    I watched that Eubank fight as a kid and vaguely remember Calzaghe out on his feet in the last round. Or am I mistaken as I haven't seen it since?

    at this point Calzaghe is underrated. For a guy to retire undefeated and fight some of the best is nothing but great.

    He talks way to much, and just fights old and small men.

    He's underrated, if I told you Garcia would be the undisputed welterweight champion you would say that's a nice career. Casual **** on Judah cause they are stupid.

    I think there are a lot of "out-boxers" these days who get credited with being excellent pure boxers when in fact they are just athletically, not necessarily technically, gifted.

    Just a general comment really, will have to think of some in particular.

    46-0 there is no Blueprint on how to beat him. Other fighters you can get a gameplan on how to beat then since they've been beat before but for Calzaghe there is no gameplan, no strategy on how to beat him. Like I said before, boxing history shows that all roads leads to Joe Calzagher all fighters are chasing after him.

    Boxing science and statistics show that most roads lead to Joe Calzaghe.

    Toney - lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe
    Dawson - lost to Pascal, who lost to Froch, who lost to Kessler, who lost to Calzaghe
    Ward - lost to D Boone, who lost to Pascal, who lost to Froch, who lost to Kessler, who lost to Calzaghe
    Froch - who lost to Kessler, who lost to Calzaghe
    Hopkins - who lost to Calzaghe
    Jones - who lost to Calzaghe
    Tarver - who lost to Hopkins, who lost to Calzaghe
    Nunn - who lost to Rocchigiani, who lost to Eubank, who lost to Calzaghe
    Pascal - who lost to Hopkins, who lost to Calzaghe
    Pavlik - who lost to Hopkins, who lost to Calzaghe
    M Griffin - lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe
    J Taylor - who lost to Pavlik, who lost to Hopkins, who lost to Calzaghe
    Mosely - who lost to Wright, who lost to Hopkins, who lost to Calzaghe
    De La Hoya - who lost to Trinidad, who lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe
    Bute - who lost to Froch, who lost to Kessler, who lost to Calzaghe

    The Klitschko Brothers and the HWs also

    W Klitschko - lost to Corrie Sanders, who lost to Hasim Rahman, who lost to Holyfield, who lost to Toney, who lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe

    V Klitschko - beaten by C Byrd, who was beaten by Wladimir Klitschko, who was beaten by Corrie Sanders, who was beaten by Hasim Rahman, who was beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who lost to Calzaghe

    Holyfield - lost to Ruiz, who lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe

    Lennox Lewis - lost to Rahman, who lost to Holyfield, who lost to Toney, who lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe

    Tyson - lost to Lewis, who lost to Rahman, who lost to Holyfield, who lost to Toney, who lost to Jones, who lost to Calzaghe

    Bowe - beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    Joe Frazier - beaten by M Ali, who was beaten by Holmes, beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    Big George Foreman - beaten by M Ali, who was beaten by Holmes, beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    S Liston - beaten by M Ali, who was beaten by Holmes, beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    I had to find out how true it really is, that all roads lead to Calzaghe and take this science to the greatest of levels.

    My findings will truly blow the minds of the ESB minions.

    I decided to look at some of the considered all time greatest fighters to see if Calzaghe really is the greatest and just look at this -

    Archie Moore - beaten by F Patterson, who was beaten by M Ali, who was beaten by Holmes, beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    Sugar Ray Robinson - beaten by J Archer, who was beaten by E Griffin, who was beaten by A Minter, who was beaten by T Sibon, who was beaten by F Tate, who was beaten by M Nunn, who was beaten by R Rocchigiani, who was beaten by C Eubank, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    M Ali - beaten by Holmes, beaten by Holyfield, who was beaten by Toney, who was beaten by Jones, who was beaten by Calzaghe

    He has lost to every good fighter he ever fought. The only good win on his resume is Cory Spinks.
