    It all depends on how you weigh these things. Probably the best way to word it is something like - Calzaghe is the greatest SMW in the divisions short history, Jones is the greatest fighter ever to fight at the weight of SMW.

    Joe won that...But I can be as dumb as your statement...How's this?......Watch frazier against Foreman, and tell me Joes' an ATG....Watch Foreman VS Ali, and tell me Foreman is an ATG..
    Watch Shavers vs Quarry, and tell me shavers aint a bum, and Ali couldn't KO Shavers as well as Quarry did, so tell me Ali's an ATG when he had damn hard times against a bum that Quarry KO'd in 1....Need I coninue to be as dumb as what claim you made here??...:rofl

    calzaghe is the best smw ever without doubt,jones only had what ... seven or so matches at smw,this by itself rules him out of it.calzaghes 44-0 record at smw gives him the accolade without doubt.

    Again another fight ruled out on the Little possible benefit rule.

    Jones vs Calzaghe, and that fight to the list of fights that should have been made column.

    :huh he never won a title


    anyways

    i find it really pissy when people add roy jones jr to lists to discredit other super middles or to rank him over other light heavies. becuase he was amazing at light heavy at super middlewieght he had his best win but he was at his peak at light heavy.

    it's like people who add hearns to the light middlewieghts just so he can be in the top 10.
