    TBH theres not a lot of quality in there that Calzaghe missed. Otke and Thomas Tate maybe? Grim division all around at that point.

    To prove Calzaghe fought more ranked opponents than he is given credit for?

    To be fair she'd have beaten Tocker Pudwill or Branco Sobot :lol:

    [Edit - you're going to tell me that Dana whosit is a geezer aren't you? :lol:]

    Calzaghe is both underrated and overrated - some people (Dan) have him down as a scrub and others think he's the best British boxer ever..... both views are pretty poor really.

    Quellet, Schalikov, Morris, Butler & Barr are hardly household names who are being banded around because Calfaggi ducked them.

    :yep If Calzaghe had a '1' in his losses column, I think people would have a lot more perspective.

    Gonna show my ignorance here, but how exactly does this "not rated" at No.2 thing work?:huh

    Should Rosenblatt not be No.2, then everyone below him moves up a slot and some guy comes up from No.11. into No10 spot?
