Roy Jones Jr.

From '98 to now? Mike Tyson, and easily. Still convincing people that he was even a shell of his prime self..

I would also throw Ricky Hatton into the pot. He was billed as this next "Duran" with all this skill when in actuality he was/is a mauler with 1 very good win and a bunch of tune up caliber fights.

I would say DLH. He is a good fighter but he is so over hyped. You would think that he was an ATG with all the pub and talk about him.

They make him seem like a multi-division Champion when he was merely a multi-division titilist. Its debatable if DLH was ever a true Champion at all. He was never the undisputed champion of any of his weight classes and its a testament to the ABC's genuis as to how he got soooo many belts.

147lbs: He lost to Tito and Mosley here and never unified.

154lbs: Won some ABC's from Vargas (how did Vargas get those belts after losing them to Tito?). However did'nt get to unify against any other champs here before losing again to Mosley.

160lbs: Strum and Hopkins do I need to even go here.

He had some good fights and good wins but if you step back from the neon lights and allow your retina to dialate you'll see he is wayyy over hyped.

Yup I agree, 100%. If you think Sturm beat ODLH, which i do. ODLH has lost 4 out of his last 5 fights.

Yeah, thats true but you take away from Calz's win if you say that he was very over hyped.

For the most part he was what he was marketed as: A very strong, very durable, very hungry and very powerful (KO potential) YOUNG fighter.

He just ran into a very fast handed, very crafty, very determined and seasoned fighter.

At that point in Lacey's career other fighters at 168lbs might've been able to defeat him but I dont believe that another fighter at that weight and at that time would've been able to dominate him as badly as Calz did.

Haha?

Nobody really thinks Calzaghe stands a remote chance at beating a prime Roy Jones Jr do they? That would be ******ed.

People talk about Jones like he was invincible but now we all know he is not... Everyone has a weak ness and nobody is perfect, Roy has a china chin and never fought anyone who could put it to the test in his prime!
