    well not lucky, he worked hard but what i'm saying is that he wasn't the most gifted person on the planet and he took what he had pretty damn far.

    If Calzaghe was a black American, 99.9 of his critics would say he's the greatest boxer that ever lived.

    I of course know he is the greatest boxer that ever lived, even though he's not a black American.

    It's great not being impressionable.

    to be great, you have to be great fighters...he beat 2 great fighters..only prob ione was 43 years old and the other had been losing more fights than winning (roy jones)
    he didnt fight enough elite guys in there prime.... for 16 year career, he had 4 big time fights...lacy, kessler, hopkins, jones...to some extent eubank.

    I think he just about scrapes into the Top 100 ATG's. Probably at #99 or #100.

    Ten years from now we look back and say Hopkins was really special. Calzaghe - great. Special? No
