    I saw RJJ on the list, but is he really a master boxer? Sure , he was almost unhumanly quick of hand, foot and eye. But as far as boxing skill, he did a lot of things wrong, hands down, head up in the air, getting away with it because he was so quick. When he slowed down a hundreth of a second , he had no way to get out of the way of Tarver or Johnson, no ATG's those guys. In contrast, you've got Hopkins still befuddling people with his mastery of boxing at the age of 42. Thats a master boxer IMHO, not a slowed down ex-speedster like Jones.

    1. Calzaghe by a mile.
    2.

    Anyway back onto Calzaghe. He is actually more skilled than Hopkins, which is impressive considering Hopkins great success with so little physical talent.

    have we forgotten the incomparable Ricardo Lopez? C'mon guys!!!

    Mine:

    Mayweather
    Lopez
    Whitaker
    Toney
    Hopkins
    Lewis
    Calzaghe


    No ODLH-lost too many close fights to be considerd a great boxer to me, no RJJ the man was not that technicaly proficient, just had other worldly reflexes and knockout power in both hands.
