    Joe Calzaghe is one of the most underrated boxers of the past 25 years.

    except Hopkins was ROBBED of that victory.

    guess it adds alot more Roy, Taylor, and Dawsons "legacy"

    Lacy was the favorite to win that fight.

    Bika is currently champ at SMW.

    Eubank was like 30 I believe.

    RJJ won 3 in a row coming into the fight, then won 2 after the fight.

    JoeC beat prime Hopkins and RJJ back to back. That alone secures him the spot in the history of the sport.

    The fight was not even close, nor was the fight with Dawson. Now, Taylor, first fight especially that was debatable.

    Calzaghe should solidify his greatness by coming back, rematching Hopkins and winning.

    No, Hopkins should of been DQ'ed.

    and it does add to Jones, Taylor, and Dawson legacy. BUT all those guys got KTFO, and Joe is 46-0:happy

    Difference is, Taylor was knocked out by Pavlik, who Hopkins dominated. Jones and Dawson were both brutally KOed in later fights.

    Joe was never knocked out and retired undefeated at 46-0. :good
