    Calzaghe beats Toney comfortably. Too fast, too adaptable and too good on his feet. Eubank would do well too.

    The others, yeah, James beats them.

    Toney lacks the feet to be a truly formidable H2H force

    Calzaghe probably beats them all with the Watson fight being the closest & the Benn fight the most exciting.

    Eubank - Benn (tied for me, i can't choose).

    I just can't put Joe on that kind of level.

    I just do not rate him at all for what he did in his career.
