    No, he's got the best claim for best super-middleweight ever, but he can't claim the same at light-heavyweight after two fights only.

    Roy Jones is the best light-heavyweight ever.

    calzaghe should be ranked nowhere at light heavy.
    he is a super middle stepping up ,but to get a legacy in a weightclass you need to spend a long time there not a few months like calzaghe has done.

    I will type this slowly for the hard of thinking.

    Calzaghe WAS a 3 weight ABA champion.
    Calzaghe IS 46-0
    Calzaghe DID defend is world SM title 21 times
    Calzaghe IS a 2 weight world champion
    Calzaghe HAS be a world champion for 11 years
    Calzaghe HAS beaten 2 American legends in America

    Now all of that is a thing called REALITY proevoyoda NOT illusion.

    No way, Britain has more established 175lbers than Joe Calzaghe.

    Nah he shouldnt be ranked at 175 as he's only had 2 fights there.

    But head to head I'd favour him over lots do the people mentioned.

    If you fought Calzaghe at 175 and beat him, would that make you one of the greatest light heavyweights ever?

    Won't you ever understand that such claims make you look like a fool? :good

    You're either just doing a windup or you're a pathetically sad little boy deluded in man-love worship of very good fighter.

    Given the fact that this site is being turned into an overflowing toilet of everything Calzaghe and is desperately in need of a plunging....


    ....go get some help.

    No way. 2 fights can't make you great...especially against 43 and 39 y'o fighters.

    Pugilist. You mentioned calzaghe as a 2 weight world champion. He has only won titles at supermiddle & non at lightheavy.
