    Euro fight fans, help me out here. I had never even seen Calzaghe fight before the Lacey fight. By that time, he was in his mid 30's and no longer in his prime. What were some of his big wins when he was in his 20's and in his prime? How much better of a fighter was he?

    Eubank, Mitchel and Robin Reid were his biggest before Lacy.

    Prime Calzaghe would knock himself out.

    Are you saying that Prime Calzaghe would knock out current Calzaghe?

    Can Calzaghe make a rock so heavy he that himself could not lift it?

    A TKO would be reasonably likely yes, although Calzaghe claims he would outbox his prime self.

    I heard he lost the reid fight. To answer your question he has beat no one that was good at the time he beat them.

    Calzaghe is not prime. Hopkins threw 50+ punches per round in his last fight. I pick Calzaghe by UD, but to say he is prime is a little off.

    Hes ducked the best fighters eg. Roy Jones Jr (prime) James Toney (prime) he beat Eubank when Eubank was a shot fighter. The only top notch fighter hes boxed is Kessler​

    The date-challenged nature of this claim has been pointed out so many times it's boring now.
