    Your guilty of heavily under rating Calzaghe then. I don't agree with you about hop and Wright, but those fights are debatable. But jones IMO is not even questionable. He got outworked and KTFO by Johnson. Roy would lay on the ropes and get pounded at this stage of his career.

    how am i underrating calzaghe?? he might make my p4p top 10, certainly top 15, and again, im not saying he is a **** fighter, but i think he gets more credit than he deserves. since he beat lacy--and he whupped lacy--he has been made out by some to be the greatest force in boxing since sugar ray leonard, and im just saying that considering his opposition and what ive seen of him, i disagree with that.

    jones is the most debatable, i will admit that, and i will go so far as to say that it could go either way with blowout potential on both sides, but to say calzaghe annihilates winky is absurd; nobody annihilates winky wright--hypus britannicus anyone?

    Agreed. Pavlik is over rated IMO.

    I guess Pavlik is a big questionmark. I still think Taylor is the favorite but he needs to find his old game again.

    Miranda was the most overrated boxer in a long time. Maybe he has power but thats all.

    Nobody has annihilated Winky ever, why the hell do you think Joe could do what nobody else could.

    Could he lose the fight? Sure. But nobody is going to annihilate Winky Wright.

    I think Calzaghe is too big for him though, and that poses problems, but Winky would not get embarrassed at all.

    Mikkel Kessler is 39-0, a unified champion, and has lost maybe a handful of rounds in his career and people are saying he's overrated?

    Joe Calzaghe hasn't lost a fight since 1990 and he's overrated to some people? I'm speechless.

    What else do these 2 future opponents have to do?

    The Vasquez fight mate.

    Calzaghe would be worse, Winky has absolutely no way of winning or defending himself against Calzaghe. You can't simply cover up and block Calzaghe's slaps, you need power to defend yourself against him.
