    More than half of his WBO defences were against non world level opposition.

    You're preaching to the converted with me, Loudon, and to be fair to Glass City Cobra, he has (eventually) backed down on this point, and the Calzaghe/Mayeweather resume depth comparison in general, in the other thread, so whilst that remains the case, I'll leave the subject alone.

    As a Brit who watched Calzaghes largely frustrating career unfold in real time, I completely agree with this assessment.
