    These are the one's JC did fight, who he didn't fight (without bullshit reasons) I am struggling with

    Chris Eubank - 2 weight World champion
    Richie Woodhall - WBC Champion
    Robin Reid - WBC Champion
    Charles Brewer - IBF Champion
    Byron Mitchell - WBA Champion
    Jeff Lacy - IBF Champion (but we all knew he was overrated didn't we )
    Mikkel Kessler -WBA/WBC Champion
    Bernard Hopkins - Think he won something

    The shame is that he didn't have bigger fights earlier on because he would have been able to show what a fantastic fighter he really was.

    Some of his pre-Tito wins are a bit underrated but there's no point in going into that.

    One of the great mysteries to me is how the two Taylor fights were even close enough to be controversial (I thought he won both but I could see how activity only people would see Taylor winning) but what he's done since then at his age is pretty ridiculous. I mean I could see how people would bring up steroids, its that ridiculous.

    I will say that some of his biggest wins (Tarver, Tito, Pavlik to an extent) are getting downplayed now but all of those he was heavy heavy underdogs in and he ended up dominating.

    Never questioned that Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins didn't fight the best available. I just think Joe Calzaghe was in a weaker division than Bernard Hopkins was, which isn't his fault nor Bernard Hopkins but i still think Joe Calzaghe should of moved up to LHW ages ago.

    As for the boxers Joe Calzaghe could of fought well there was Glen Johnson, and Sven Ottke but Sven Ottke didn't want no part of Joe Calzaghe.
