    Unlike those guys Calzaghe was feasting on cans in wales for most of his career :deal

    Name one Calzaghe win as good as MAB's victory over Erik Morales?

    Name one Calzaghe win as good as Erik Morales's victory over Manny Pacquiao?

    And remember these victories came over opponents who were close to if not in their primes not two fighters who were clearly past their prime and in their 40's.

    Kessler, unified champion, undefeated fighter who was Ring #1 and on the verge of being rated in the Top 10 P4P is a better win than Erik Morales at that point in his career.

    Hopkins, the man at LHW, coming off some of his best victories and having since gone and beaten more youth prime fighters, P4P #2 when he got beaten by Calzaghe is a better win than Manny Pacquaio at the point of his career Morales beat him.

    20 years. Ther 90's weren't as good to Tyson as you'd like to think. Prison stint? Losses to Holyfield? SMH for you being a fanboy. Tyson was a monster in the 80s, not so much the 90s.

    The Kessler win isn't as big as Barrera's win over Hamed or Morales's win over Barrera.

    It's as big in my view and has the ability to become bigger based on what Kessler achieves after the fact of the loss.

    You've also got to factor in the losses Barrera and Morales had.

    Bernard Hopkins

    Floyd Mayweather

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Erik Morales

    Its hard to say when limiting it to just 20 years. Takes some edge off some resumes and theres guys that cross over like Chavez, Holyfield etc.
