    Both reigns had much more killer than filler. Reid, Woodhall, Brewer, Mitchell and Lacy were as live threats to Calzaghe as anything was on Hopkins' resume during his reign. FFS De La Hoya was miles above where he should have been. Ditto Tito. They had no chance. You might be one of these people that looks at names but ignores the context but I aint.
    So I guess Manfredo Jr is right up there at the top with Winky, Jermaine Taylor, Roy, Oscar, Tito....

        Yep. And Robert Allen x3, Andrew Council, Simon Brown, Carl Daniels and Morrade Hakkar are up there with Lacy, Eubank, Reid, Woodhall, Brewer, Mitchell.

        Of course I was comparing successful title defences. One of them defeated him twice for the title and the other pwned him beforehand.

          You're showing your ignorance if you think Brewer, Mitchell and Sheika weren't class. Also, why haven't you listed Hopkins' stellar list of defences?
          Real talk? You don't have a ****ing clue.

            Ok I thought we were talking about who had the balls to get in the ring with the top fighters, not who won or lost, I'm well aware that Bhop lost 3 of those fights but he still got in the ring with them, please don't bring up Lacy, Calzaghe does it enough, he knows that's the only name on his resume worth mentioning so he does it every time he gets a chance.

              We were talking about resumes pre-Tarver. Of course, if Hopkins hadn't reneged on his agreement we'd have already seen Hopkins-Calzaghe years ago. There's only one reason that fight didn't happen.

                What is wrong with you?, you get upset about the most ****** things, it is Joe? Has he been touching you in naughty places again? SHB you have to tell an adult, they can help you, you dont have to protect joe anymore, you are safe now.

                How does Mitchell, Sheika and Brewer compare to

                De La Hoya, Trinidad and Roy Jones Jr,



                Yes hopkins 20 defences were not that great either, but in terms of resume, he has been in with far better fighters than Calzaghe. Real Talk. lol.

                  The quality of the opponents is undisputed. The fact remains that neither De La Hoya or Trinidad were fighting anywhere near their real weight. If Ricky Hatton now went and stepped up to Middle-weight, would you give many people credit for beating him, despite him being a P4P top 10 fighter (please try and answer this without telling me that Trinidad and De La Hoya are better quality fighters than Hatton, I know you understand that isnt the point of this comparison)? De La Hoya and Trinidad has no business being at Hopkins' weight and Roy Jones JR BEAT him.

                  Calzaghe's victories may not have come against fighters as high in quality, but they were at least at the right weight level and at least he beat all of his. To me, that just about makes them pretty equal victories.

                    What an utter utter ****ing scrote you are. I bet you get beaten every day in school like the ****sexual ***** that you are.

                    Seriously lad, don't go onto a forum if a) you can't put together a coherent and consistent argument and b) you know **** all about the subject the forum is about. Your boxing knowledge is as ****ing laughable as your attempts to act all "hard" and "edgy" when in reality we all know your some spotty 18 year old kid hiding in their bedroom in their parents house who's 120lbs soaking wet and the closest they've actually come to a boxing ring is when they bought Fight Night for their ****ing xbox. Mind you that's closer than you've come to popping your cherry.

                    And I thought the Danes were bad. At least they're just harmless fanboys at worst.
