    who did joe beat?

    He has had like 1 great win and maybe 2 alright ones. And then the rest are all questionable including the reid , jones, eubanks and hopkins.

    i'd say he is the most over rated smw. if the 0 means that much then ottke must b sitting just behind calz in atg.

    Acheivement in the division, yes. Head to head, its debatable. Mclellan and RJJ would beat him IMO, and a case could be made for a few others.

    The yanks were simply too slow-witted to catch on regarding the WBO, unlike when their own world title (IBF) was created :roll:.

    too bad he didnt wanna prove it in his prime.

    what i'm sure of is that calzaghe is the most protected super middleweight ever.

    yep, now go and check the other 10 fights each fighter had faced at 168 and then come back and tell me why they fought the most disgracefull run of competitors that 168 has ever seen, instead of taking on the best in the division.

    He's not the greatest anything. Even if he is, being the greatest SMW is a little like being the tallest midget. The top all time SMW would struggle to crack the top 60 at MW or LHW.

    If i I remember right it was something like only 8 or 9 top 1O guys ranked by The Ring.

    It was a while back, so I could be wrong.
