    Man, why can people never just express different opinions on this board? It always comes down to denigrating someone else's character if they disagree. Anyway, RJJ I think was definitely the best p4p of SMWs, but as CHJoe said, JC has done more in the division. I mean who did Roy really fight at 168? Toney and... Pazienza? P4Per=Roy, done more at 168=JC.

    Calzaghe is the greatest SMW ever on accomplishment. Jones is better h2h and p4p.

    Agreed, but that was one of only like 6 or 7 fights at SMW for RJJ. I don't think that JC is really fighting stellar opponents all the time, but 20 title defenses is 20 title defenses, right? Maybe you guys disagree, but I think that's pretty impressive whomever you're fighting.

    Jones had 12 fights at 168. He only had 5-6 championship ones.

    Even today I suspect Calzaghe would struggle to KO Jones, so back when Jones was at his best there's no way that would happen. Prime Jones has better EVERYTHING than Calzaghe, how the **** can you win a fight where you have no advantages???

    Oh sorry, Joe slaps harder than Roy - I forgot :nut

    I don't think he could beat Wlad at heavyweight, though even I might be wrong about something one day?

    robin reid ,mark deleney,chris eubank,evens ashira,charles brewer,byron motchel....he fought 8 world champions all but 4 not having a area belt on the resume.



    so what if some never go past certain places in boxing he fought pro boxers who were there to fight not for a pay cheque
