    Jumping to conclusions are we Bailey? Your surely just ******ed in general. This was completely based on opposition faced aka a prime Jones not a shot one the same shot one that Calzaghe beat. Also I had Hopkins by one point, but your probably swayed quite easily on the old scorecards by the HBO commentary and your bias for Joe

    I cant see any logical argument of Calzaghe having bigger wins on his resume than Roy Jones...

    Hopkins is the only argument for Calzaghe, however the one Roy defeated, although a little green, was slightly better than the one Joe fought. Kessler was a great win but the Toney win puts Jones on another level, aswell as the
    Ruiz win being incredibly underrated

    He is very educated.. but most of the posts he makes has to do with Eubank.. After that complete garbage post he made on all of Roy's career, makes me feel that he is jealous of Roy, he knows Eubank will never be even half the legend of Roy Jones...

    Calzaghe and Jones were no Kalambay or McCallum

    Peak Reggie Johnson > Taylor, Dawson

    :rofl, so Roy Jones at middleweight in his prime is not as good as Kalambay or McCallum? get out of here. Especially considering Collins faced them at 36 and 34, respectively out of their primes. Jones was prime while Joe C was probably slightly past it at this stage

    Johnson > Taylor no doubt. Dawson not so sure. Johnson is known for losing to the best opponents he's faced, so far Dawson hasn't.

    McCallum had just turned 33 and Kalambay had just turned 36.

    Hopkins is 47. Calzaghe was 36 when he beat Hopkins, Kessler, Jones etc.

    Literally we are not on the same wave length right now :lol:

    I'm talking about B-Hop's opposition. Calzaghe may have been 36, however I feel he was close to his best, Whereas McCallum was past it by this point. He was still good enough to compete with top opposition but not in his prime.

    When B-Hop fought Jones the first time is about the best level of opposition faced between either of these resumes accept maybe the RJJ that Toney faced. Therefore I rate B-Hop's opposition above Collins' which was our original argument yes?

    Indeed, a small LHW dominating a top 5 heavyweight is a quality win, however you shake it.

    Wtf are you talking about??? He destroyed the guy you have on the top of that list , and comfortably beat the guy you have 3rd.. But yet he ducked the best? Makes no sense.
