Absolutely spot on Dr. Virdi. Calzaghe may be unbeaten but in this day and age about money talking, he got the fights with old granddads Hopkins and Jones more about big paydays, knowing they were well past it.
The fab four - Calzaghe could never be mentioned in the same league, sorry to say. He done well for himself in his career, but I question his true standing in the 'Greats'. Not on the same level as the likes of Hagler, Hearns, and also, Hopkins and Jones Jnr at their best. Rating :
