    Lies?

    you consider Joe the LHW champ, and not Roy... Even though Joe won Roy's belt... it doesnt make sense.

    Bailey is on a rampage! He's just destroyed 3-4 different posters in one thread

    @ Mind Reader, you can consider Calzaghe LHW champ because he beat the number 1 LHW in the world. Jones was just handed the Ring Magazine title without actually fighting the next best LHW and true champ DM

    I'm great thanks. I'm watching the opening ceremony too. Honestly mate don't worry about replying on the other thread if you're busy. Enjoy the weekend pal, there's no rush to reply.

    I honestly didn't think this thread would get to 5 pages. I've got to give Bailey credit, he'll have to contend with 4 or 5 posters continually firing back at him ha!

    Have a good weekend mate, I'll catch up with you soon.

    Regards, Loudon.

    Was Tarver not the #1 LHW in the World when Roy beat him?

    And If you are gonna consider Dariuz the "true" champ, then you cant call Calzaghe the Champ, he never beat Erdei.

    And when you say #1 LHW in the world, what rankings are you referring to?

    Hope you enjoyed it

    Thanks mate, I'll try and get back to you soon as, have a good weekend yourself.

    These debates are great, Bailey to be fair to him loves a challenge, an ESB legend.


    No, you're getting caught up in the lineage, that wasn't relevant to my post. I said Calzaghe beat the number 1 LHW on the planet (Hopkins), Jones didn't beat the next best LHW - Those are facts.

    Darius was champ because he beat Hill after Hill beat Maske. Then Jones established himself as the number 1 LHW when Darius aged and declined and started losing to the likes of Gonzalez. Jones was the champ when he beat Tarver, I agree with that, then he got stopped brutally in the rematch, and got beaten decisively in the rubber match of the trilogy, which proved that Tarver was the better man.

    I don't understand your final question, what is that in reference to?

    My final question, has do do with Hopkins being the #1 Lhw on the planet... Who ranked him, and who ranked Jones as #1 when DM declined?

    This also gets overlooked because Roy lost against Tarver in his next fight..

    How many fighters past and current can you name, that dropped down from HW, and beat the #1 LHW in their very next fight???

    History shows, that is hard to do, not many have success with that...

    In my book it is more impressive than Joe edging Hopkins, or anything DM has done at LHW.
