    McCallum by miles; Kalule, Jackson, McCrory, Curry, Kalambay, Toney (I thought he won the 2nd), Graham, Collins & Harding

    McCallum, no doubt, people tend to get overzealous about numbers rather than the names and ages attached to them, I'd like to hear a good case for Calzaghe's being more impressive.

    McCallum beat true primed talent like Curry and Watson, McCrory, the most devastating puncher ever in Jackson, the toughest men in boxing Collins and Harding, Kalule, the trickiest fighter in boxing Graham, and bettered the best defensive counter-punchers I've ever seen over two fights in Kalambay and Toney.

    Calzaghe fought nobody near their best who was particularly good. Kessler was very average in my opinion.

    They are world's apart.

    There is no argument here.The Body Snatcher has one of the best resumes of the modern era.I'll be interested to see an argument for Joe because there isn't one.

    Seriously, anyone even saying this is close needs to just **** off and die in a ditch somewhere. McCallum by light years.

    Close and great fights but I had Toney winning both but I would not argue with anyone who saw it the other way
