    No. becuase it's often labelled a very weak division with a relatively short history.

    I am shocked at how seriously people always take comments made by RJJ, Hopkins, etc.

    They know the game...both the boxing game and the business game.

    They'll say WHATEVER helps them out.

    If Roy thinks it's better to give Calzaghe credit, he'll do it. What I think RJJ wants is NO PRESSURE.

    If everyone expects Calzaghe to win, then RJJ can fight his fight and just try to enjoy himself. He can relax a bit. Much of his problem is mental, and this is just a way to help correct it.

    Well he's in a tough spot here isn't he :rofl He either has to pick Roy Jones to beat the guy that just beat him.....or pick a white boy to beat one of the slickest black boxers in the history of the sport :deal "Bernard Hopkins wasn't available to comment on the upcoming Jones/Calzaghe fight" :lol:

    Either way Jones' legacy will go through the roof if he wins.But I just can't see it.

    wait let me get this straight...you'll criticize Ali and SRR, but go on to say that Gayweather is an ATG??!! :huh

    you must be smokin some serious pineapple express :rasta

    he had a lot of talent and brought a lot of fame with his outside endeavors like WWE and Dancing With The Stars...but not facing the best opposition out there will put him in the ranks of ODLH, Calzaghe, RJJ, even Rocky Marciano...each having unique accomplishments, but lacking real credibility in their choice of opposition.

    SRR fought nearly 200 times...so you need to lay off that...and Ali was more than just an amazing and innovative boxer. he was an inspirational political hero/activist...which puts him in the Legendary status. alongside with SRR and J.Chavez

    You could make a case that either one of these two are the greatest SuperMiddleweight to ever lace up the gloves.

    so your saying ODLH did not fight the best opposition?? :nut :rofl :rofl

    he may of lost a few but he fought the best out there!

    and marciano can hardly be called a ducker, not in same league as mayweather who ducked everyone.....
