Doesn't anyone else think Loma is looking like a small Calzaghe??

    I liked Joe but he got many early and unnecessary stoppages in the UK.
    His win over Reid was tainted. His KO vs Manfredo was a joke (OK he would have
    won anyway but still). Beating Kessler....who was a B level Euro...didn't win me
    over. Even KO'ing RJJ can be considered a "so what" as Roy was used goods by that
    time.

    But he certainly beat Lacy (I don't care what people think of him now, at the time he
    was considered a monster), and Hopkins (yep).

    Eubank was shot, and his win over Tucker Pudwell was one for the ages.
    (Ok I'm kidding) .

    He really had no big names on his resume besides Hopkins
    and RJJ. Ritchie Woodhall? Charles Brewer? Omar Sheika? Sakio Bika? Not exactly a
    Murderer's Row.

    Very good boxer...fast hands, great footwork, ring savvy, but no really big wins on his
    record other than BHOP. Didn't fight RJJ ten years earlier, or Froch at the end.

    Calzaghe is one of the most over rated boxers in recent history. His best win, is a win half the people don't think he won. His second best win is against the punching bag version of Jones Jr. He behaved like a real ***** ducking out of the Glen Johnson fight with repeated fake injuries, and then all of a sudden he's healthy to fight when Johnson moves on. Calzaghe reigned over one of the weakest divisions of the last 30 years, and didn't have the heart to even test himself against a strong young champion. If Calzaghe is an all time great, then the label All Time Great has been just as watered down as the Boxing Hall of Fame has.
