He spent most of his career fighting nobodies in Britain (why didn't come to the US much earlier? Answer: he is a cat!). Pacquiao has come out of abstract and foist himself in big time boxing. Why couldn't Calzaghe do the same? Why did it take him so long to make his mark - and against a 43 yr Hopkins and an ageing Jones? The point is that there will always be question marks over Joe's "greatness". There are NO question marks as to Manny's legacy! This shows when both give interviews... Calzaghe is always defensive, always being questioned about his legacy. Pacquiao is always gracious, there never are any questions about his legacy and his greatness. He made sure of his legacy by fighting in the big time in his prime... As for Calzaghe... both Hopkins and Jones showed enough to suggest that they both would have smashed Joe had the fight occurred 5-6 years ago - especially Hopkins who I thought won the fight. Both Jones and Hopkins will always be regarded as greater than Calzaghe... So those fights proved absolutely nothing. Calzaghe continuously makes excuses for his non-appearance in the big time... With Manny: he was there when it counted. So there is no contest about who is #1 P4P. That is Manny... In fact, I think this forum is silly for even raising the question.
