Uh they were all title holders. Not world champions. Far from it. Just look how they got there titles. Charles Brewer won his vacant IBF title by beating non-champion Gary Ballard (

). Robin Reid crushed The Italian Stallion Vincenzo Nardiello to become WBC champ (

). Richie Woodhall had to go 12 against the 10 loss having ancient Thulani Malinga to get his WBC title (

). Who took it from Robin Ried. (

) Byron Mitchell I do give credit to. He beat the underrated Frankie Liles to become champion. But by the time he fought Calzaghe he was coming off a loss to Sven Ottke and had gone life and death against Manny Siaca and Julio Cesar Green. I don't even acknowledge the WBO. There you go. Keep calling Brewer, Reid and Woodhall former world champions if you want. Anything to make Calzaghe look better.
