I didn't say Manfredo was good. But the way Calzaghe demolished him was impressive. That is all I meant. Certainly it was not a fight which did anything but make Calzaghe look good. But even early in his career he beat Eubank. You have to give him credit. And he did beat Brewer, Mitchell and Lacy. The Lacy fight alot of people thought he would get a test and he outclassed him. That is why he is rated so high.
