    Winky Wright is "greater". He has the better wins.

    reid is easily one of joes best, top three opponents, only Kessler (when not injured) and perhaps old Hopkins were better.

    winks has the best wins, easily. no bare scraypes vs 40somethings on his cv as his career highlight.

    I thought the Calzghe-Reid fight could have gone either way.

    Reid was pretty good. Kessler and Hopkins were better.
    Who else is there ?
    Eubank, Bika, Lacy, Byron Mitchell ?

    Hopkins arguably could have won too, the fight I saw.
    Well, they both deserved to lose really.

    about to retire Byron Mitchell was no longer a force, though probably still had enough to beat joe and he was on the way to beating joe until joes ref stopped the fight for a slip. so maybe - sadly we will never know because of joes cheating.

    eubank when prime certainly, but not dropping 2 divisions in 20 days notice.

    bika - no, a limited but extremely tough guy. top five for joe though not top three, having only just come up from MW and won nothing.

    lacy - the definition of the puppet champ, not sure hes top three win for anyones resume (lacy would be in roy jones BOTTOM THREE titlist wins, for instance!)...but then again, given the paucity of the resume, perhaps he is for joes resume.

    Mario Veit is probably top 8 on Joe's resume !

    Tocker Pudwill might make the top 10. :lol:

    Mario is according to failey, one of joes great wins, so that likely means top five.

    Mario Veit!!

    Pudwill, ah yes, the fight in Newcastle? at which Tock was so bad that Calzaghe was booed off stage for picking such poor opposition and there was a general clamour for refunds for the tickets.
