Why couldn't Calzaghe's peak have been around now :-(

Hell I'd like to have seen how he did against Ottke and Jones and Liles and Nunn and Echols in his own time

Michael Nunn's last fight at Super Middleweight was in 1995 against John Scully, a fight that was controversial and some people felt Michael Nunn lost. Joe Calzaghe become champion at Super Middleweight in 1997.

So i fail to see how they could have fought, plus Michael Nunn was washed up at that point. This was hardly the Michael Nunn who destroyed Tate, Kalambay.

...add to the fact that Liles only fought a couple of times after 97 , one of which he got Koed by Mitchell, whom Calzaghe took out in less than 9 minutes, begs the question why would Liles even have been on the radar. Echols: He probably had one decent win around that time (Brewer) after having already lost he then went on to lose to world beating Anthony Mundine and Kingsley Ikeke. Echols never deserved a shot and doesn't belong in the same breath. Ottke: Yes, perhaps they should've fought, but Ottke had a bungi rope attached to his ass that pulled him back to his home town every time he tried to cross the border. Ottke's record would look very different if his bigger fights hadn't taken place in Germany and to say that he was a bigger test than somebody like kessler would be laughable.

Of course, as we know from experience, being british automatically precludes any fighter from being world class
