    I know your not Calzaghes biggest fan (quite the opposite) But what did Jones jr exactly do at super middle to justify you putting him there.
    Or was this whole thread a ploy just so you could have a dig.

    Well first of all lemme say 21 sucessful defences of the unifeid supermiddlweight titles is very impressive...but then you need to look at the names of the fighters that Joe beaten....and honestly he has not beaten 1 big name fighter? who the hell is Mikkel Kessler and Jeff Lacy? what great fighters have they beaten? what great things have they done since losing to Joe Calzaghe,u see they are nobodies,Joes only defended his titles against bums his whole career in the supermiddleweight division

    I say Roy Jones was the best supermiddlweight because he beat the very best supermiddleweight back then and also the number 1 P4P fighter at the time,James Toney,i also had to add that James Toney was undefeated at the time 44-0,IBF Champ and Jones fought at a disadvantage coming up from Middleweight and still manage to dominate Toney and win,Roy Jones also went on to beat Hall of Famer Mike Mccallum...now did you see Joe Calzaghe back then trying to fight the best supermiddleweight in the world? Did u see him trying to fight the number 1 p4p best? Did u see him taking risks like Roy defending his titles against Greats like Mike Mccallum? No u did not!! instead we saw him beat fighters like Branco sobot,Rick thornberry,Robert starvie,Kabary Salem, who the hell are these people!!??...And u call him the best Supermiddleweight of all time??

    Never mind.
    For a minute there i thought you had started an interesting thread.
    But all along it was a ploy so that you could start a gay rant about calzaghe.
    I really cant be bothered to waste my time argueing my point as it will be pointless.
    I will let your own thread do the talking. Seeing as every single person has calzaghe as the best super middle. Now unless you know something everyone else on this forum doesnt. Which you dont.
    Can you please stop with your ridiculous hate threads and **** off.
    Adios.
