Oscar De La Hoya....
And he will continue to be the top's in the sport long after he or the other guy's on the list hang up the gloves, because of Golden Boy Promotions.

 

I love Oscar, but it has to be Calzaghe. You just can't ignore 20+ defenses and a 10 year champion reign with no losses. All of these fighters fought good comp, but only one remained undefeated. Oscar did have and will have the biggest impact on the sport, but in terms of of their actual ring accomplishments I have to give it to JC.

 

Using a points scoring system, its close between De La Hoya and Calzaghe, with Calzaghe just ahead.

Calzaghe 343.47 pts
De La Hoya 343.18 pts
Trinidad 288.88 pts
Moseley 256.00 pts
Wright 244.64 pts

DLh... then Tito right behind.

 

Precisely

 

1. De La Hoya
2. Trinidad
3. Calzaghe
4. Mosley
5. Wright

It seems clear to me.

 

Merely being undefeated doesn't mean you're greater. Otherwise, Marciano would be greater than Ali and Louis, Ricardo Lopez would be greater than guys like Hearns and Hagler. Hell, Aaron Pryor lost once and never in his prime, is he greater than Ray Leonard? No.

DLH fought much better opposition. More importantly, he has more quality wins in his career than Calzaghe.

These results are a slap in the face to Shane Mosley, the man with easily the best resume and greaterst legacy of this bunch.

I do agree that Oscar beats out Calzaghe, however.
