    Solid Tocker Pudwil
    1 dimensional Kessler
    Dangerous Manfredo
    Old Hopkins
    Shot Jones

    calzaghe is the definitely of a very, very good but not great fighter. he's the best 168 pounder ever due to his dominance and length of activity. beat some solid opponents but no all time greats anywhere near their best. as long as you keep him in perspective, he's not too overrated

    Underrated due to his resume/accomplishments.

    agree with this

    Most people agree Calzaghe is a good level fighter, but his fans rank Calzaghe to the maximum and make it out as if Calzaghe beat fighters in their primes.

    Calzaghe is the most overrated fighter by nutthuggers.

    tyson is definitly the most overrated fighter in the world

    Don´t get me wrong he is an ATG and close to top 10 heavy all time...

    But if you ask average joe on the streets who the best fighter ever was, you would be suprised how much you will hear Mike´s name pop up..

    I'm not sure about all time. There have been tons of guys who either failed to deliver, or ultimately failed to live up to their potential.

    On the current scene it's Andre Ward. This kid has one questionable win over a world class opponent, and people act like he is a proven all time great.

    I Agree!!!

    Adamek is a good win of course.. But after that he has done nothing to make a P4P case...

    He got a gift decision against an old Glen Johnson.. And 2 wins over a shot Tarver.. And some other wins who deserves no mention..

    I believe Pascall will give him all kind of trouble
