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.
at least you didn't include the Jones fight cause that was a farce, and he "beat" Hopkins, I and many had B-Hop winning that fight, IMO he's (Calzaghe) a bit overrated but like you said he fought what was available at the time, but again, the super middleweight division and the 2 rounds surrounding it were pretty weak at the time, but that's just bad luck on Joe's part, if he was in his prime today with the level of opposition available today he'd have the chance to put a real stamp on his resume with no questions asked, IMO all 3 guys are worthy, 3 multi division champs, dominant, and good resume's, and all 3 were HUGE attractions and brought in HUGE crowds
