    Agreed there is some muck on his list, but Eubank, Brewer, Reid, Woodhall, Mitchell to name a few better ones, have all held one of the 4 main belts and were all as good as the other names out there, like Beyer, Ottke, Saica & Echols, in my opinion
    But in 45 fights 21 world title defences are Eubank,Reid,Woodhall,Mitchell,Brewer,Lacy,Kessler and Hopkins enough in a 15 year or so career?

    Best thing Calzaghe did was beat an overhyped Lacy. Kessler was a quality opponent, and that is as much props as i will give him. In my opinion he also lost a slap competition agaisnt an old man (b-hop). Now he is fighting another old man and calling it a day... Yeah real hall of famer there

    Calzaghe was a two division ring champ, and most definately in the top 2 for all time super middleweight (leave open debate for him and Jones Jr.)
    I respect what he has done in the ring, and will no doubt be remember as one of the all time greats from Wales.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
