100 may be too harsh now that Im really thinking about it but there are a lot of fighters and I doubt I can even count to 100 without losing track lol. He may very well be in the 80-100 group.

Well the whole point of this thread is to say your opinion then take other peoples thoughts then come up with a answer then your good. Reason i like this forum because there are alot of people all with very different opinions and i think it is great thing.
I think Calzaghe was a very special fighter but his career was very frustrating. He spent far too long under Warrens wing taking easy fights that were carefully managed. And even when he did get free he ended up fighting an ancient Jones before simply hanging them up.
He had great skills and an excellent boxing brain. It would have been nice to see Calzaghe tested more. And I say that as a fan because I loved watching him fight.
hopkins had more speed than calzaghe and still lost decisively. Calzaghe would have taken pavlik to the woodshed and possibly even knocked him out in 8 or fewer rounds.
Hopkins is never a guy who does that well with judges, and one of the key reasons that he was going to struggle on the judges cards that night was the stupid comment about never losing to a white boy. So the whole 'Calzaghe is British & still got a decision' means nothing, because if you want to go along that route you could argue that the race issue equally played a role.
