    Vargas, Mayo, Margo and had it not been for the ref, I think he could have gotten Cotto too.

    Who has he beat that was credible other than DLH?

    He's an elite fighter, don't get me wrong but he's not all that.

    He didn't do good against his best opposition.

    His most impressive wins are against Margarito, DLH, Mayorga, and Collazo

    Other than that he hasn't really done anything spectacular.

    Hopkins had 20 title defense
    Mayweather's undefeated
    Calzaghe is undefeated and had 20 title defenses
    DLH fought just about everyone under the sun
    Tito had an incredible undefeated streak

    Vargas was done after Tito and DLH
    Mayorga is just a measuring stick and he was coming off a knockout loss to DLH and Tito
    Margarito was a product of media hype
    and Collazo just isn't an elite fighter _ he's taken the role of measuring stick as well.

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought the WBC recognized the WBO as a legitimate sanctioning body when they agreed to Eubank-Benn II being a unification bout rather than insisting on Eubank giving up the belt (which he refused to,) and it gained legitimacy from there.

    Ity probably is still the weakest of the belts but the WBA have been a joke as well recently with their super champ malarky, and the IBF are way too quick to strip champs for not taking BS mandatories; the WBC are always accused of being too close with Don King. None of the belts are really what they should be.

    So from the result so far...

    dont you think that its a coincidence that Calzaghes record is the best because he didnt face the big challenges the others did?

    I would also have to say calzaghe-even though I'm a fan

    However about beating otke leftovers he fought who he had to. And e fougt robin Reid before otke didn't he? Man the otke Reid fight was a disgrace
