    Prime vs Prime, Andre Ward loses a Unanimous Decision to Joe.
    But he never beat any P4P guys in their Prime in or around that weight during his career.

        Depends where you rate him. I think he's right where he needs to be at. He was a great middle weight champion. He'll probably not go down as an ATG but he's something the Brits should be proud of...

        Can't hate on the white mayweather...smh

          All I know is that he beat every guy who was darker than him so in my eyes that makes him and all time great

            The white Mayweather yet Mayweather beat 5 times the amount of Top 5 ranked fighters and counting. That's not a joke, literally 5 times more.

            Mayweathers reign at 130 is more impressive than Calzaghes whole career.

            He fought more ranked guys at 130 than Calzaghe did in his whole career.

                    i think he is both over and underrated.he was clearly a very good fighter.he has a decent resume.his best wins being hopkins,kessler,lacy,bika.the tricky thing with him is that it wouldnt be fair to say he ducked guys like jones jr,hops,and toney as their was never any call over here for them to fight him.i thought he would lose to both lacy and kessler.i say he is under because i feel he would be competitive with anybody of the last 20 years while i say he is over because his resume is soft
