    I have never seen someone argue such sub-par fighters like Bailey has, while dismissing James Toney and Roy Jones Jr like they are some unproven scrubs.

    Jones should have fought Veit. I've read that he was a great fighter who just happened to be ruined by da bestest eva.

    Joe said he never cared for rematches, but made an exception for Viet since he was able to finish him in 1 round first time out. Joe the British Ottke , dont take any risks.

    His chin problems started after the first Tarver fight. He went into the bout dehydrated, which meant that he would of had less fluid in his skull to cushion the impact of Tarver's punches. It's obvious from that fight the he could take a punch especially during the last 2 rounds

    I don't really like Jones, but he was easily the most brilliant fighter to fight in smw divison, which is why these guys try so hard to tear him down ALL of the time

    to 40 yr old Malinga. Would lose his next fight to Silvio Branco and would achieve nothing despite fighting for the next 10 years.

    Woodhall:

    This content is protected
    . Would retire 0-2 in his last 2 fights

    Brewer:
    This content is protected
    to Echols had lost 8 times before facing Calzaghe. Achieved nothing after the Calzaghe loss

    Mitchell:
    This content is protected
    . Would retire 0-2 in his last 2 fights. Would return years later where he is now something like 2-9 in his last 11 fights

    Lacy:
    This was the first opponent Calzaghe faced who was ranked within the Ring top ten and on a winning streak.
    Best wins: Sheika
    Debatable wins: Mendoza, Manfredo
    Losses: Taylor, Jones, Calzaghe
    In other words he lost everytime he tried to fight an opponent above Sheika level

    Kessler:
    Calzaghe best win at smw. The only opponent worth mentioning despite the fact he defended his belt 21 times
    Best wins: Froch
    Losses: Ward, Calzaghe
    Lost decisively when facing opponents above Froch level
