      Joe Calzaghe is one of my favourite boxers and one of the greatest ever from these shores. I'm high on Joe everyday.

        That's not even up for debate, right?

        Its clear Mr Cazzy.

        Thing is, simply using THE RING title as a basis is a bit misleading because Calzaghe was THE MAN, **** whatever that magazine says for most of his time at the weight. I don't think anyone could have doubted Calzaghes claim as top dog from around 2000 on wards.

            If not a draw, I'd barely, just barely give it to Joe. Froch and Dawson are better than anyone on Joe's list but the inactivity hurt Ward. Manfredo isn't much of a name but it's an extra win none the less.

                That Manfredo stoppage was one of the biggest cons ever.
