    most agree that tito trinidad and oscar dela hoya should be close in their ATG rankings. Joe Calzaghe is a notch below.

    when i browse some mexicans top 10 ATG, ricardo lopez is always ahead of zarate and dela hoya..

    by that logic lopez should be ranked higher than calzaghe.

    now would you rank lopez and calzaghe...the best ever in their divisin with shallow history

    Who Ranks Higher? Explain..

    I shouldn't do this when I am tired. I cannot sleep so I come here. But I meant to pick Lopez barely. I was on the fence on it a little. So maybe unconsciously I wanted Calzaghe.

    Maybe so. No I think if I did press Joe, then it was a mistake.

    Ricardo.

    Two guys with limited resumes in relation to their talent. Although i'm becoming more impressed with Joe's skillset since his retirement, I still think Lopez looks the superior of the two on film.

    Calzaghe by one or two places, but I'm a bigger fan of Lopez.
