    Hoya im with you, comparing Calzaghe to Jones makes me laugh hysterically .. I find it amazinhe aig that people forget how good Jones was in the 90's .. If you watch Jones in his 90's prime, your watching poetry in motion, he aint Leonard but with Floyd, he's easy the best of the last 25 years .. Calzaghe is a great fighter but in no way does he compare to Roy ....

    Of course it is. A widely held one, but an opinion nevertheless. You'd probably come across as less of a twat if you didn't so often announce your opinions as facts, just by way of observation.

    Jones is 23rd in my ATG list.

    Calzaghe doesn't make the top 100, and I'm a fan who went down to Wales and cheered Joe like mad in the Kessler fight.

    But let's be serious.

    Same as Fleaman.

    Jones, top 30, Calzaghe, somewhere between 95 and 115. He may have crept into my 100 now, but he'll never break 90.

    Roy in his prime, was the best i've ever seen in my lifetime. And HONESTLY in my top 8 of all time (if not 5). I dont care how many times he goes on about it, what he achieved is something that i dont think will ever happen again, regardless of the shape of the heaviweight division.

    Losg thats a great post .. Dont ever let the idiots on here sway your opinions .. Morons like Cobbler and TFFP will try and intimidate you because they have thousands of posts but between you and me, they know nothing and are full of ****, i laugh at most of they're posts because of they're ignorance .... Losg you post what you think, never let your opinion be swayed by the bums on here .. Take it easy mate

    Calzaghe said after the Mitchell fight he wanted Bernard Hopkins....

    I dont think people realise how hard it is to make fights.

    I also completely believe that JC beat a better version of Hopkins than Jones did.
