    In terms of accomplishment

    Hopkins
    Jones
    Calzaghe

    H2H

    Jones
    Hopkins
    Calzaghe

    Hopkins easily has the best resume in my eyes, and Jones is one of the most dangerous h2h fighters in the sport's history. Calzaghe was a very talented fighter, but he was reluctant to test himself, and his ranking suffers because of that.

    in terms of their primes?

    prime roy was clowning atgs like Hopkins and toney.

    prime Hopkins was doing less so but still beating hofers.

    prime calzaghe at 34 was...making his only defence of one of the big three titles against for the first time a good opponent, what roy was doing when he was green a decade younger than joe did it. and joe did it once alone. hops and jones did it many times.


    hmmm.. tough call... to try to work out why joe has even been mentioned in the runnings, that is.

    46 and 0 (32 slap ko's) No loses. No draws (controversially tbh) Refs on the pay roll.
    Joe in his 20'th fight beat a tesco trolly collector :yep
    Man, Joe was almost as bad as they cheating ped using/hiding yanks. At least Calz never peded up like Toney, Jones and maybe Bernard. Joe's dad was far to psychotically old school to let his son drink milk shakes :deal

    Joe gets credit from me for being an H2H nightmare. He was awkward, fast, and had immense stamina an a good chin, recovery levels. Those in and out cluster slappey short shots must be ****ed up to fight against. In reality Joe is not great but H2H he's a beast, especially if he brings his refs :lol:
