Is calzaghe underrated?

Most people within the boxing world try to discredit Joe Calzaghe, by saying? That his record of fighters that he faced was not on the standard of some other great fighters! (For me this is complete myth!)...

The version of Chris Eubank Senior, that Joe Calzaghe fought beats everybody in the Super-Middle Weight division right now! And then you have fighters like Robin Reed and Charles brewer who where big strong Middle-Weights! When you analysed the fighters he has beat technically they where all decent fighters! (So yes i think he is underrated! Every single test that was throw at him inside of the ring? He passed!)...

Joe Calzaghe is overrated if you have him top 25. He doesn't belong there. Top 50? Maybe, 46-0 is still 46-0. He had some skill and great movement and positioning.

Calzaghe was no better than Sven Ottke or Dariusz M. A 43 year old Hopkins embarrassed Calzaghe. Ward would have ruined him prime for prime

Eubank took that fight on 2 weeks notice while preparing for a crusierweight fight. You think dropping from CW to SMW in 2 weeks didn't have an affect on Eubank?

this guy literally admitted to ducking prime RJJ. then fought him when he was shot after several knockout losses. He was outboxed by 43 year old hopkins and won on work rate. 43 is old as ***. wlad is looking old as hell and he is 41.

Yes i know that Eubank was training to fight at light Heavyweight! (Not cruiser-weight?)....I don't think Chris Eubank was ****** enough to face Calzaghe if he was going to be massively weight drained! (His performance in the fight showed that he was not massively drained, Calzaghe has stated that it was probably his hardest fight!).

The same race-baiters who call Ward an ATG, discredit Calzaghe. So Ward beats Froch, Kessler, Abraham and Kovalev and that qualifies him for greatness but Calzaghe beats Eubanks, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins and Jomes and he's overrated. Even though Joe was past his own prime when he met with the last three.
