Calzaghe is way overrated.

    And calling out old man Hopkins solidifies it. he beat an unproven fighter in lacy and he got praised like he had just beat Ali in his prime. and kessler was just mediocre at best. why does he refuse to call out the real threats like pavlik , dawson , any many others calzaghe will most likely retire after getting a UD over the old man and be called an ATG :-(

    Although, I think Calzaghe has to be the favorite in this fight just as were Tarver, Trinidad and even Wright by a small margin, we should all remember that Bernard Hopkins has proved people wrong again and again. I would never bet against Bernard Hopkins again. That man is nothing short of the truth. If Calzaghe thinks that this is going to be easy he has another thing coming.

    Kessler mediocre ? I dont see any fighter except Calzaghe from 160 to 175 that can beat him.

    Dawson would beat him, imo.

    But Kessler would probably beat the rest.

    overrated by defending his title all this years and without a loss in all his career, don't think so, but I do believe that the quality of opposition hasn't been that great, Kessler was good but his biggest test will be B-hop no doubt.

    Same format, you read a ****wit thread started by a total tit, look to the left and see a Mayweather Avatar.
    Is he the linear champion of ******s or something?

    Way over rated? I only hear Joe referred to as the top 168 pounder today, a claim that can't be disputed right now. Everybody was swinging on Jeff lacys nuts pre-Calzaghe, so when he lost badly, he became a bum, or so it is said.
    Joe outboxed Kessler too, even though the Danes performance was a very good one. I don't hear Joe making the claims that Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather make of themselves. In fact, for one of the top ten guys in the world today, he's pretty laid back. So this unsolicited, obviously biased thread is nothing more than the predictable trash talk of a Mayweather fan, who , for some reason resents the success of someone who doesn't act like an ignorant street punk.

    For years, Joe Calzaghe was the most underrated champion in boxing. Its only the last few years that people have really started to sit up and take notice. Better late than never.

    I did prefer being a JC fan when we were an intelligent miniroty sect, now he has become more universally popular he has more of a moron following...swings and roundabouts i guess.:D
