    1. Calzaghe (or as someone from another board called him... C-Honda)
    2. B-Hop
    3. Dawson
    4. Tarver
    5. Johnson
    6. Jones
    7. Erdei
    8. Woods
    9. Diaconu
    10. Byrd

    ((i really cant think of any other LHW that are out... Danny Green retired... dunno much about Garay.... I put Erdei where he is because since gaining the title from Gonzales, and maybe one fight into his reign, he hasn't stepped up the level of opposition... George Blades~?? Danny Santiago~?? Could Stipe Drews be #10~??))

    what is RJJ doing in the top 5:rofl

    these are my rankings

    1. Tarver - he did more than calzaghe at LHW, got 2 belts(IBF and IBO), has won against every top guy at LHW except hopkins. Sure he lose to hopkins but that does not erase his past accomplishments at that weight and having 2 wins against former LHW king RJJ

    2. Calzaghe - He won against Hopkins for the lineal title, the man who beat tarver. Seriously, this was his only accomplishment at LHW and that wouldn't make him the top guy there.

    3. Dawson - won the WBC title against former undefeated champ Tomasz Adamek and a bit of controversial win against johnson.

    4. Hopkins - beat the man at LHW which is tarver, a win against wright who was a light middleweight and had no business moving up 3 divisions. His best win at LHW was against the man but that doesn't erase the fact that he didn't do enough at that weight but just beating tarver.

    5. Zsolt Erdei - beat former champ Julio Cesar Gonzales 4 years ago, has a good run as champ, and is undefeated.

    Remember people this is not a p4p ranking..this is LHW rankings so don't come here and talk about joe's accomplishments at 168, and hop's accomplisments at 160.:deal

    i agree with you about rjj not being in the top 5,but of course Joe C is no.1 at lhw,he beat the man who beat the man therefore he is the no.1 ranked heavyweight by any logic,simply because you feel that tarver beating clinton woods puts him at no.1 doesnt make him so.for example hypothetically if haye stepped up to hw and beat klit,would he be no.1,of course he would,peter would not be even if he went on to beat chagaev.

    joe calzaghe is the no.1 lhw,no way around it.

    Don't worry about it; it was just a couple of comments that other posters made in your thread that I took issue with, but all that is in the past.:rasta

    not only clinton woods, you failed to mention he had more important wins at LHW. RJJ twice, glen johnson, reggie johnson, and montell griffin. Add that to his victory over clinton woods and its clear he had done more **** at LHW.

    HW is not comparable, haye would be no.1 automatically if he beats klitscho because nobody has ever done **** at that weight except for klitscho.
