    Why don't people acknowledge Joe Calzaghes Undefeated record?

    When people talk about undefeated records, they talk about Rocky Marciano and Floyd Mayweather Jr. They don't seem to bring up Calzaghe at all.

    Now obviously Joe's countrymen feel that he is a ATG, and one of the best.

      No, he swept the middle and late rounds and clearly defeated B-Hop. I scored it 115-112.

              Slapsie's record, while not as bad as the average NSBer makes out, isn't stellar. His last fight was against Royston Jones' granddad, for God's sake, and he nearly got KO'd in the first round.

              As Carl Froch once said "his career's got more question marks than the Riddler's cat suit".
