    I think Calzaghe's 0 is being overlooked here in comparison to Lewis' career...

    i like joe but this isn't even close. joe being undefeated helps but not near enough to put him ahead.

    I agree with those things you pointed out but calzaghe himself, his biggest victory was against a guy who;s already got knock out twice in his last 5 bouts.

    Anybody saying calzaghe is a ******ed fanboy. Lennox Lewis is easily top 50 atg, whereas calzaghe would be lucky to crack a top 150 list.

    The frustrating thing is - i feel JC went a year or two early. Wins over Pavlik (before hopkins) and maybe a dawson or froch could really have helped. these wins would have come in a pretty straight forward manner. no idea why after the jones fight - calzaghe retired yet Jones who was beat up for 11 and a half rounds fought on

    Calzaghe should rank higher & does in any poll done in Britain & the majority of polls outside of ESB.

    Any vote Ive seen done by experts or whoever in Britain have Calzaghe at the top of their list as best British boxer post war.

    Lewis is overrated on ESB & Calzaghe is underrated on ESB.
