    Rank these fab 4 in two ways: Head to Head in their primes and then Alltime base on resume.

    Calzaghe would get crushed by anyone on that list at their prime.

    Side notes - Things take a dramatic change if a proposed Adamek - Hopkins fight comes off. Maybe one fight doesnt change all that much for people but damn, if old man popkins takes another legit champion down especially at that weight.

    Prime for Prime - i think the only one Calzaghe beats is Toney. Roy would have done more than graze Calzaghes chin at 28 years old. The knock down in their "old men of yesteryear" fight showed me enough to suggest that Calzaghe gets beat early and often by a prime Roy. Oddly enough i think B hOps wins 6 out of 10 against Joe. The right judges say "ooooh i like that peice of ring craft" the wrong judges say " man look at the welsh boy throw those hands".

    Honestly this list is way too hard to rank.
    I felt that Toney in his fight with Roy was out of shape. But in terms of skill I think Toney tops Jones, although Jones had way more speed.
    In regards to Hopkins, I thought he was outclassed by Jones in their fight. Not meaning that Hopkins wasn't in that fight by any means, its just Roy was a little too fast. But Jones was also reckless cause he was so dam fast, and he got rocked by Hopkins a couple times.
    Nevertheless Joe's a fourth by a long shot.
