    Vitali I don't think comes close to Calzaghes level of opposition, thanks to his injuries and lack of decent opponents.

    Wlad's career is not over yet. If Wlad can string together another 8-10 wins against good opposition then I think he may outshine Calzaghe.

    the problem there is not "good competition" @ heavy. I think if he beat haye, adamek and povetkin he will out shine the other two. I think joe will win the poll because kbros vote will be split (I should have thought about that before I did the poll)

    Joe - people talk about his resume but the best the Klits can come up between them is a lose to an old Lennox Lewis.

    Wlad has barely lost a round in 6 years against opposition similar to the level of Calzaghes...

    Although I dont rate Haye too highly a win over him will surely top anything Calzaghe has ever done.

    I like Calzaghe but he will only ever be considered very good whereas Wlad has a chance to be considered great.

    Joe, only because the Klits are fighting in the weakest HW era in the last 20 yrs or more.

    I don't think any of them will be on an ATG list.

    How can you go against a guy whose never been beaten? Been in with Kessler at his peak, a super confident Lacy, RJJ, Eubank and Hopkins.
    Whose Wlads biggest victory against?

    None of them are all time greats, but when all of them are six feet under, Calzaghe will be the most highly regarded.

    Yes! with the exception of Lennox Lewis - how many great champions did the Klits beat? Calzaghe got the W's over RJJ, BHop, Eubank, Kessler.
