    They both have weak resumes at that weight so based on overall package, Vitali.

    Calzaghe has a better resume at 168 than RJJ, and Hatton has a better resume at 140lb than Floyd.

    Barrera, Hamed, and Marquez have a better resume at 126lb than Manny Pacquiao.

    ok i'm done arguing with you. I guess from your POV i would be hard pressed to pick between Hamed an Barrera but in the end I would go with MAB.

    ...Nope, because wins against prime Hamed and Morales are so much better than anything on Hamed's resume it isn't even funny.

    Hamed was a decent fighter, who needed to fight a brawler for his style to be effective. We could go on with this discussion for ever can't we just agree that Jeff M needs to get his head out of pac arse.

    One win doesn't define his career at 140.

    My personal view point and being british it wouyld have to be naz because he held every version of that belt and also he was at his explosive best.

    MAB's win over Morales at 126 is about as solid as Pac's draw against Marquez. That fight was close and could have gone either way. And to top it off Marquez is more accomplished at 126 than Morales is.

    So judging from your post I would say a destruction of a prime Barrera and a draw against a prime JMM are so much better than anything on Barrera's resume it isn't even funny.

    "the rules are the same for everyone"


    ok now i'm really done

    How can a draw be just as good as a win? It isnt like Pac came back and got a draw

    why is coming back and getting a draw any better then starting off quick and getting a draw? Do the rounds at the end of the fight count for more than the rounds at the beginning?

    I'm not a huge fan of Hatton or Pacquiao. I guess you have not talked to any *******s here!:lol:

    I just think Pacquiao will beat Hatton. Actually, I used to like Pacquiao a bit more but his *******ed fans are just too ridiculous at times.

    Asero, I am now awake and at work.

    The sleep hasn't made you any less of a ******.

    Tarver, Hopkins, Jones and Johnson all rank above Calzaghe in the LHW rankings.

    Hell, Zsolt Erdei might even!

    Calzaghe is still the no.1 SMW of this era
