What did Calzaghe do to be considered as ATG?

Yes, you did. The skills were great. Calzaghe was undefeated. Lots of title defense. Beat big names such as Kessler, Roy Jones, and Bernard Hopkins. The Hopkins win looks pretty good now, since he beat Pavlik.

 

erm were do i start

he reigned for over ten years as wbo champ

hes undefeated

hes beaton lacy, kessler, jones, and hopkins

he unified the super middleweight and has held all four major titles

its not his fault hes 2 damn good for his own good that people question him

 

we dont question him, we question you

 

ok wats your opinion on it then

 

He's good, but to call him an ATG, IDK! He could've been, but his best wins are over 40 yr olds. It pisses me off how theres Euro fans on this site that didnt even know about this guy a yr ago, but they claim they've been following his career forever and all this other crap.

 

hey man i dont claim 2 have followed his whole career, but ive watched most of his big fights and read his book and i can tell u calzaghe wanted those big names way before he actually got the chance 2 fight them winky wright wanted nothing 2 do with him, hopkins pulled out of a fight about seven years ago because he wanted 8 million dollars instead of four, and calzaghe couldnt even get hold of jones, he actually gave up on those fight and eventually found someone called lacy the rest is history

 

well you're one of the few.

 

calzaghe missed his chance to establishhimself years ago when all these fighters were in their prime. He chose to fight in his comfortzone, now we are supposed to get hyped over two victries against not in prime legends. No way Jose!!!!

 

erm have u even read wat ive said

 

yeah but he could have gone to america where you make name as a fighter years ago, and forced a bout against anyone.

 

Exactly. If he really wanted Jones, he would've gotten ranked by the sanctioning body and got his shot

 

dont think he has had two fights now he is a great, pac has had 20 fights in america against top opposition the difference between great

 

Slapping 43 yr olds = GREAT! :rofl

 

he did against hopkins until hopkins pulled out

 

either way, regardless of what people think of Calzaghe's style or punch technique, he's beaten everyone put in front of him.
