    Exactly.

    Winky Wright hadn't lost in close to a decade.

    Antonio Tarver was the LHW Champion of the world.

    Jean Pascal was the LHW Champion of the world.

    Tito Trinidad was an undefeated knockout puncher who was the betting favourite over Bernard Hopkins.

    Kelly Pavlik was the undefeated MW Champion of the world and one of the bigger stars in Boxing. Hopkins was considered old after the Calzaghe fight.

    Wouldn't want double standards, would we.

    Oscar should be in the polls. I didn't put him in. If Oscar had won all his fights, he would have been the GOAT. (Possibly all time) but he didn't.

    In terms of resume toughness though, Oscar by far had the toughest run out of any body since Ali.

    jesus christ, i thought i'd made it clear already. clearly not. for the second time...

    lacy was in his prime at his natural weight.

    was wright at his natural weight?

    was tarver not weight drained?

    was pavlik not fighting at 10lbs above his natural weight?

    was tito not fighting two weight divisions above his natural weight?

    pascal was the WBC champion of the world, not the lineal champ. who had dawson beaten to become THE champ? old tarver and johnson?
    get the hell out of here.

    calzaghes five top wins are way, way better than hopkins top five wins. no contest.

    hope i made it more clear this time.

    hell no, it wasn't. not with all the other guys in the division that dawson hadn't fought. i know the americans like to distort **** for their own fighters, but this is bull****.

    dawson has never been lineal, and he never will be. neither has pascal.

    anyone of these guys could be the number one. they have to fight each other first to see who is THE champ. i don't care who people have as 1, 2, 3 etc etc
    they have to fight to prove it.

    pascal
    cloud
    campillo
    shumenov
    hopkins (i think he's too old, but his victories over pascal keep him up there)
    cleverly
    dawson

    I'm talking about august of 2010... Show me the TOP guys at LHW. Dawson vs Pascal was for vacant lineal. That's just how I see it.

    take your pick. he lost to hopkins so it doesn't matter. hopkins then lost to dawson.

    the last lineal champ at the weight was joe calzaghe. there hasn't been one since.

    doesn't look like there will be either. dawson has avoided cloud for god knows how long. shuminov and hopkins have refused to get in there with cleverly.

    they all need to fight to sort this crap out.

    So then Hopkins after beating Pascal become lineal? Top guys in division.

    Ok, this is going too far. Basically I agree to SJS19, to me Hopkins resume is better than Joes. But again, its not objective. Its just how I see things. Also between those picks about whois resume is the best - in my mind theres no doubt that Pernell resume is just far superior. After him there is Pac and Lennox.

    no, hopkins didn't become lineal after beating pascal. had he of beaten dawson, then i could see him as the lineal champ. but he didn't beat dawson, he lost.

    i have calzaghe as having the better resume. not by a huge amount or anything, but still better.
    joes five top wins are better than bernards five top wins. :deal

    lennox lewis' resume pisses on pernells. no doubt about it.

    Hopkins was Ring Champion, is that good enough for you?
