    Beside Jeremy Williams Peter hasn't K.O a top 50 heavyweight and beside the old
    fat Toney he hasn't beat a top 50 heavyweight there are lot young and more exciting fighters with k.o. power like Dimitrenko ,Povetkin, David Haye or Arreola.

    the legit light heavy champion, who hopkins whupped from corner to corner and then the number 1 middleweight contender, who hopkins bullied for 7 rounds are weak opposition?

    i'll admit that hopkins is fighting more for paydays/legacy than for true challenges (he's not fighting erdei or dawson anytime soon), but if THIS is cherry-picking weak opposition then ask yourself, really, truly, what is calzaghe/his management doing???[/quote]

    Tarver was never anything more than a WBC belt holder.

    I don't deny Calzaghe doesn't have the best of resumes but you can;t always judge on resume.

    I don't remember 4 slips.

    Vasquez vs Wright + Soliman vs Wright = Calzaghe vs Wright

    i see some people are still struggling to grasp the whole idea of being overrated.

    WHO THE **** RATES VALUEV IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?!?

    no one!! so how can he be OVERrated?

    in order to be overrated, you must be rated positively in the first place.

    Calzaghe would be P4P 1 if he was American.

    How many losers are in the top 10, because they fight in the USA?

    dude, HOP UP OFF OF CALZAGHE'S NUTS! HE WILL NEED THEM AGAINST KESSLER!


    this is what i mean when i talk about calzaghe's fans making calzaghe out to be a god. there are only 2 fighters who have a legit p4p #1 clam, pac and pbf (with bernard hopkins a dark horse candidate). to say that if he was american he would be #1, well, that is an asinine statement. calzaghe would NOT be p4p #1 if he was american, and if he had the same exact record, he would probably be given more **** for avoiding strong american fighters who have been at/near 168 during his 'reign': james toney, roy jones, bernard hopkins, montell griffin etc.

    Prove it. Why should Calzaghe be rated higher than Floyd Mayweather Jr? I know I'm probably not going to get an answer but screw it.
