    This ^.

    Khan hasn't really done anything to be considered great yet.

    Lewis, Calzaghe, Hamed, Haye, Froch and Hatton all deserve to be above Khan at this point in time.

    Calzaghe should be on the list ahead of Froch.

    Yes, I would argue that Froch wins over Prime Taylor, Dirrell, Abraham, Bute, Kessler are better than Calzaghe's wins over Kessler, Eubank, past prime and damaged Roy Jones, Past prime and old Hopkins, and Berto-like Jeff Lacy.
    BTW, the only ones big on Lacy were the HBO commentators, not the public.

    Yes, no doubt Froch has the better resume. Plus, hadn't Calzaghe retired, Froch would have his name on his resume also.

    khan is way better than joe. amir could have made 19 medicore defences like joe without any problems, but no one with any sense wastes their career doing that.
