Consider yourself cc'd mate, I couldn't agree more. Granted unless he wins all three of his last fights, and they are all pretty big names, then it is going to be quite difficult to judge him on a historical scale simply because we are in an era, when although not as bad as in the heavyweight division, the smw division is not rife with top notch fighters who are having series of fights between them because they are so competitive.
If he beats three big names, he will cement his legacy. If he does not, if his hands give out, or he fights a few contenders or couldvebeens, then his legacy will always be open to debate as to how good he really was.
I truly believe he is good enough to beat any of the names that have been mooted in this thread, and if he does, as I hope he has the courage to do, he will get his all-time great status, which he so thoroughly deserves.
And yes, I am a fan and a Welshman, so my judgement is coloured, but as always, passion is often the first to jump forward as logic takes a holiday.

No, No and No.
Calzaghe whips all of em
plz explain how Joe beats Hopkins? & how he beats Taylor or Winky?
Re: Calzaghe:I have 3 fights left.
If he wants to go out in a blaze of glry he should start with either Wright or Taylor at least he'd have a chance against Taylor, Wright would school him & if he fought Hopkins the same would happen
Re: Calzaghe:I have 3 fights left.
I'm most worried that Calzaghe will have a come back fight to tune up for missed ring time and reinjure his hands and retire :'(

You know Calzaghe's got no chance against Hopkins (even this old Hopkins), Taylor is even a tough task for Joe, & Wright would make him look like an amatuer
Like you think it is ;)
Re: Calzaghe:I have 3 fights left.
i think calzaghes way to fast for wright. wright isnt the fastest boxer i just think calzaghe would beat the people u mentioned with hes sheer workrate and excellent speed

No offense...but you need your head checked.
You either don't follow 168 or you just haven't seen many of Calzaghe's fights.
Statements like this just blow my mind.
To be remembered for a great fighter you have to fight high caliber opponents (which he has) & you have to dominate your division & win convincingly (which he has).
Calzaghe has done the very thing that he intended to do...win & make a name for himself.
He's defeated plenty of game fighters & champions, all the while pretty much humiliating them in the process.
Daxx...erm.....say something....just quoting there ;)
Oh S%$^...Was doing something else at same time didn't even realize I forgot to add what I was writing Sorry.. ::**

Perhaps the quoting is just to remphasise the point made by wacko and that he believes it was expressed so well that he couldn't say it better himself, and so left it to the original words.
Yah, and monkeys my fly outta my butt.
OOHHHH... :pointlol: How funny are you...Monkeys outta my butt..lol lol lol...The trailer has no indoor plumbing yet you still manage to keep your sense of humor... Thank you for again showing us why blood relatives shouldn't marry :bananastyle:

I'm a Winky fan but I have to agree, Calzaghe is fast doesnt wouldn't mind hitting the gloves because he will just keep moving and punching till he finds some real surface to hit. It would be a good fight but Winky's defence wouldn't be as effective against Calzaghe as it has been against most of his other opponents.
Re: Calzaghe:I have 3 fights left.
Joe has the best chance at Taylor, but Winky may school him all night & Hopkins would make him look as bad as he made Tarver look!

Actually I don't :). It's doubtful that Nard would knockout Calzaghe, and he can't keep up with the pace at his current age. In my opinion it would end with a UD for Joe :thumb:
