    In retrospect we can see that Hopkins is a better fighter.

    Jones badly beat both them. But since Hopkins is the better fighter shouldn't that make it a better win?

    Roy was sensational vs. Hall too, a guy that gave DM plenty of trouble.

    What if Roy moved down to CW after beating Ruiz, and fought for a title there?

    He'd probably have been criticised.

    At the time they fought James was heads and shoulder's more dominate than Bernard. It was a far better win.

    It would have been a very hard fight. Very cagey I think, with not much action.

    And if he'd have won, I don't think he'd have gotten much credit. And he'd have been pressured into fighting other HW's, which if he hadn't have done, would have resulted in him getting a huge amount of criticism.

    Roy spent large parts of his career being in a no win situation.

    No wonder you thought Lacy would beat Calzaghe.

    You clearly have little clue what a schooling is.

    You my son, have been Lacyied™ by every 'Zaggers fan on the forum in brutal and embarrassing fashion.

    Was he more shot than Calzaghe or more so, without the 'roids was he never as good to begin with.

    erm nope.

    Every thread that is about Super MIddles, British greats, ATG, Calzaghe, Calzaghe opponent or anyone metioned as a 'Zaggers opponent an absolute guarantee that you will be there to hate on him through your butt hurt teeth.
