    Morales.

    3 weight world champion, beat various greats and very good fighters.

    Calzaghe 2 weight world champion. but his resume pales in comparison to Morales.

    Also of note look at the fighters Morales fought back to back from his first fight with Barrera up until his fight with Diaz (which i believe he won). This is what set Morales apart from other fighters. Always fought the best.

    Calzaghe is only a 1 weight world champion. The Ring is just a magazine and not a sanctioning body.

    Your system is flawed if you rank Lopez, Mayweather, and Nelson as ATG's but not Erik, in my opinion.

    Morales, no doubt. Better resume in terms of depth, better 'best wins', better fighter in terms of skill/ability at his best weight, better career achievements. I genuinely cannot see any argument for having Joe higher at all.

    Morales has to rank higher than Lopez IMO. His resume is just so much stronger.

    so you would rank calzaghe over lopez...people penalize lopez for lack of good resume but his resume stands out in his division's history

    No doubt about it, Erik fought and beat the far better fighters..As much as his in the ring dominance and clear ability scores highly for me people tend to overlook the fact Lopez fought mostly trash, even Im guilty of that.
