I never said Ring champion, JUST champion which no matter what you say that is a better comparison. Hopkins was champ a division above Joe and DLH was champ a division above Floyd Rather it was ring or not this is true. Also to put the icing on the cake both were split decisions. Jones is one of my ATF BUT he was waaaaay past his prime, but Marquez wasn't as much.
OK. At least your not a blind nuthugger who going to think JOe is the greatest boxer ever regardless of what anyone says.:good
We may argue that Trinidad is another ATG while Mayorga is mediocre and Trinidad beat Mayorga so Jones win over Trinidad is better than DLH's over Mayorga. Other way we may argue that Trinidad 2 divisions over his career high is the same as Marquez 2 divisions over his career high. But I will be generous here, I will say that Floyd beating DLH is higher than Calzaghe beating Jones but Floyd beating Marguez is clearly blow Calzaghe beating Hopkins so in the summary Calzaghe beating Hopkins and Jones looks at least the same or even better than Floyd beating DLH and cheating Marquez.
Who is Calzaghe again, where does he come from? Germany or it ukraine? wait a minute, I now get. Had to dig deep to remember him.
U say JC beating Kessler is equal to Floyd beating Hatton, this kills that idea Floyd KO'd Hatton. Joe didn't fo that with Kessler. Same for the Gatti-Lacy comparison. And Eubank-Corrales
But he won the Friday night contest which is technically at the similar level of beating the man who won the chicken dance contest
I know its hard to know who is Joe Calzaghe if you have only the cheapest Comcast bundle, but I think that the 60.000 Brits who came life to Calzaghe's fights my give you some light in the subject.
No, Floyd is definitely better because his undefeated record was generated in the U.S., not Europe :deal
Joe beat two of his ATG at US sole. You mean that Floyd never fought outside US, outside his home, and he fought his whole life only in front of friendly judges :huh ..... that not good, not good at all :-( Whats wrong with Floyd, is he afraid of flying?
