No, his competition isn't even close to Calzaghe's. And he recieves no bashing, mostly he's overrated.
Lockett is like a poor mans Pavlik. Decent punch, decent chin, pretty straight forward fighting style and very beatable.
Actually yes. Please dont tell me you forgot Taylor beat Hopkins, the same Hopkins that JC has been salivating to fight btw.
In what manner did Taylor beat Hopkins? And do you think I'm going to give Calzaghe any credit for beating Hopkins unless he totally dominates him?
McKart, Zertuche, Miranda & Taylor is close to - Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Sheika, Mitchell, Veit, Lacy & Kessler. Please.
I say that because he has no room for improvement, he's likely at his physical peak and there are no extra intangibles like speed and amazing timing that could make him any better. He is what he is. He'd have virtually no chance vs. Calzaghe and would lose to any top SMW.

What stiffs are you talking about? 1-0-1 with Girard in Girard's homeland? A KO win over Liles. 2 wins over Siaca. A robbery loss to Sven Ottke. Then a KO loss to Calzaghe. What stiffs did he lose to? He won the linear title from Liles by knockout and then got an undeserved loss to Ottke.
