    Who ranks higher all time? I know Joe beat Roy, but he didn't beat the real Roy just an old shell of what was the best fighter I have ever seen. I'm wondering what you UK fans think.

    Thank you for your opinions.

    Are you on a wind up? JC acheived a lot and fair play to him, but RJJ was the best of a generation.

    Jones by a margin so large it can be seen from space.

    Roy Jones Jr. by a mile.

    Calzaghe simply can't compare.

    Jones junior.

    Won a title at middleweight against Hopkins.
    Beat Toney at Supermiddleweight.
    Won at lightheavyweight.
    Won WBA belt at heavyweight.

    Outweighs 10 years of WBO and a few tough fights towards the end.

    Was Calzaghe a "light-heavyweight champion" ?

    Roy Jones.

    In terms of talent Calzaghe is behind Jones but not by a great deal. But in terms of achievments Jones by a long way

    In terms of talent Jones is way ahead of anyone you care to mention, including Calzaghe. Calzaghe wasn't "talented" as such, he had certain attributes that made him a very good fighter, but for pure natural talent he wasn't in the same universe as RJJ.

    It is like comparing Vitali and Ali.....

    Pavlik and Robinson

    Zab Judah and Pernell Whitiker

    One is a great.... one is a talented but flawed fighter..... Protective match making doesn't make you an ATG.

    Just so were clear Jeff, Pavlik is JC and Robinson is RJJ right? Your previous "hahahahaha" post didn't indicate clearly who's side you were on.....:D

    You may be right:lol:.... This kind of shite makes me feel obliged to tear apart Calzaghes shoddy 'ATG' CV nearly every week... Seriousy can people not just get a grip of themselves.....

    I'm looking forward to Froch smoking Taylor this weekend because Taylor beat both Hopkins and Lacy and Froch's subsequent battering of him will add further weight to my argument.

    In fact i'm tempted to say that Taylor beat a slightly better version of Lacy then Zaggy did.... Least he tried to win a round instead of coming into the fight a beaten man.

    The only argument JC fans will have left is the Kessler one, and in all fairness Kessler would barely have cracked the top ten circa 1995.... Brilliant. 46-0 and what? :fire

    Calzaghe better then Jones? Dear oh dear.
