      Yes McCallum is an all-time great but if you're talking about the first Toney fight which was a draw, I actually thought Toney was robbed in that fight!

        This is a boxing forum jackass.

        That also might be the ******est question because it makes you look like you're new to boxing. Well in fact....you are. Simply after reading that response.

          Morales
          Calzaghe

          If Hatton beats Castillo in June, I'd swap him for Calzaghe. But if Calzaghe beats Hopkins in July, I'd swap him back for Hatton.

          Ricardo Lopez had no defining fights because nobody could touch him at the weight, if I'm not mistaken. The few occasions I saw him he was a master technician, though.


          Biggest waste of talent of the last 15 years, by far Chris Eubank.
          Ricardo Lopez' bouts against another great min/flyweight in Alvarez were probably his career defining fights, mainly the second bout. Besting every top contender to your throne and possessing skills that gain him recognition as a master technitian put him in the top 15 of the last 15 years. He beat Alvarez, Grigsby, Vorapin and a young Sorjaturong...all titlists around that division.

          I have a few of his bouts and he was the real deal. I mean he CRUSHED Vorapin...there wasn't one flaw in his game. Power, speed, precision, awareness...it was all there.

                Roy is the greatest fighter of our generation and of the past 15 years.

                  Oscar and Hamed sold far more Home Box Office PPV's than Jones, Oscar and Toney have much better resumes than Jones, and Mayweather and Whitaker showed more talent and skill than Jones and against better opposition to boot.

                    Oscar, Mayweather and Whitaker are the main men.

                      Hamed's win over Kevin Kelley gets under-rated I feel. Hamed is probably on the brink of my list.

                      If you see Kelley in his early career, he looks amazingly smooth and assured and people predicted that he would never lose.. but he took his foot off the pedal in the gym by all accounts, lost a little confidence and form.. until training his ass off for Hamed and saying he was in his best shape ever. Now Kelley was the best American featherweight, and if he had trained harder than ever for Hamed, having been like the best American prospect in the past, that's some kind of achievement in beating him!

                      Hamed said recently that Kevin Kelley was his best-ever opponent.
