Don't get me wrong Calzaghe is undefeated and the credit is there, but Warren has ruined his career forcing him to fight a string of limited opponents, he could have done a lot more with the talent that he has.

And for the one who said Hopkins is in top 5 p4p your crazy, he barely had 6 rounds in him against Calzaghe, he looked stronger but all he wanted to do was hold and fake, Bernard has been one of the best fighters of this era but I am sorry my friend he is finished, unless he want to beat up Welterweight Felix Trinidad as well to prove he is still up there.

That's from boxrec, their statistics calculation is no replacement for reality.
Stick with the ring. I still have Mayweather and PAC ahead of Calzaghe, but there isn't much of an argument of putting Calzaghe ahead of Cotto aside from longevity, if Cotto keeps beating the level of competition he's been demolishing (save Gomez) he will surely pass Calzaghe in 2009.
