Not making big fights earlier in his career. He has proven to me he is the real deal though. Judges give him too much credit for his pitter pat flurries sometime though,.

 

Are you serious? I think he is given more credit than just about anyone. His fans think he is a god. And everyone else give him credit and agrees he is an ATG, it's just his diehard fans that annoy everyone.

 

I vote other, because without admitting it I'd say the vast majority know Joe's in the cream of the crop, but a majority of his fans are such ass holes about it, that admitting it to them would be like smashing your dick with a hammer.

 

If he beats a couple of elite fighters before he's done, i will truly regard him as a great fighter. But right now, i'm still not sure. I mean he barely beat a 43 year old Hopkins that ran out of gas. How can i give him so much credit?

Kessler? Yeah, we'll have to see what he does. If he goes on to do great things, Calzaghe will get more respect. But if he doesn't, then what? Lacy? He's been proven to be overrated.

So who has he really beaten that was truly "elite"? If he beats a combination of Dawson, Pavlik, Tarver, Taylor, Johnson, etc, then i will give him credit. But right now, i still think he's overrated.

 

Well, most of you Euros might think that Taylor, Pavlik, Johnson, and Tarver are trash but not Americans. We consider these guys proven fighters. And if Calzaghe beats a couple of these guys, i will give him all the respect. But right now, i'm still not sure. But that's just me.

 

He's Champ at SMW and LHW...Not at MW.

 

Because he still needs 1-2 fights in hostile territory against stiff opposition.

PS! Please Arum plus Warren. Take the Pavlik-Calzaghe fight to Ohio!!!!!!
