Wrong. Calzaghe has handily defeated everyone that has been put before him by the organizations. Calzaghe has done just what Hopkins, Jones, & Floyd did...took on everyone that came his way.

There's no denying that. People lambast Calzaghe for never leaving home...neither did Hopkins, Jones, or Floyd.

I hate the double standard there...but most people rip Joe's opposition with having the knowledge of who the fighters were & what they had done.

Also...Jones & Hopkins both outpriced themselves out of facing Calzaghe. Jones said that he wasn't a threat...Hopkins raised the bill at the critical week of the bidding.

But that was all Joe's fault.
Jones moved up to Light Heavyweight in 1996 Calzaghe wasn't even a champion then. So i don't see how this match up could have really happened, Jones would of got no credit for beating Calzaghe at that time, plus Jones would have had to move down in weight.
