    Not in my opinion, Hopkins mixed it with much better competition over his career. Hopkins has achieved far more than Calzaghe too.

    Of course not, what the ****? Calzaghe isn't even a p4p ATG, although he is the ATG at SMW, which isn't saying much. Bernard Hopkins is a certified top 60 p4p ATG. CERTIFIED. Calzaghe is not.

    Hopkins was the first to beat Tito and stopped his ass.

    Hopkins destruction of tito dumps all over Calzaghes career.

    Mayweather is no Robinson.

    If Calzaghe fought Pac that night. Calzaghe would of Lacy'ed him. Not run or hug but give him a bad beating.

    And If Joe fought Mayweather that night, he would of out worked him ( ala Jones'ed).He wouldn't of complained about a bad shoulder.

    That is why Calzaghe ranks higher that Pac and Mayweather.

    What had Tito accomplished at MW? What did Tito ever accomplish at MW?

    Joe beat a much more accomplished, undefeated SMW in Kessler. And unlike, Tito, Kessler actually deserved his undefeated record when Joe fought him.

    Well B Hop had just schooled Tarver and beaten Winky very comfortably in his 2 fights running up to losing to Joe. His next fight after Joe he schooled Pavlik.

    No. De La Hoya was the first to beat Tito, he just didn't get the decision .

    Even Hopkins gives credit to De La Hoya for the blueprint to beat Tito.

    Plus without the wraps, Tito wasn't much.

    Tito was a natural MW who started at JWW and had 2 career fights at MW before his first retirement? :huh

    As late as 1999 Tito was only re-hydrating to 155 when fighting at WW. Hardly massive.

    Tito accomplished next to nothing at MW.

    Joe's wins over B Hop at LHW and Kessler at SMW are more impressive.

    I know you do. But how do you rank Calzaghe so low and Mayweather so high?

    The only thing Mayweather does better than Calzaghe is defense.

    Joe is better at everthing else.

    Um no. :lol:

    Calzaghe is better than Mayweather at work rate, he's better than everyone at that category.
