Andre Ward. G.O.A.T @168 Joe Calzaghe. Impressive 21 WBO Title defenses reign 1998-2007 Sven Ottke. Impressive 21 IBF Title defenses reign 1998-2004 Carl Froch. Fought & Beat every man he faced faced except Andre Ward Roy Jones Jr. Dominating 44-0 ATG James Toney Mikkel Kessler 1-1 Carl Froch Steve Collins. Iron Chin, bigger heart, defeated Benn & Eubank Nigel Benn. Big heart, loss and draw with Eubank, hurting G Man Chris Eubank. 1-0-1 on paper with Benn, older times kept on fighting James Toney | Chong-PalPark
Calzaghe #1 for me followed by Andre Ward. Roy was like superman in the ring and H2H no doubt beats them all, but his body of work at SMW was so thin.....
Didn't read...no Kessler... True list. Joe calzaghe #1 there is no blueprint. . . . . Ward #2 Kessler #3 Roids #4 Froch #5 Eubank #6 Benn #7 Collins #8 Ottke #9 Lacy #10 Calzaghe with 3 scalps on the list baby.
If we are talking quality of fighter I would say RJJ number 1 However, he did not do enough at the weight to be ahead of Ward and Calzaghe I pick Ward as 1 and Joe as a close second Joe had a lot of defences, but he had a lot padding in his record early on. A great fighter though and certainly finished his career very strongly I think I would pick Joe to outwork Ward to a decision
At one point I had RJJ #1, then Andre Ward taught us that he always finds a way to win. A quality RJJ lacks, Ward is the proof there is nothing such as Fate/Bad Luck Ward Gold vs RJJ Silver If Ward was in Seoul 1988 he would have found a way to win the Gold Medal because he is the definition of perfection.
1. Ward 2. Joe Calzaghe 3. RJJ -- the best ever at 168 in pretty much every category but resume/accoldes at 168, though I do think Ward has a good shot to beat him H2H, one of the only fighters id ever favor over Jones. 4. Kessler and Froch tied at 4 5. Eubank 6. Collins 7. Benn 8. Toney 9. Lacy 10. Pal Park
I like your list but i would put Calzaghe ahead of Froch. Also not really sure how to rate Roy Jones. Talent wise he could easily be #1, but level of competition wise at 168 i remember him fighting a lot of chumps like Bryant Brannon
Roy Jones Jr. biggest legit career win was at 168 The fight was between the top undefeated fighters. (Pernell never lost, but you get the point) November 1994 P4P list: Pernell Whitaker 33-1 James Toney 44-0 Roy Jones Jr. 26-0
These two happening during the same time period really makes BOTH look bad. Joe Calzaghe. Impressive 21 WBO Title defenses reign 1998-2007 Sven Ottke. Impressive 21 IBF Title defenses reign 1998-2004
Ward top wins at 168 are: Mikkel Kessler Allen Green Carl Froch Arthur Abraham Chad Dawson These are what makes Ward the best ever at 168?!?!
