    good post, although you have to take comments from others within the game in context, i have seen some ball licking and silly comments made in the past.

    Yeah Hopkins is going to get out classed, one quote you forgot was nigel benn saying that "Calzaghe wouldve beaten anyone from his era including him."

    I could have picked many more quotes but I chose to use people who are universally respected and loved in the sport. Besides, I think Benn said to the question "Could Joe have beaten you in your prime?", Benn said "Possibly..... possibly." That's the closest I've ever seen him say what you think.

    Most of us know how good he is already - but it always good to see what your peers think of you.

    He's 44-0
    20+ title defenses
    and held every major belt in the weight class

    I thinks that more respect than ball licking

    History will show how great Joe Calzaghe is.

    Its such a shame that so many yanks dont appreciate true magnificence.

    now if he will just prove those things against actuall competition. kesler to me does not mean much because he himself has never beat anyone that is worthy of talking about

    Oh sweet Jesus - shut the **** up.

    Joe beat Eubank, Kessler, Reid and even Chris Byrd .

    Kessler has beat Mundine, Andrade etc. Its not the victories but the way Kessler handled his foe's thats impressive. Hes been UTTER dominant! Hardly ever lost a round - before the Calzaghe fight.
