    What a load of shit. Calzaghe finished his career 46-0, dominated & won every world title in his division, beat Kessler, Hopkins, Eubank, Bika, Lacy (when you all thought he was the 2nd coming of Tyson). You can only beat what is in front of you and most americans were clammering for him to fight Dawson & Pavlik at the end of his career and both have been brutally exposed so you'd only be criticising his record still. Who didn't he fight? As far as skill goes, he one of the best naturally talented fighters to have graced the sport. I'm sure you'd be begging them to put a steroid cheat like Toney in when he's been retired for 5 years. Unbelievable.

    I hate James Toney and no I dont think he should be in.

    Roy Jones was 39 years and 10 months old when the Italian Dragon fought him.
    Bernard Hopkins was 43 years and 6 months old "................................"
    Peter Manfredo is a joke.
    UD over Sakio Bika (avg. judge's scorecard 116-111)
    UD over Kessler (avg. judge's scorecard116-112)
    Jeff Lacy was an overhyped 1-dimensional fighter who built up his record fighting New Jersey club fighters like Anwar Oshana, Omar Sheika, etc. and anybody decent whipped his ass like Joe Calzaghe, Jermaine Taylor, etc.

    How can you compare that with what Oscar did? Calzaghe never fought anybody like Vargas, Gatti, Mosely, Mayweather, Quartey, Chavez, Camacho, Trinidad, Mayorga. IN fact most of them would have blown him out.

    But I like the way he threw slaps in bunches. He landed about 40 power punches in Rd. 1 against Byron Mitchell (yeah, true, 10 were rabbit punches and/or holding and hitting) and Mitchell was like "WTF? Is there a mosquito in here?" Then in Rd. 2 Calzaghe was ready to eat shit, he got whacked with a right hook that twisted his head halfway round and down he went. and the Mitchell got careless throwing all caution to the wind and left himself wide open. Any decent fighter would have finished Calzaghe in the 2nd round. He didnt even know where he was after Mitchell knocked him down, and was ripe for the picking. Calzaghe missed 2/3 of his punches trying to finish Mitchell, throwing arm punches and slaps very fast--- and what a shit stoppage that was! Mitchell was regrouping and landed a beautiful left hook and 2 straight right counterpunches on Calzaghe, and the ref stops the fight. The ring doctor himself told the ref that Mitchell was OK. Mitchell tripped on Calzaghe's feet after blocking 4 slaps, and stumbled back to the ropes. No punch even landed, their feet got tangled up. Bullshit win against a decent fighter.

    Joe Calzaghe---like I said before, WAY overrated, arm puncher, very fast though, but too too many rabbit shots as in the clinch the southpaw can easily loop around and whack behind the head. Got away with far too many.
