    Agree with the above. However, as much as i would have liked to have seen him beat Froch and shut people up, i really don't see why Froch thought he had more right than any one else at the time to fight Calzaghe. What had he done that was worth Calzaghe even noticing at that time?

    Calzaghe had zero to gain from fighting Froch back then.

    Calzahge not a bad fighter his win over Kessler proved that. But he seems massively overrated.

    Wat did he have to gain from fighting pudwill instead of froch? Was a ***** move.

    To me calzahge hype was the same as the bull**** green tried to pull off.

    Calzaghe one of my favourite ATG boxers, can easily see why people dont like his style but for me hes all class, extremely smart and durable and I think only a prime Roy Jones would have possibly beaten him , Ottke wisely ran for the hills

    46-0 was no accident he was a winner from Eubank to Hopkins

    I don't pretend to know everything bout boxing.
    Calzahge alright , but he's more a case of good management then all time great,that's my opinion. Tell me who he beat and under wat circumstance that makes him so great.

    Really I thought he avoided pavlik to fight Bhop and avoided Dawson to fight jones just like he avoided froch to fight puddy.

    Mate im a firm believer in you go to the champs house ,unbeaten & undisputed at 168lbs and when he was over the hill went to the states and dry bummed that Hopkings clown ( all you lads down under seem to odilise him for sine strange reason ) that cats the fraud , as for RJJ Francis lmfao you should be kissing Joes arse for fighting Roy as they worked **** out themselves without the help of any promoter mooching **** ,

    U think Hopkins is a joke but the man who beat him at pensioner stage is a legend. Right..

    U old timers.
    We all know belts can be bought if a hype job is gonna make money. Tell me who he beat and under wat circumstances.

    I also thought that his lhw title was a paper belt?

    In 2002 when he was avoiding Froch to fight "Puddy" Carl was being taken four rounds by 2-58-3 Journeymen on his debut , please unplug your lap top , remove the charger , fold down the lid and smash yourself senseless over your Barnett with it ,you my old china plate a complete embarrassment to your country and it's folk . word .
