    O the fickality of boxing fans.
    Ive never liked him but i wouldn't say calzaghe is chinny but all time great

    If Hopkins is Calzaghe has to be.
    Just because Calzaghe only just beat a 43 year old Hopkins doesn't make him a all time great.

    Maybe not but Hopkins was the liniat 175lb champ coming off his best b2b career wins.

    if that doesnt how about defending your title 22 times or being 18yrs undefeated or being only the second man in boxing history to hold all 5 recognised alphabets in one weight class. Or holding the 168lb liniar championship and the same time holding the 175lb.

    Take your pick i could go on.

    Hopkins had 2 back to back losses vs Taylor moved upto light heavy and beat i weight drained Tarver he then beat Winky Wright who was overweight really fighting wise.Calzaghe should have lost twice in my eyes to Hopkins and Robin Reid.

    I disagree he beat Reid and Hopkins and he should have been greater fighter but he fell into the comfort zone with Warren and the rest is history.
