  3. Without a doubt he is, just a shame he was born between the eubank, benn, collins era and before the super 6 era. Calzaghe head to head is the greatest smw ever and without a question the best brit. His dedication alone surpasses any other boxer in history. He ran for miles and fought all comers just to earn 300 a week from mickey duff. People slag Calzaghe off but they should realise he got the **** end of the stick at the start of his career and that is why he is so money orientated. If he had the paydays naseem, lewis and hatton got he would have risked alot more. He was extremely gifted but should have risked fighting more names to thicken his resume. Instead he needs posters like myself to back up his talent when he could have settled the argument himself. Arguments aside guys, no brit even comes close head to head to Calzaghe.

    It's just a shame he never proved it in the ring, more like.

    Lewis has a better resume than Calzaghe
    Lewis had a better skillset than Calzaghe
    Lewis was better H2H than Calzaghe

    Where do I stop?

    Not the finest but one of them.

    Saying that Henry Cooper is better because he knocked Clay down is laughable, that is one moment. Cooper was a domestic and European class fighter, he always came up short.

    In terms of Hd 2 Hd and skillset

    Lennox Lewis
    Randolph Turpin
    Benny Lynch
    John Conteh
    Herol Graham

    all were better fighters in my opinion

    Benny Lynch? Christ your old as ****.

    Agree with Lewis, agree with Graham. Prime Hamed was more skillful, so was Colin Mcmillan, so was Johnny Nelson, so was Nigel Benn, Eubank, Woodhall, McKraken, Pyatt, etc etc.... there's many, many fighters more skillful then Calzaghe. He was just consistant in his mediocrity.
