    That's a pretty good list. Smacks of realism.

    That said - I would rate Mundine or Green over Lacy or Sheika at the 168, but I'm not going to cry about it if you disagree.

    Why listen to what your dad tells ya? Watch all of his fights. Here .. it's not complete but they've got all but ten or eleven. Start with these:

    http://www.ftsboxingvideos.com/joe-calzaghe-dvd-boxing-career-set.html


    Joe basically fought a non-peak Chris Eubank in 1997 then not a single fighter as decent as that version of Eubank until 2006+. Joe has struggled with mediocre/average fighters as well as old men. He has zero non-controversial TKOs of a single decent fighter in his entire career. Go read prior posts - many have spelled out what you apparently don't know. Can't spend any more time with the genuflectors. If you see the greatest possible attribute set in Calzaghe you must not be much of an athlete yourself. Joe has had a very well handled bit of matchmaking if your intention is to elongate a career and avoid mishap. But, no one is convinced of "greatness" outside of maybe Hammersmith.

    168 is a pretty shallow pool considering the division isn't that old, not saying that either Mundine or Green are ATG's by any means, just probably notable among the Sheika's.

    I mean for me - The Scott Pemberton v Omar Sheika fights have been the most entertaining 168lbs fights ever.

    Then there's Charles Brewer and Antwun Echols who's short fight was also a *******.

    Ha ha - PC world gone mad, the above ****** says c r a c k e r. Not a derogatory term...

    This has got to be the stupidest thread I've seen in a while.

    It seems to me that the oxygen supply to your brain has been cut off by Calzaghe's balls in your mouth as you gobble on them... That would explain the ****ing stupid statements you've been making.
