Conclusion

Calzaghe dont have a win on his resume that can be considered world class. Example of a world class win, is Duran beating Leonard 1.

 

His win against Lacy was a world class performance on a Hype Job Jeff doesnt make the win world class, like Durans win over Leonard

How old did he make Hopkins look 43?

 

Its a legitimate question

if Calzaghe is to be ranked as an ATG
tell me one of his victories, that can be compared to Duran beating Iran Barkley
