    and the fact that he did it as an underdog is huge. I have him a top 30 ATG, a great fighter.

    I hate that Trinidad is seen as a blown up welterweight :patsch He was already fighting at 154 years before even thinking of fighting at middleweight and was the #2 middleweight heading into the Hopkins bout.

    Hell, he might have been ranked #1 over Hopkins.:!:

    Ya but he himself went up in weight at a very old age and had some great wins there.

    Tbh Hopkins should have went up to 168-175 a lot sooner.

    Calzaghe is the greatest SMW of all times.

    It is a short division, he have dominated that division more then any other SMW. It is not a debate. It is rock hard thick fact.

    The lack of competition in the fights and methods of victory help make my decision.
