    your stupid kessler came in as a late replacement to Manyy siacca and beat him silly for his first world title forght for the Wba so no he did npt only beat beyer and sartison. and they weren't hand picked oppents either. you know ****. he obviously hasn't beaten any world champions since he fought joehe foughten twice and won his old vacant belt back. he then proceeded to beat mundine ,lucas, beyer and andrade thats 5 top 10 rated fighter at 168 at the time. how is that eve remotly compareble to Lispey .

    your simple

    Definitely Hopkins at 160...and if you talk about entire resumes irrespective of weight classes, than its Hopkins by a landslide....

    you know mundine wasn't the champ at the time he fought Kessler he had lost his title to Siaca who kessler beat in 7 rounds.

    well alot of peoplehad forgaoten just how devestating B-hop was early in his career he was older had a very boring fight with holmes and did not look like the destroyer of old. i for one pickled b-hop for that fight and rubbed it in some PR's that i know face. yes tito was favored heavley but fact is he was never effective really at that weight other then a win agaist joppy and an above his wieght Mayorga how is his resume at 160. please don't mention Cheriife. lol. if b-hop had beat tito at 147 or hell even at 154 then he his win would be even bigger is tito a bigger win in essence of name hell yes he's a bigger win then kessler but tito was no a bigger threat being the naturally smaller man.

    Glen was unbeaten the same way Mario Veit was- by beating up terrible fighters. That's why he subsequently got beat the next few times he stepped up his competition. What wound up working for him was that his padded record got him valuable experience landing fights everywhere, in which he capitalized on to improve into a world-class fighter. My respect for him comes from him being a prospect with an inflated record that was exposed, but who never quit after a couple losses and never quit trying to improve.

    Regardless, I'm tired of all these Calzaghe-Hopkins pissing matches. **** it, I'm going with Ottke today. :D

    Keith Holmes was an excellent win along with Antwun Echols who was dangerous in his prime ...ask Charles Brewer.

    Also this Myth that Trinidad was a a blown up welter is BS.

    Trinidad destroyed Joppy who was nr:2. Trinidad was P4P one of the best and destroyed Light middles Vargas/Reid with ease along with Middleweights like Hessin Cherrifi

    The combination of DLH and Trinidad is better to me than Lacy-Kessler for Calzaghe !

    De la hoya started his career at 135 pounds, Trinidad at 140 how those wins are better than Lacy - Kessler?

    Of course Calzaghe has a better resume, nobody knew about Hopkins before the Trinidad fight.

    Hopkins. His only losses are against Jones(one sided) and Taylor(two close fights, first one a draw IMO and second clear win for Taylor).
