    I admit I used to have a lot against Calzaghe in the past but don't have anything against him anymore.

    So what if he had two losses?, many other great fighters ran into the same thing. Tyson had two losses to Holy and is considered great, Holyfield had two losses to Bowe and is considered great, I can give you examples all day.

    Whether you want to downgrade the Tarver win just proves your poor information regarding the sport and what was going on back then, Tarver was P4P back then and a HEAVY favorite over Hopkins, Pavlik was a heavy favorite over Hopkins, Trinidad was a heavy favorite over Hopkins, Wright was a favorite over Hopkins. Of course since he beat them it means nothing, huh?

Who would be the better actor ? a guy acting in Shakespeare plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre,very talented but relatively unknown except by the people who visit the Theatre,OR, Arnold Swartznegger, Hollywood Star and Commanding Big Bucks ?

    No-one who considers resume something of crucial importance in boxing could possibly vote for the cherrypicking zero-protector known as Joe C, therefore a vote for him is a vote for ignorance.

    Jackson blown away by Jorge Castro, Glen Johnson beaten by Clinton Woods, Tito Trinidad stopped by Hopkins, William Joppy was one of the worst middleweight champions of all time. Keith Holmes lol.

    You think Roy Jones could move up now and beat Adamek for the cruiserweight title though. You can't laugh at anyone! :patsch

    I haven't answered your question, because your question is inferior.

    And it isn't my job to educate you in matters of boxing.

    Why would be excluding Hopkins' resume at Light-Heavyweight? :huh

    You can't just selectively pick and choose the parts of a resume which give credence to the poorly thought out argument you are trying to make.

    Why not exclude the years 1997, 2006-2008 from Calzaghe's resume, if you want to go down that path... :nut

    I believe Scar provided you with a full resume comparison earlier in the thread. If the names on that resume mean nothing to you, then you really are as clueless as you seem.
