    Define ATG?

    He could probably just about sneak into my top 100 of all-time. Does that make him an ATG?

    Well if Calzaghe isn't an all time great then what about any other british fighter? I can't think of any that will qualify in my lifetime if he won't.

    Gotta disagree with you on that one mate, Roy Jones gets my vote.

    Absolutely nowhere near an ATG. In fact he'd have to be classed as nothing more than a useless domestic bum so can't be long before he starts posting on here

    Roy Jones is better H2H, but Calzaghe has the better achievements at the weight.

    I know next to nothing about boxing..... other than the fact that Calzaghe ain't an ATG.

    :rofl @ the options on this poll. I don't think everyone will ever be convinced on a mass scale that JC was an ATG so I think that answers it; great fighter but not an ATG. I think you have to leave the game with almost every question answered. Defo one of the best ever from these shores, though.

    I'd go with that, but more fortunate then talented.
