    Calzaghe beat Chris Eubank before the others (apart from Jones) did anything! And beat Bernard Hopkins, still at his best, fairly and squarely. That alone makes him modern king.

    Of those on the poll:

    1. Mayweather
    2. Pacquiao
    3. Hopkins
    4. Jones
    5. Calzaghe
    6. Wladimir

    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam likely slots in between Jones and Calzaghe. Which is funny because most people will think I'm trolling but if you followed Flyweight and know anything about his opponents and what he did, you'd probably agree when it came down to debating with yourself what you value in a resume.

    Joe Calzaghe and Wladimir Klitschko have no business in this discussion.

    There's a reason this era is called the Klitschko era.

    People really need to stop equating Pac and Mayweathers' wins over Cotto.

    Pac beat a Cotto who weighed in at 145

    Mayweather beat a Cotto who weighed in at 154

    two different fighters.
