    to put things into perspective.
    for any of you who think that calzaghe would take most of them need to remind yourselves which world class fighters has JC beaten in their prime.

    i guarantee you that britsh posters will be more liberal than the rest because, despite JC's excellent ability, he chose to live under warren's shadow and doesn't deserve to be compared to the likes of hopkins and toney in their prime because he never allowed himself to find out what he could really do.

    Roy is the only one who would be favored, but Joe would be a very live underdog.

    roy jones is the only one i can pick to beat JC
    Toney would be a very close fight and i think SD but JC getting it on volume and agression

    Jones, Toney, McCallum and Eubank would have beat him fairly easy. I think that Jones would have stopped him. The others would have been toss ups. G-man, and Benn may have knocked him out, if not Joe would have likely won Dec. The rest I think that Joe would have won.
