Fair is fair people.

Recognize talent, ability, & the circumstances.

If you want to say that kind of S*** about Calzaghe's opponents...you need to be grown up's & also look at some of our American champions resumes.

They aint sparklin with every bout either & a lot of the fighters that Joe beat easily were decent fighters when he beat them...just like our American champions.

40 wins is 40 wins...just like with Jones, Mayweather, & Hopkins.

Fair is fair. Call it like it is.
Please don't compare Calzaghe with Mayweather, or god forbid Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins. Just...don't. It's like comparing Sam Peter to Mike Tyson or Wladimir Klitschko to Muhammad Ali.
But Hulk, no matter how you like it, Calzaghe is now regarded as being amongst that elite company that you so rigorously denies he has a place amongst. He is now there, and long over due IMO. I would have liked to have seen more big name fights but Jones Jr even Bhop (2 of my favourite fighters) have beaten highly regarded as well as more mediocre mandatories. Hasnt PBF had his fair of coasting up in weight over the last few years. Even the better opponents have had issues beforehand against opponents that got there first...

Calzaghe deserves his name in the pound for pound list and lets see him have this easy fight and then see him finish out his career in a way that might just make ya think a little bit differently, Hulk. It might just happen yet..

It might, but he'll have to have about 3-5 SUPERFIGHTS, and win them very decisevely, before he is on an equal level with Bernard, let alone Roy Jones. Beating Jeff Lacy, doesn't equal Dominating Tito, Oscar, Tarver. Or dominating Toney, Ruiz, Griffin, Paz, Reggie Johnson, Virgil Hill, etc.
