Oh yeah he has a string of impressive opp he has beaten on his list...Chgris Eubank?? a Washed up Charles Brewer..Omar " every one worth a dime has beat ya" Sheika?? Lacey is his best name....Hey I dont fault a guy for sitting at Super Middle and holding on to what he has but DONT,,,SIT HERE AND TRY TO SAY HE HAS BEATEN A LINE OF TOP CALIBER OPPONENTS...TO SAY SUCH A THING...WHY HASNT JOE CHASED ANY BIG MONEY FIGHTS...Dont speak as a fan of the fighter speak as a fan of the game....Joe is a decent fighter who has kept hold of a weak division...As Super Middle he is the man...One step up or down and he is no body...PROVE DIFFERENT...Valuev has beaten Etienne,Donald Ruiz and Beck so I suppose he is a great HW..
No offense...but you need your head checked.

You either don't follow 168 or you just haven't seen many of Calzaghe's fights.

Statements like this just blow my mind.

To be remembered for a great fighter you have to fight high caliber opponents (which he has) & you have to dominate your division & win convincingly (which he has).

Calzaghe has done the very thing that he intended to do...win & make a name for himself.

He's defeated plenty of game fighters & champions, all the while pretty much humiliating them in the process.
