    Tarver was never really that good. His loss to Johnson showed that, as Johnson is a good solid guy, but someone any A level guy should beat. He's a measuring stick kind of guy, and it proved Tarvers level.

    Besides, he's old, so is Jones. We knew Tarvers reign would be short to begin with.

    Yes. I have a little more energy and time on my hands at the moment.

    In any event...I would take your opinion on Calzaghe's "media attention" with a few hunks of salt. They're trying to "sell" him here on HBO and ESPN from time to time, and I'm sure the Lacy fight contributed a great deal to his popularity in the U.K. Your claims that the media is anti-Calzaghe strike me as similar those who complain about a "leftist" media--driven by your own views rather than objective.

    Nobody has outclassed him since peak Jones.

    I personally will take what comes over what might be.

    But there is no reason for him to have p4p status before then. Wright beat world champion fighters as did Taylor. You're comparison isn't valid.

    You are trying to arbitrarily promote Calzaghe to P4P status before 2000....but based on what? And Taylor BTW, was dropped from most P4P lists before he lost to Pavlik, even further disproving your theory.

    To be pound for pound #1, you have to defeat other pound for pound fighters. It's that simple, really.

    He probably wouldn't be undefeated... and it has nothing to do with being American, it is about taking big fights.

    The truth is that Joe never left home, and his refusal to leave home will always be his downfall. He never held a major title until Lacy, and he wasn't going to get the big name titleists to travel there to fight him, because they shouldn't have to and they don't need too.

    Until Lacy, he never had champs coming to him, and Lacy only went because he wasn't big enough to call out Lacy to have to come to him, which of course Joe never would have came. Because that's his MO.

    It isn't anti-Calzaghe, just an overload on Hatton.
