    I'm gonna say joe. He completely unified the division then stepped up and beat one of the best lightheavyweights in the world.

    Joe had the potential to achieve much more in his career but I think he does edge ricardo

    Yeah, I'm a huge Joe Calzaghe fan. I regularly touch myself whilst watching him throw flurries of slaps to grind down over-matched opponents. That's how I roll!

    :lol: You're a fully paid up member of Team Elite, a Calzaghe fanatic, and a Welsh fanboy. I actually think you might be Arsebanger's alt account.

    I managed to get hold of the full version of your original post, which you later edited:

    Calzaghe doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves. I'm a huge Lopez fan and I would like to rank him above Calzaghe but unfortanately his quality of opponents doesn't rank higher than the opponents Calzaghe has faced. Lopez is clearly the more skilled boxer and is perhaps the most well-rounded fighter I've seen (next to Sugar Ray Robinson), but that's basically all he has over Calzaghe.
    Lopez, to me, will always be a big question mark on whether he would have been able to beat opponents higher than 105. It's easy to look flawless against lesser opponents with all the skill levels he has. I've always wanted to see how that skills can be used against higher quality opponents in lightweight or welterweight. But we'll never know. Juan Manuel Marquez is the closest thing we can get of a Finito Lopez in a higher weight division.
