    The discussion starts and ends with the fact that the boxrec brit forum is a more informative place to spend some time these days.

    It does seem odd to me that nobody knew who Calzaghe was four years ago, and now the very same people are saying he is Britain's best ever fighter.

    I guess they have never seen Lennox Lewis fight?

    Or Ken Buchanan?

    I'm been serious. I'd like to hear what the more knowledgable posters have to say about it. HOF what do you reckon?

    After 22 fights Calzaghe was an incredible 22-0 with 21 KO's .... He was the British champion having beaten Stephen Wilson and Mark Delaney for his best win. He celebrated his 22nd victory crushing Luciano Torres. In his next bout he would contest and win the WBO title beating an aged Christopher Livingstone Eubank impressively. A legend was born. On paper at the time his wins over Pat Lawlor (who had beaten and aged Duran) and Carlos Christie (who had once taken William Joppy the distance) were also notable.

    Khan is 21-1 with 15 Ko's he is a WBA minor title holder. He has impressive victories over English Champion Ryan Barrett, former Commonwealth champion Willie Limond, former English champion Scott Lawton, Former British champion Graham Earl, Former world champion Gairy St Clair, Former, Britsh Champion Micheal Gomez, former Irish champion Oisen ***an, former multiple world champion Marco Antonio Barrera and also a reigning world champion in Andreas Kotelnik. Suffice to say he is the superior fighter by quite some distance at the moment. At what point did Calzaghe surpass what Khan has achieved thus far?

    Of course it very much depends on who he fights but if he gets to 47-1 he will have probably far surpassed Calzaghe in most people's eyes.

    To me though, Khan's failure on ITV hit TV show Beat the Star will always let his legacy down. Calzaghe never loses.
