Calzaghe has been a champion for over 10 years, which is x3-x4 aslong as every fighter on that list. So i think its unfair to compare how about in 5 years from now lets see if its debatable whether Joe Calzaghe has a better resume than most of the fighters on that list.
Of course Joe Calzaghe has better resume overall than most of the fighters on that list, because of how long he has been champion. But the fact of matter is, that out of all those title defenses only few names stand out.
And even those wins are questionable, like Chris Eubank being late replacement for Steve Collins, and he had to lose ridiculous amount of weight in a short time. And don't even get me started on Jeff Lacy.
I never said Joe Calzaghe hasn't got a good resume overall, but he could of took more risks and moved up in weight like he said he would. I find it funny now the division is starting to get stronger, he has moved up in the weight and is fighting RJJ the same RJJ he called a hasbeen before his fight with Felix Trinidad. He contradicts himself all the time.
That is really stupid.
He was scared out of the supermiddle division (fuck knows by who?) to face Bernard Hopkins.

I never said he was scared out of the SMW division. I just find it funny that he called RJJ a hasbeen yet he is fighting him ? if he thinks that then why doesn't he fight the top SMW's, if he thinks RJJ is such a old hasbeen according to Joe Calzaghe himself ?
Infact you know what ? i would rather see Joe Calzaghe fight some of the elite SMW's. Than see Roy Jones vs Joe Calzaghe, Roy Jones lost 4 rounds against Felix Trinidad who had been retired since 2005 and was way above his natural weightclass.
Plus he almost lost a decision against the mediocre Anthony Hanshaw, RJJ is a shot fighter which is a fact. He can only fight for 1 minute of a round if that, and he fights entirely on the ropes.
Thinking about this fight some more i actually think its a joke.
I only give RJJ a chance because he is faster than anyone Joe Calzaghe has fought, plus he has a good straight right hand. And he is the bigger man but thats more hope than anything.
