    I think he scheduled/negotiated three fights with Johnson and pulled out each time. So Johnson certainly had a point being fed up.

    Johnson not being ranked top 10 didn't matter to Joe.
    He only fought 5 or 6 fighters ranked top 10 out of his 21 title defences.

    Mitchell was coming off a disputed SD that many felt he won and had never been clearly defeated until... He faced Calzaghe

    This just shouts butthurt fanboy.
    You pick up a quote that you have only read on here rather than the whole story and try and focus on that back in 99, yet forget that Calzaghe was chasing and calling Jones out from 00, and agreed to fight Jones only for Jones to pull out

    Up to LHW for what? Less money, no title and Jones who wouldnt fight him previously. Top move

    More butt hurt here.
    You point to an amateur fight that Calzaghe lost when he was a teenager and try and call that close fight a schooling :lol::patsch.
    Thats right, all you have is an amateur fight and you do that because you are butt hurt

    Is that so? Does that count even if the legend started in a division 6 divisions smaller to the fighter that beat them?
    Either way Calzaghe doesnt have that worry with wins over Jones, Eubank and Hopkins

    Wrong again Dino :patsch, just like all the other times
    So if you work out how many fighters were top 10 rated and how many became top 10 rated after Calzaghe beat them he fought 22 SMW title fights and 15 were or became top 10 rated. I havent included Ferreyra who had been top 10 rated before fighting Calzaghe

    Thats very good but even better when you note Calzaghes LHW career, because as a career total it becomes

    fighters who were rated when he fought them. Reid, Sheika, Woodhall, Veit2, Brewer, Mitchell, Ashira, Manfredo, Lacy, Kessler, Jones, Hopkins, Bika. Eubank got rated for his loss so could be included to make

    This below makes people very insecure

    Boxing science proves how most roads lead to Calzaghe

    Calzaghes legacy is so great, that most of the so called top fighters around his division and even today have a loss that dates back to the name Calzaghe.
    Just look and play the game

    Thats how great Calzaghe truly was, as shown with irrefutable proof. Theres no triangle theory with Calzaghe because he is undefeated, so that rule doesnt exist here

    Calzaghe is the most missed fighter on ESB.

    In a Hopkins/RJJ thread Calzaghe's name pops up, in Kessler Vs Froch II thread Calzaghe name pops up, in Pablo Escobar thread Calzaghe's name pops up.

    Joe fought mainly Ottke leftover's before taking on young Kessler who was inexperienced at world level and only beat him cos Kesseler faded early due to a bust paw.

    in that case both calzaghe and kessler were inexperienced at world level - kessler's SMW resume leading upto the calzaghe fight was much better than calzaghe's

    calzaghe beat kessler because he was the better man - plain and simple

    EDIT : 'resume' was the wrong word. look at the quality of fighters kessler fought in the months leading up to the calzaghe fight compared to joe

    That says a lot about Calzaghe. Although I'd say that's false. Calzaghe had a better SMW resume when they met. It's just a lot of what he had accomplished occurred when most message board posters weren't following the sport that hard.

    Because Joe had two hands. Todays Kessler would probably beat Joe.
