Yup, but the most important part is that Joe would never have fought GGG because Calzaghe was a massive pussy and never took a risk in his entire career and why is that? Well RJJ & Hopkins damn near beat him when they were ANCIENT......so yeah, although Calzaghe was a very accomplished fighter and one of the best super middleweights of recent memory he was also not about to leave the comfy confines of England to go fight someone MORE accomplished than himself until he was absolutely certain he was going to win. Same could be and should be said about Floyd Mayweather Jr.
He fought a prime unbeaten Kessler, he fought Lacy when a lot of the boxing world were saying he was the coming thing. How many top Americans go and fight outside America? Wilder almost had to recently but only because he lost a purse bid and would have had to give his title up. Fuck, you can't get Floyd to leave Vegas or Ward to leave California.
