HOW MANY "CURRENT/FORMER" Champs did B -HOP JONES CALZAGHE beat?

Depends how you look it

for instance for hopkins tito coming up in weight, odh never was a middle and got owned by sturm only to be given a gift going prior fight to hopkins and pavlik came up 10 pounds. Also winky was not the current middle champ when bhop beat him plus he was moving up in weight as well, i think bhop likes to be the bigger man.

He also lost to calzaghe, and calzaghe moved up to beat him :think quite astounding i agree

 

when calzaghe beat hopkins , hopkins was a former champ and not a champ of any belt that i am aware of at light heavy.

i do not remember winky wright ever winning a middleweight belt.

light middle champ for sure , but i do not think he has ever been anything but a 1 division champ.

and the only belt mercado ever held was the one he used to hold up his trousers.

 

Wow bud i can see this is a calzaghe hate thread and its a bit of a fail because joe beat both f them and beat hops before hops win against pavlik.

anyway as you brought it up haggler-hearns was the middleweight champ vs the light midlleweight champ hearns hadn't been a welterweight for 4 years and 8 fights so that again is a fail considering hearns went onto become middle weight, super middleweight and also minor cruiserweight titles.

add on the fact he was 6'1 he was never a blown up welterweight when he fought haggler :rofl

I suppose paul williams is a blown up welter weight :think or is he a middle who can boil himself down to welter :deal

I dont see a big difference between BHOP and Calzaghes ex/current world champ victories. I think people get blinded by the name of Tito and Hoya but these guys were smaller and had a significant size disadvantage.

 

Same with the winky fight :deal

 

Agreed. Plus the fact people go on about age when they fought when the fact is Calzaghe was old and not at his best either, its a good victory looking at the fight after and what he done to Pavlik!

 

Yeah but look more deeply into them. Guys like Mike McCallum were finished and he was way above his best weight when Jones beat him, Hopkins was very green at this point.

And for Hopkins, Winky came up from 154/160 to 170/175, Pavlik came up from 160 to 170. Trinidad came up from 154 only recently prior to taking on B-Hop, and is a natural 147. De La Hoya was a natural 147/154 at this point, and lost to Felix Sturm at 160 prior to taking on Hopkins.

 

Lame

If you are comparing resumes, you can not just pick certain fights to look at, you need to look at them all, you cant ignore a fight just because a boxer losses.

Roy Jones beat 16 champs and suffered 5 losses, i will give him a score of 11 points
B-Hop beat 9 champs and suffered 5 losses and a draw, i will give him 3 1/2 points
Calzaghe beat 8 champs and suffered 0 losses, i will give him 8 points

Ranking on resume -
1] Jones 11 points
2] Calzaghe 8 points
3] B-Hop only three and a half points

The last time i did an ATG list,i had Roy Jones at #33, Calzaghe at 53# and B-Hop at #54



If we are talking head to head comparisons

Calzaghe beat Hopkins {fact not fiction}
Calzaghe beat Roy Jones {fact not fiction}

League Table

1] Calzaghe played 2 won 2 lost 0
2] Roy Jones played 2 won 1 lost 1
3] B-Hop played 2 won 0 lost 2

If the age of the boxers was a problem, prime v prime i predict =

Calzaghe beats B-Hop
Roy Jones beats B-Hop
Calzaghe draws Roy Jones*

*Although Calzaghe recently beat Jones in the US, i will give Jones the edge with home advantage prime v prime, if the bout was in Wales i would give Calzaghe the edge, considering Jones has never fought outside his home country as a pro .
