- one of the best posts of the year, thanks.

Calzaghe is one of the biggest talents coming out Europe in the latest 25 years.

His pro resume is perfect but also his amateur resume is as good as it gets. Stopping several later champs as Byrd, Marquesz and and Ottke and breaking many commenwealth records under his amateur regime. He lost twice but once in the former East (politics) and once against a guy, who had his father and friends as judges (neopotism).

The only one, as far as I remember, who did as almost as much as an amateur as Calzaghe in the latest 25 years in EU, is Sasha who also will become a future champ by sure.
