Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

The problem with that is his lack of high profile opponents. Had he fought and defeated Hopkins and Jones earlier in his career, that would make a difference.

But then, AB, would they also not have been more formidable opponents?

Certainly...which is why beating them earlier in their careers would have been so impressive. Calzaghe has had a GREAT career, but he has too many fights against average opposition (which is THE biggest problem with boxing) to rank up there with the all time greats.
