No he didn't beat Reid convincing if you watched the fight you would know it was razor thin close and very controversial decision because alot of people thought Reid won.
reid fought out of his skin that night and remember holmes had split decision wins over both norton and witherspoon that could have gone either way. But hes still an all time great.
Im not saying that Seanie all im saying is that guy said Calzaghe beat Reid convincing which is not true.

And as for Norton vs Holmes well i don't think most people have seen that fight and they just base it on the last round and say well yes Norton was robbed when thats not true Norton won the first round then Holmes won next 8 easy as pie he was giving Norton a boxing lesson then Norton won most of the later rounds but not enough because i remember Holmes definetly won 13th or 14th round without a shadow of a doubt so points wise if you scored it round by round without biased scoring it was impossible that Norton could win no way was it as close as judges had it.

Witherspoon vs Holmes was close i think Holmes pulled it out by 1 round thats one of the most underrated HW fights.
