That so many people think he's overrated just shows how underrated he is. Calzaghe hasn't faced the kind of opposition we'd like, but he's a genuinely great fighter.
That opinion points to you being a casual fan. A Calzaghe victory would get tongues wagging in the general public. But at this stage of his career, it wouldn't carry a whole lot of meaning. It certainly wouldn't be among his three best victories.
Calzaghe is a super middleweight and he just unified the division. what more do you want. he's going to fight hopkins and win. what more do u want? he should go after pavlik after that and retire after being him. I'm not a Calzaghe fan but he's a great fighter.
I think you gotta say he's underrated....Joe has been a world champion for 10 years and regardless wether you think he has had hand picked opponents or not....that is some achievement..... but he'll always have people that don't rate him ,because thats in the nature of other fighters fans....
