    Hopkin's and Calzaghe never defended their titles, Chad was on his way but lost to Pascal. Tarver wasn't all that good. Roy's really the only pick.

    I don't disagree with you man... but I think RJJ was just lightyears above everyone else in talent... i.e. this thread seems to be pointless but thats just my opinion.. i feel rjj will get most of the votes

    Holy ****! For once, just once, get off Calzaghes dick. You hit puberty or something ?

    But yea, Jones was the last dominant champ. Tarver destroyed him but he lost to Johnson and then Hopkins came along and he never really defended it a light heavy. Dawson was the guy to beat but lost to Pascal (BS stoppage, just horrible. You should never stop a fight in the eleventh round of a world championship fight like that.) and Pascal lost to Hopkins and now the rematch.

    I wont argue with anyone that has jones up, best choice perhaps, I just wanted to give hopkins a little credit since he keeps amazing people with his performances, but talentwise jones for sure.
