    Not a bad spread, SJS. I'll need to give it some thought, but I think I'd have it mostly the same with the only ambiguity being the possible outcomes with Hearns. Hearns was not the same monster at 168 as his lower weights as you said, this is true. I can see him winning over Calzaghe, though.

    He doesn't beat any of those fighters in their prime. Duran would be very small for him though so I'll put that one up as a pick em.

    considering the fact that he never faced anyone with a decent combination of power, speed, and actual BOXING skills such as lateral movement, he loses to everyone on that list. Unless he has a British ref who will stop the fight after he lands 3 arm punches.

    If i can stop hating for a minute (though the above statement is absolutely true), it sucks the stupidity of his fans cripple his legacy. He was a good fighter with great matchmaking, good stamina, and a couple of lucky decisions. the fact that had he lost to Hopkins or Reid his legacy would be absolutely meaningless is evidence of how fragile it is.

    Hearns was not a great fighter at 168.

    Calzaghe vs

    Thomas Hearns : Calzaghe lose this one
    SRL: Timber! SRL way to fast and tricky
    Hagler: No no no. Godnight mr Calzaghe
    James Toney: Calzaghe wins this one
    RJJ: In RJJ prime? Roy Jones dominates him and puts him away in 6 rounds
    Hopkins: Close one, think Calzaghe wins
    Duran: Calzaghe SD
    Bute: Calzaghe wins
    Ward: Calzaghe wins

    In my opinion:)
