    Comparing the 3 great fighters

    Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe that is...

    This is a very hard thing to do especially when the fighters are so well matched as these three were, this is how I see it but please leave your input too.

              The thread says 3 great fighters, but I only see two, Bernard and Roy.

                      I agree Calzaghe is not a great fighter.
