    Funny that a guy who was "never relevant" constantly has threads posted about him on a daily basis.

    I mean reallly someone can post this crap! From what I remember Robin Reid won their fight. This post disrespects so many great and good fighters its not a laughing matter. When it comes to talking about the best Calzaghe is not in the argument. I can probably name 50 guys without thinking to much about it.

    I agree its a stupid thread which was my earlier point. I can think of several versions of Roy Jones that would beat Calzaghe.

    Most people say Jones. But this guy moved up weight to avoid Joe, clearly he knew he would lose against Joe. Who can stop somebody throwing 100 punches a round?

    Quite right.

    Roy moved up to 175 late in 96, to avoid the 24 year old Joseph Calzaghe, after seeing what he'd done to Pat Lawlor and Warran Stowe.

    Then in 2003, Roy moved up to HW to avoid him for the second time, after seeing what he'd done to Tocker Pudwell.

    46-0, no blueprint.

    Joe was the GOAT. :good
