Who has beaten the Better Opposition?

[Parody]

Roy may have the Better names on his Paper padded record.
But people seem to forget that a lot of the guys Roy fought were not exactly Prime time tip top condition or had developed into the fighters they became i.e Hopkins.

Hopkins was better than he is is right now thats for sure and Calzaghe is facing him next.

That was a in-fighting aggressive Hopkins who actually threw 80+ punches per round, not 12 punches per round like he currently does.

Toney was rated as the top P4P Fighter and was undefeated and in his Prime.

Virgil Hill was in his Prime, Roy beat Woods who done better in the future and still is champ. He beat the body snatcher Mike McCallum.

I would rate these victories over a shot to death Eubank, Green Lacy and Reid which was a questionable decision.

Was it Jones fault? Toney was in his prime I dont buy the weight drained excuse, you cant take away anything from Roy Jones. If that then I can name all the faults on Calzaghe's opponents and why he beat them, you can do that for any fighter. Truth is Prime Jones hardly lost a round against the opponents he beat, Reid almost beat Calzaghe, Kessler won some rounds.

yea but calz fractured his wrist fighting reid, I think calz without the wrist troubles vs jones prime would be one of the fights of the decade no matter who wins.

Wlad owns loves to root for the white fighter.
I don't think I've ever witnessed him pick a black fighter over a white one.

Glad I was'nt the only one who noticed that. Why cant people be neutral, My favourite fighters are: Mayweather, Haye, Khan, Bute, Kessler, Pavlik, Williams etc...While his are Wlad, Pavlik, Calzaghe, Bute, Hatton (He removed Hatton from his favourites since he lost to Mayweather)

Eubank wasn't "Shot to death" exactly , yes he was not prime but Shot? He was only 32 at the time ....7-8 years younger than McCallum when RJJ met him.
Hill was coming off a loss and Toney was weight drained.

So which fighter was AT THEIR VERY BEST when they fought Roy?

I'd rather see Calzaghe fight Jones than Hopkins. I think Jones would win then Jones vs Hopkins...

I know you were joking, but Lol @ WLAD OWNS. I have no doubts he is'nt joking.

Jones Jr. has beaten better opposition, but I thought I might as well vote for Calzaghe anyway because this thread and poll sucks.
