    Overall Hopkins but Hopkins improved a lot over those years so the win that jones jr. has is a bit overrated. So it's probably James Toney.

      You mean in terms of sheer name, or effective level at that moment?

      If only the name is needed, it has to be one among Toney, Hopkins, McCallum and Trinidad.

      Otherwise, the answer is Toney. Many predicted Lights Out would beat RJJ when they fought.

          In terms of who was the best fighter.

                Not a bad choice.

                Although he was on his last legs by that time.

                  Then Calzaghe's best win is Roy Jones Jr.

                    - - Prime to prime beat comprehensively if not beat up all his peers, ie McC, TwoTon, Poppy, ect and did it in such a style never before seen.
