    I could. And when Joe gets his hand raised after winning everyone of those fights. How will you handled the brutal reality, that Joe Calzaghe is THAT GOOD??

    No question Calzaghe was terrific. But if you think he's beating prime Spinks, Moore and Foster, you're delusional. He has NEVER fought anyone as remotely as good as those 3, neither at 168, nor at 175. Not a single fighter.

    Imagine what Rocky Marciano must have thought then.

    Joe defeated everyone he faced including Jones and Hopkins. Haters gonna hate but he earned his place in boxing history.

    if he earned his place in boxing history, how come he used to get one line mentions in british tabloids for a decade on end until he finally dared to face lacy and Kessler?

    even stuart hall used to get more coverage than that.

    it depends how you view the phrase atg.

    i'd guestimate i'd call around 130-150 fighters that, and joe is one of them, if you would only call 50 guys that then joe is not one.
