    Cal is the fastest white boxer I've ever seen. Unless you call Hector Camacho "white" then Cal is tied for first place as fastest white guy.

    Calzaghe is the better fighter with the better resume. He beat a prime viking warrior, not a dejetected village elder.

    168 was weak when Calzaghe was in his prime. Otherwise Calzaghe pretty much beat any threat they put in front of him. Lacy was supposed to KO him, the Kessler fight was huge, Hopkins was underdog but when is he not, Bika is always tough as nails and a solid win for any one who manages to beat him. Calzaghe won all of his important fights, and that is what I look at. Froch lost his most important fights against Mikkel Kessler the first time, Andre Ward, and I had Andre Dirrell beating him.

    On top of that, H2H I would have comfortably picked Calzaghe.

    IMO Calzaghe will end up being greater. But I will say Calzaghe blatantly ducked pre-schooled Pavlik, Johnson and Dawson.

    On the other hand, Froch hasn't ducked anyone at all, but it looks like he's on the verge of ducking Hopkins. Otherwise, he did fight every good/great fighter he could fight, at least once.

    and "poison" Jr Jones has two wins over Barrera? who's the better fighter overall? which one would be the better win for legacy?

    you may continue with your stupidity.

    you opinion doesn't count. the fact that Joe won, does. no way Hopkins won it.

    Agree for Jones but Hopkins had pretty successful career afterwards.
