"IF he wants to be a great"? WTF are you talking about? He's already in the top 10 p4p list. He went up in weight and beat the champ at the higher division (Hugo Cazares), not once, but twice. He's undefeated, and has not come close to being defeated. He's considered one of the better pure boxers in the world today. What do you mean IF he wants to be a great? ?
I'm saying that he ain't a great yet & his entrance into the HOF isn't assured yet!

He never fought the top guy at 105, he always fought opponents once they had already been beaten... Cardenas, Leyva, Reyes, Bustos. Never fought Kyowa.

He has come close to being defeated: the 1st Cazares fight, Ronald Barrera!

Does anyone think he could have beaten Lopez? Don't think so!

Don't get me wrong Calderon along with Darchinyan are my top fav fighters right now, but his record is nothing outstanding! Cazares is the only fighter even remotely close to great that he has fought.

Calderon is the best boxer in the business right now, he is a pound for pound fighter but his record is not HOF stuff!

Great fighters are defind by the opposition they face & how they faired. Cazares is Calderons best victory but the 1st was close (people on here thought Cazares won) & he was put down & the second ended prematurely...

Calderon is very good but he needs to do more if he wants to be an all time great!
