    Sure, I thought it was in Cardiff, Wales, with Eubank getting in on a motorcycle and Joe with the Welsh flag but I do respect your knowledge and it was in England then.

    Wait, so you are telling me that beating Lacy was some fantastic win by Joe because a TV network hyped him up? Surely it wasn't because some other Americans sided with Lacy who just so happens to be American himself. Ok Joe ended the Lacy hype. AND? Lacy just wasn't as good as his meaningless belt and network hype suggested. If beating Lacy is a career defining win, then that tells you all you need to know about Calzaghe and his resume. I will give Joe credit for beating a prime Kessler. Great win. That's about it. Life and death with Hopkins in a fight that should have been a draw. They both looked like dog**** and quite frankly neither should have been paid for that pile of horse**** they served up. No way Hopkins won, no way Calzaghe won. At the end of the day the history books say Joe won and that's fine, you can have that, but someone so superior to every fighter in his weight range who ever lived shouldn't have struggled so badly with a 44 year old man.

    As a Calzaghe fan are you wetting your pants about beating RJJ? I was a big fan of Terry Norris and Camacho but I give them ZERO credit for beating a shell of Ray Leonard.

    Lacy= Hype Job who was essentially Broner
    Bika= A reality show contestant FFS. Really?
    RJJ= Shot to ****, a shell of his former self.
    Eubank= On the backside of his career and took the fight on short notice if I remember correctly.
    Hopkins=Life and death with a 44 year old man

    Besides I compared Joe's resume to Ray Leonard's/ There is no comparison there AT ALL. In comparing the two Joe's is surely WEAK and DILUTED. In general speaking it still isn't that great, but again if it's the stuff of legend to you so be it.

    No, Hopkins got robbed
    Even Calzaghes corner admitted the fight was over heading into the 12th

    Eubank was better than Hopkins and Calzaghe themselves.

    Who gives a **** about weight class, these men are all about the same size. Beside,Eubank was past his prime when joe got to him and kessler is stiff one dimensional fighter that Hop would have beaten the **** out off way worse than Calzaghe did had he gotten in the ring with him. Stop trying to overate Joe out of Hopkins accomplishment. Joe did not fight last night, Hopkins did. After every Hopkins fight you Calzaghetards always like to infest this forum with you strange obsession about a man who's biggest victory is a split decision win over a 43 year old fighter. You never see Jones, Taylor, or Dawson fans doing this ****, its always you Calzaghe fans. Serious whats there to brag about of an undecissive victory over an old man. The way you ******s bring up this fight someone who have not seen it may assume that Joe Knocked Hopkins unconscious, but thats not the case. Its a ****ing split decision win .:-(

    I like joe and he is the greatest smw ever but what's funny is that he will always be below b hop on ATG lists (and rightly so) even though he has a win over him.
