    For me he could have been an ATG but he isnt, The competition wasnt there for him and he left somethings too late in his career.

He was the recognized 168 pound champion i believe. Then he then beats Bernard Hopkins to be the recognized 175 champion in the world.

      Do you all think he has other fights left to prove himself? Or his legacy sealed?

      Chad Dawson or a Hopkins rematch are the only really attractive fights for me but i am not sure if Calzaghe would be interested
      calzaghe beats a shot rjj and he no longer has anything to prove??? please!!!

      he needs to make atleast 2 fights imho. fight dawson. rematch bhop. and if he really wants to be great fight glen johnson who he ducked.

          Rematch Hopkins.

          I don't give a **** if it's in Wales and Joe's girlfriend is the referee.

                Like who??? Dawson?? Glen johnson??? Diacanu??? Joe Calzaghe is in that Mayweather stage where NO matter who he fights he gets NO credit and people would just say fight this one next until he loses..

                    I agree.

                    Joe certainly has the talent and ability to be a true ATG but he's missed the boat. Once he'd wupped Eubank he should have had the big fights but a combination of lack of confidence, bad hands and wanker warren put paid to that. Now Joe has grown in confidence and stature it's all too late for him. There isn't a legacy fight out there for him, beating B Hop again won't give him that and neither would beating Dawson. Despite lacking real power I think he could and should be remembered as a true great but he lost the chance to prove it and there is nobody around now that will allow him to change it.

                      Nope. His haters will still rip him for not fightin tougher fights in his prime years but he's done all he can do at this point. He could retire now and nobody can really question him.
