    Yes, they are, I just told you why. You as ever have no arguments.

    Why don't you tell us all about Michael Jennings' achievements and which wins of his have impressed you most?

    Calzaghe is an undefeated, undisputed champion, Cotto has never unified a division and he has been beaten... stopped. Calzaghe fights like NO other fighter in his generation and NOBODY has been able to beat him. Cotto is an awesome fighter and has beaten some great competitors but when a fighter isn't having the best night and wins, that proves their greatness. Calzaghe WINS...Gets knocked down in the first (X2) and wins...Broken hand and wins...trouble making weight and wins!!!

    Nobody can have a flawless career, there will always be criticism. Even with Floyd, people still say 'he should have fought Cotto or Margarito, He ducked X,Y or Z.' Mosley is ducking him NOW.

    In Calzaghe's case... people say he slaps, or that he fought B-Hop and Jones too late. Forgetting that Calzaghe wanted to fight them years ago and even had an agreement to fight Hopkins(which Hopkins dropped out on) and had to fly to Vegas and pick a fight with him to get him in the ring.

    CALZAGHE....don't know how you can argue otherwise.

    I'm a huge cotto supporter but I'd have to give calz the nod on this one its not a huge edge but signifigant enough. Then again I'm sure by years end cotto will surpass calz resume...I can't knock those that pick cotto though when truly breaking down who has fought the more dangerous and "prime" comp cotto wins hands down in terms of resume.

    Calzaghe only became a credible champion 3 years ago....thats why he got the fights with Hopkins Jones late on.

    No one cared about the WBO belt and Joe. Jones would have kicked his ass and got no credit for it. He lacked credibility.

    If Joe really wanted to fight those guys early on he would have gone over the pond and forced a fight, fighting on HBO. No one cared about Joe then...thats his fault.

    No one cared, is true. The BIG Americans are happy to sit in THEIR country. Why should they be like any other fighter and take any risks!!! If Jones had fought Calzaghe earlier, he would have lost earlier!!!!!! same as Hopkins!!! Both those 'legends' have been beaten numerous times, there was only a two year difference between Jones and Joe. Hopkins was not too old, as evident against Pavlik ( HBO poll in america said that Kelly would beat Joe...PLEASE) Why did Hopkins pull out of the fight that was previously agreed, you can't tell me he wouldn't have taken the larger pot to stop calzaghe's 10 year reign!!

    But WHY is cotto better????
