    Who's the greatest super middleweight head 2 head

    bascially who would of beaten every 168 pounder in the divisions history not who had the better record or championship run just who would beat everbody at super middleweight.

    2.Gerald McCellenan
    3.Joe Calzaghe

    Jones. I can't see anyone beating him at his best, barring a fluke.

    Very obviously, Chang Pal Park should be in the meaningless poll.

    You should have did a public poll.

    I voted Roy Jones.

    h2h i'd have roy #1 and toney #2, given that they actually met in their primes and roy won 12-0, it's pretty clear that its roy by a country mile

    No one is capable of that, no one. There is bound to be a stylistic nightmare for all of those fighters at some point, probably to a fighter you dont expect them to have trouble with either.

    Id say Jones has the best chance at winning MORE head to heads though.

    Well said. If there were a theoretical pool of 32 where everyone had to fight each other, nobody would go unscathed, but I'd favor Jones to win it. :thumbsup
