Calzaghe would have easily knocked anybody out that knocked him out. The only problem with that statement is ........................ nobody ever beat him, let alone knocked him out;)
And IF Calzaghe had EVER lost (let alone been knocked out) it wouldn't have ever been to somebody to the likes of Oliver McCall:)
While lewis was fighting for the undisputed heavyweight title in vegas, calzaghe was boxing guys like veit and mitchell.
The level of opponent lewis beat p4p is much higher than calzaghes.
Re: who is the best british fighter of the last 10 years?

Calzaghe
Lewis

Mcall would have knocked Calzaghe out if they were teh same weight especially when you consider that Joe was floored by that Egyptian bum and an old Hopkins and a washed up Mitchel

Think your right fella, I been up since 4PM yesterday I really don't know how I do this shit sometimes. Travelled for an hour and a half, done a 12 hour night shift, hour and a half back and I'm drinking JD with the stereo on full whack posting on here. I'm supposed to go see Ricky Hatton later on in town. I'm gonna be wasted for that fucker.
Re: who is the best british fighter of the last 10 years?
No way on gods earth would either Hatton or Calzaghe rank higher than Lennox Lewis.

People can make a case for lewis or joe and i wouldn't say either are wrong.
Personaly i think it is calzaghe, but wouldn't argue with anyone saying Lewis. But hatton? give me a freaking break. The guy beat an inactive tszyu and thats it, PERIOD
