    When you look at Calzaghe's career, Jones not wanting anything to do with him, Collins relinquishing his belt rather than face him, Hopkins pulling out of a fight years ago, Johnson refusing to fight him, and of course Toney.... it is safe to say he would have beaten all of these people, had these fights taken place, you're looking at a top 10 atg.

    Before anyone says anything how he should have made these fights, he was begging for them constantly, but people choose easy fights to make names for themselves, a good example is Toney, and calzaghe sums up Toney perfectly.

    WBO/IBF super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe says he wants to fight James Toney, who once held Calzaghe's 168lb title. Toney is now fighting as a heavyweight and weighed 237 lbs. for Saturday's draw with Hasim Rahman. "He's welcome to come back down to super-middle and challenge for his old title - which at least I can proudly fit around my waist - but I don't think anyone can drag him out of his training camp at McDonalds and get him into serious training in a boxing gym," said Calzaghe. "I would love to kick his arse now because I just missed out on doing it in the 90's when I was coming through but I'm sure as a young kid I would still have knocked him about. He should lose the flab and fight me because he is still a name in the sport and it would look great on my record next to a W and KO. Instead of doing weights with Twinkie bars and drinking Kool Aid he should get onto the salad, pasta and water and whip himself into shape because he'd need to be against me."

    Toney wouldn't even dare respond to this, the biggest mouth in boxing, not even a mumble back, and why? because Joe was 100% right, and a young Toney ate his way out of a fight with him.

    Calzaghe, best boxer of the last 25yrs, not Pac.

    The onyl obvious boxers who ducked him were The Germans. Hopkins didnt fancy it either though that must be said.

    He did unify the division in the end and did finally fight Hop and Jones, so it doesnt really matter if he never fought Ottke or Beyer.

    You are a failure.

    The Roy Jones that Calzaghe beat was not even half what he was in his prime.

    Calzaghe beat Bernard in a close decision but he has accomplished more and has beaten better fighters than your daddy Calzaghe.

    Why do you think Calzaghe deserves to be mentioned with such great fighters? He's beaten Kessler and Hopkins, THATS IT!
