Hello all,
This is officially my first post on this forum so here goes.

Recently I read on various sites a lot of articles hyping up Calzaghe after his win over the little known Australian. (I live here and I hadn't heard of him).
The bit that got to me was when he called out Hopkins and then mentioned surpassing Hopkins record title defences, that agitated me a bit to say the least. So, I thought I would view a few forums and voice my opinion.

I used to follow boxing quite intensly, but got sick of all the junk that goes with it. My questions are these:

Who has Calzaghe beat for him to even step into the ring with a Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jnr or even an Antonio Tarver for that matter?

Since when was being the WBO champion so highly regarded? I'll admit I think Calzaghe is the best super middleweight about at the moment, but honestly who has he fought? when has he made an effort to leave his home turf to secure big fights?

Joe, seems to be all talk and no action and B grade fighter at best. If he thinks he will be one of the all time greats then he is dreaming, maybe an all time great on his home turf, but no all timer compared to the feats of many other boxers.

He needs more a MAB approach of letting his fists do the talking and not worry about his WBO belt, that said I think he should fight Kessler to unify the division

One final note, Calzaghe wouldn't have beaten Benn, Eubank or Jones, they had a lot mroe heart than him. The poster who claimed Roy Jones couldnt even win a gold medal, I think you need to find a new sport to follow if you are so naive you believe that

Thank you.
