    Joe Calzaghe ... I don't think he's going to beat Jones, but there's a chance that he can win.

    Joe Calzaghe has the savvy of a US fighter and totally fits the description of what a boxer/ puncher is.

    I'd say Julio Cesar Chavez and Lennox Lewis belong to that list.
    And LOL at those who say Joe Calzaghe :rofl

    I forgot about JCC ... he's definitely one of the best ...

    Alexis Arguello
    Joe Calzaghe
    Ricardo Lopez
    Felix Trinidad
    Kostya Tszyu
    Roberto Duran

    There isn't a definite guy, but there is a top 10 who belong in the talks of this topic.
