    What about the 32-0 Glenn Johnson?

    The underrated Keith Holmes to unify?

    Prime Echols, when he was a beast?

    John David Jackson, Eastman, Wright, Tito?

    Don't let that Calzaghe fight get into your mind so much mate.

    Sure you disagree with those that argue B-Hop won that fight, but this doesn't mean ol' Bernard doesn't have quality wins in his resume.

    John David Jackson - not even going to respond to that.Johnson was strong but not great technically. Eastman - good fighter but lazy.Llold Honeyghan correctly said of him that he had the ability to beat Hopkins but no the know how. Wright and Trinidad - both naturally smaller men,same with ODLH. So when you strip that all away really only the Tarver win could be considered impressive.

    i do see his point here, he's obviously responding to the seemingly never ending **** calzaghe gets on here for his opponents.
    but 2 wrongs dont make a right ,and hopkins has obviously been a fine champion ( as has joe calzaghe ).

    His title reign was not littered with legends. Funny thing is people on here rag the WBO but where were the IBF/WBC/WBA digging up some of these non entities to fight Hopkins??

    No disrespect to Holmes but he was a decent fighter not a great one.
