? Why shouldn't it add to Taylor's legacy? Or Dawson's legacy?

                Did Hopkins go overseas to fight? Does Ward? Does Mayweather?

                Joe fought in Germany, the US, Denmark, Scotland and England. Let's not forget, Reid was the home fighter when Joe fought him.

                Calzaghe has more courage than Ward, who needs home refs to let him get away with his illegal tactics.

                It's not like Ward and Hopkins draw big crowds in the US like Joe did in Wales.

                  Difference is, Taylor was knocked out by Pavlik, who Hopkins dominated, as well as by Froch and Abraham.

                  Joe was never knocked out and retired undefeated at 46-0.

                    So because past prime Jones racked up some losses, his past wins don't count? And now if you lose, your past wins or discounted?

                      Jones wins...Hopkins, Toney, Hill, McCallum, Tarver, Gonzalez, Ruiz, Malinga, Sosa, Del Valle, Vaca, Griffin, Harding, Woods, Lacy, Trinidad. Are all for not, because well, he ended up losing after age 34.
