    Definitely great, but I consider Eubank and Benn as great as well.

    like it or not, he is an ATG ... that means he is very good ...
    I mean he is OK ... no disrespect but he has no power in the slap
    .... and he have suspect chin .... and his record is really poor.

    Calzaghe could adjust in the ring really well.

    Disability is natural. We must stop believing that disabilities keep a person from doing something. Because that's not true . . . Having a disability doesn't stop you from doing anything,look at dinamita (aka el cepillo) there's no softening of his boner for calzaghe..

    Mon cher, you are a simpleton. You really don't understand a thing.

    if calzaghe is so mediocre then how come posters (like yourself) go to such unbelievable lengths to denegrate him ? i.e create multiple online forum identities based solely on discrediting him and pumping oneself up in arguments,your lack of indifference and waning grasp on the art of subtlety let you down once again dinamita y' weirdo..

    of course its dinamita...

    it has been brought to my attention that el dinamita is currently auctioning his 'cherry' online to the highest bidder though as of yet their are no takers,i offered him 5oo for my greyhound to have a go but he refused point blank...reason for this being he has an aversion to being on all fours it rerminds him of his childhood,something he wishes to forget!

    p.s we can add IRISH84 to his list of alias's too,lol at the link aswell.

    Ridiculous to call Calzaghe a 'B' fighter.... hes an ATG, he beat everyone that was put in front of him. He beat BHop, thats not a 'B' fighter.

    you mean he beat everyone frank warren put infront of him and then went on to overcome his 'fear of flying' and beat a couple of faded legends he should have fought in his prime?

    that doesnt make a 'great' fighter.

    you have to dare to be great to be great.

    He lost the BHop fight and everyone says it? Have these people looked at the figures of that fight? Im a big BHop fan, more so than I am a Calzaghe fan, but its nonsensical to say that he beat Calzaghe.

    i hate the guy but he is undefeated and he put Roy Jones Jr. AND Bernard Hopkins in their places. Don't care if he fought them as past prime guys.

    Since when was BHop faded? He followed the JC fight by taking Kelly Pavlik to school.... and thats a faded legend? Hopkins is still p4p top 5. He's still a legend.
