He was a very good boxer IMO but lacked career defining wins vs great fighters. Prime Toney, Hopkins and RJJ all beat him I think.
He’s an ATG, but TBE? No way. He had a very good career and remained undefeated as a world champion which is a feat very few have accomplished. Only 3 other boxers acccomplished that feat....Rocky Marciano, Ricardo Lopez and Floyd Mayweather
Beg to differ. There are probably a good number. Just off the top of my head, Andre Ward, Sven Ottke, Terry Marsh and Edwin Valero.
How can a boxer be seriously considered GREAT!! When he couldn't throw a LEGITIMATE SCORING PUNCH!!!!
You really should get over the Hopkins defeat and check out some of Calzaghes other fights. He could punch..... Had to adapt his style due to hand injuries.
