    A question for yall , if we all agree that a younger super middleweight james toney would have beaten calzaghe then why are they saying calzaghe is the greatest SMW of all time (they said so in the HBO countdown show )

      Toney was to slow a starter for Joe...

        Calzaghe has stayed there longer... I think that's a questionable determination though...

          Because Toney didn't stay at 168 for a long period.

            I don't think Toney would have beaten Calzaghe, he was too static.

                He didn't use his feet. Joe is too fast and too busy and too mobile.

                  Well when u see how Calzaghe struggled with rough/rugged fighters like Robin Ried & Bika i think a young Hopkins would have had a very good chance at beating him

                  i think a Prime James Toney would give Calzaghe fits aswell

                      Because styles make fights

                      Montell Griffin is not a better fighter than Jones JR & James Toney but thier were times in both fights where he outboxed the pair of them
