What is the Criteria of ATG

I'd give Calzaghe about a 15% chance to beat Toney.

The best Calzaghe vs. the best Toney that is.

 

15 championship fights won minimum ...

Maintain a good streak ...

80% winning percentage

I think that guys no matter what era who have won more than 15 championship fights is amazing.

 

Jones Toney was another element in his prime, a defensive genius, never been knocked down i dont think, il look that 1 up, but Toney vs calzaghe both in the primes would of been a great contest

 

Jones lost to Griffin by DQ, and then Knocked him out in less than a round in the Rematch.
Loses to Tarver, Johnson and Calzaghe came when he was past Prime.


His win against Toney is his best and stands out above any of Calzaghe's wins, Blowout win over Past his Prime McCallum and also his terrific Knockout of Virgil Hill and a win over a Green Hopkins.
Won Title's at Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight and is at 38 on my top 100 list, while many would actually rate him higher.

 

I got him around 29 I believe. But anywhere from 25-45 in my estimation is fair.

 

He was knocked down by Roy Jones Jr.

 

thanks i was just curious, but his competition wasent matched to his skill level were they, (dont think thats jones fault) he never really erm defended his title against any of the best fighters at heavy, or super middle, or middle weight, his best win was toney,and hopkins but other than that, no real HOF names other than Trinidad but cant count that,I think Jones gets in because of his skill, He was a spark in boxing which hadnt been seen since the leonard, duran era, my opinion of course

 

sorry i meant knocked out, How can i forget james toney getting cought like that

 

Achievement.

 

But if you are going to discredit Jones' win over Trinidad then you have to discredit Calzaghe's win over Hopkins, which just happens to be his most significant win.

 

How can i discredit that win hopkins is still active, trinidad wernt, Hopkins was the ring magazine light heavyweight champ and still a Top 10 p4p fighter, Trinidad wasnt ranked by any1

 

not to mention Jones was one of the biggest cherry pickers in the History of the sport. They guy handpicked just about all of his opponents.

 

He beat more future champions than anyone active in the sport today.

If thats cherry picking then I wish more fighters would cherry pick.

 

Good point.

I'll eat that last statement.
