    Very good reply !

    That's why I prefer to give credit to guys like DLH, even with more losses in his prime. Fought everyone (yes, not Winky and Forrest, but at least he was fighting guys as dangerous as or more in Vargas and Hopkins at the time).

    By the way, IMO Calzaghe waited too much to fight the top competition: Lacy - unbeaten, favorite coming to the fight, the new Mike Tyson
    Kessler - WBC and WBA unified champ, unbeaten
    Hopkins - Ring Champ, with a lot left as we saw him later versus Pavlik and Pascal

    Yep, espcially DM. You people who are making too much fuss out of this are just gay. if you have actually see this guy fight, you would realise he's got no chance in hell against a prime Jones.

    Jones also fought and soundly beaten prime Hopkins and prime Toney. That alone is more than most great fighters ever accomplished.

    RJJ is an embarassment.... he did nothing but act like a clown... playing basketball games before fights and promoting that... getting knocked out so brutally multiple times. Thank god for Tarver.

    Jones completely dominated two ATG's in Toney and Hopkins. Not many fighters ever fight two ATG's without anybody thinking a rematch would be necessary to find out who the better fighter was. I certainly believe Roy was a diva and making fights with him was difficult. I was a fan of Michalczewski, but those who say he ducked DM: Look at their common opponents, Hill, Hall, Griffin. Roy toyed with Hall, who gave DM a mega - tough fight early, knocked out Hill with one shot, tore through Griffin in one round. Very few LHW's ever would have beaten three such evry different opponents so easily.

    Sure, Ruiz was no Lennox Lewis, but good enough to go 1 - 1 - 1 against Holyfield and put him on his ass. It was a great win in the same way Duran's win over Barkley was great.

    Jones was amazing & would have beat all those guys which only makes it more annoying that he didn't. And the 'roid thing
