Calzaghe is the best. Hopkins, Dawson, Tarver and Johnson round out the group. They can all beat each other.
I would be pretty hesitant to pick Calzaghe over Johnson @ 175. As for the best, not too sure. Field doesn't seem to have a clear cut 'better' LtHW then anyone else.
Interesting assessment especially being as Diaconu had about a year off..sure he showed some ring rust but was able to control the fight and land the cleaner more effective punches:yep All things considered he did well and was impressive considering such a long layoff In my opinion Joe C fought an equally impressive fight: Good but not his best:deal
I would love to see Calzaghe fight all of these men and I think he would likely find a way to win. People seems to have forgotten how explosive a fighter Joe is just because he fought a guy who lives for shitty fights. I like all the other guys in the field (except Tarver) and would love to see Calzaghe get to do his thing against them.
