    Nah, I just thought that hit the nail right on.

    I can respect people having Trinidad higher, but no way is it that much and the poll is unrepresentative. It suggests there is some huge daylight between them.

    Terrible point
    Hopkins was a far better win than a well past his prime camacho.Blocker was further past it than eubank having just been knocked out in 2 rounds by terry norris and Kessler is far superior to Oba carr p4p.Campas and Lacy were about equal I agree on that.

    I voted for the guy that fought good fighters in his prime.

    And the answer is the same even when Joe knocks out/dominates the ghost of Roy Jones Junior.

    And if you add who tito took a chance at fighting: Winky, Hopkins, Jones... See how much more greater he is the Joe C.

    Trinidad without a question. He defended his IBF title about 18 times, beat several hall of famers in their PRIME and he is also a 3 division world champion. Calzaghe is decent, but out of those 21 people that he defended his WBO title against, which were in their prime and pound for pound one of the best fighters in the world?

    He beat one HOFer in his prime, DLH, by controversial decision.

    Vargas and Campas probably won't get in the HOF.
