Hmmm...then how come nobody HAS beaten him? It would take a truly great fighter to beat Calzaghe, he has a rare combination of speed, workrate, chin, adaptability and will. Eubank was till good enough to junp two weightclasses after fighting Calzaghe and look better against Thompson than David Haye. Reid was a good fighter, Lacy and Kessler were undefeated belt holders, Hopkins was still good enough to school Pavlik. Joe hasn't lost in the sport of boxing since age 17...probably one of the longest winning streaks in any sport, ever. That alone is pretty damn impressive and if you can't see that, you obviously have never been an athlete.
Because he fought bums most of his career, then took on an overrated neverwas in Kessler and fought two 40 year olds in Hopkins and a shot Roy Jones. Hell, James Toney would be undefeated too if he fought the same comp Calzaghe did. No to mention gifts against Reid and Hopkins,.
calzaghe. who else. but we will never know because he retired with his tail b etween his legs. how is the best "prime" opponent he ever faced going to be kessler? that jsut shows u right there his legacy is tepid at best
Aside from Kessler? Kessler is the only one that could beat him at this stage. All 6 guys are very good, but Joe's a truely exceptional fighter. Only his age would make things difficult, and i can see Kessler just going in for the KO this time. Huge chance he wouldnt be ale to get it though, and Joe beats him too Calzaghe's in a different league from these guys
