    By the way I'm picking Calzaghe to win the fight, hes just not the best fighter that Jones has faced.

        Also, Hopkins was green but Jones was green as well. Tarver is a first ballet hall of famer. He is a 4 time light heavyweight champion with wins over some of the best light heavyweights of this era. He has wins over Jones, Johnson, Harding, Woods, Montell Griffen ectera.

            Ruiz was garbage, he had a title that was fragmented in the Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield saga.

              Bull****, Tarver will make the HOF but he wont be considered first Ballet. Guys like Eubank and Benn were not even considered for that and quite frankly Tarver could not walk a mile in those guys shoes.

              He is nowhere near Calzaghe level either.

                Would you pick Calzaghe to beat everyone that Tarver fought and beat?

                    Many people thought that Hopkins took Calzaghe to school as well. Tarver actually had an excuse. He was 200+ pounds when he came back from making the rocky movie. He was weight drained, however i would have still favored Hopkins over him but it would have been a much more competitive fight.

                    Also, Calzaghe was accused on avoiding Johnson even when he wanted to come to wales to fight. I would give the Johnson that beat Jones and Tarver the first time a good shot at upsetting Calzaghe.
