    Very exciting fighter to watch...I thought Jeff Lacy was gonna whoop his ass but he beat the brakes off Lacy and made a fool of an old Roy Jones and B-Hop...

              Underrated in North America, overrated in the U.K.

              HOF worthy though.

                Overrated fighter, though he lost to Hopkins and ultimately he remained in his comfort zone for too long before fighting the big names. Jones was well passed his best when he fought him.

                He was effective at what he did tbf, fairly fast hands and great work-rate, but I was never a fan...

                  He pretty much done everything that was asked of him inside of the ring,and his resume is extremely underrated. 'Great engine, and he was a very game fighter'. I was not a massive fan of his punching technique, but it worked for him.

                  Calzaghe fought many former world champions, or fighters that went on to become world champion. 'Not even counting Hopkins & Jones Junior' that is why I stated that his resume is massively underrated.

                  I always thought that Roy Jones Junior should of retired after the Calzaghe fight 'For me it was a great fight, and Jones Junior display immense courage throughout the entire fight'
