    So beating an unbeaten Veit isn't a good win?

    Beating current world champ Bika isn't a good win?

    Beating former world champ Ritchie Woodhall isn't a good win?

    Beating former world champ Robin Reid isn't a good win?

    LOL

    Go home son, you're drunk.

    beating Hopkins was better than Mayweather beating Canelo at 152 and Maidana at 147.

    He has about as much claim to it as Floyd does. Nonsense in both cases.

    Of course. He's undefeated, which means he's the greatest of all time. That's how it works.

    Joe "Slappy White" Calzaghe is TBE, King Of The Bums.

    Theres alot of butthurt on this thread and I think I can see why it is now.

    Calzaghe the true 46-0 never looked like he was beaten, never on bambi legs, never had to hold to survive and the champ in 2 divisions. Hardly ever having to back up in his entire career where he had legends holding to get through against him. Winner of 24 straight world title fights.
    I think many were thinking that the excellent Mayweather in title fight number 23, was going to be right up there, but on fight 46, he was in a tough fight where many felt he may have lost or that a draw was fair, where he was backed up.

    Calzaghe has led the way for many to follow, but there is nobody ready yet.
    Yes I admit, Calzaghe is TBE

    :rofl TBE where in his family, you will not find any relevant list where he is above Jimmy Wilde so he isnt even TBE in Wales, and not the best in UK last 20 years thats Lennox :hey
    DOnt get me wrong neither is Floyd(TBE).

    What did he accomplish is what matter face it Jimmy Wilde > Calzaghe

    Even British lists dont dare to put Calzaghe anywhere near greatest fighters ever http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...rs-of-all-time-in-pictures.html?frame=2719572 Joe was good but he isnt in the conversation for top 50 let alone being greatest ,but you tend to have man crush on fighters so you are blinded by that, just like you were in love with C+ level fighter Cleverly to the point that you could realize ass whooping that everyone with brain had seen coming :tong
    Lennox wins over Holyfield **** on everything Joe did win over Vitali is greater than win over Kessler/Lacy, only 2 relevant wins in Joes career are Hopkins and Kessler, LAcy isnt even HOF fighter just overhyped fighter who is completely irrelevant in history of boxing so its not more than decent win.

    Why have you not answered the question Filip? When did you watch J Wilde?
    Did Wilde or Lewis go unbeaten?
    You have to look at wins when they happened and where the fighters were.
    How do you think Lewis beating Holyfield is better than Calzaghe beating Hopkins? Explain that one.
    How do you think Lewis when he beat Klitschko was better than Calzaghe beating Eubank and if you call that performance against Klitschko as one of Lewis's best wins, then Calzaghe definately stands above as TBE

    I agree he's probably the greatest super-middle though I have a hard time favoring him over the likes of Fitz, Moore, Spinks and few others that fought at or around the same weight class. That's just me we all have our opinions I never really enjoyed watching the guy fight and thought he had a favorable path to an undefeated record.

    How is Lennox beating Vitali better win than Joe beating Eubank :lol: you just went full ******, Eubank 3 or 4 years prior to facing Joe didnt have relevant win of any kind just few bums, he was nowhere near prime good win nothing more, Vitali was prime.
    0 is for full like you to get hyped up, i guess Ottke is greater than Pacquiao because he retired undefeated it absolutely does not work that way :nono
    Ask your self why there isnt undefeated fighter in any list of top 10 fighters of all times.
    You think you can disqualify Jimmy Wilde because we dont have footage of him :patsch i told you find me one link of just one relevant source that puts Joe over Lennox.
