        Easy. One of them is a yank.

        No Roy's career on balance is a lot better than Zaghe's. Four weight champ, beat Hopkins and Toney, won a heavyweight strap after starting as a Middleweight, there's no question.

        The tricky part is when you ask the same question of Hopkins and Calzaghe. Conventional wisdom seems to suggest that Hopkins has had a far superior career but so far I've never seen a convincing argument to back that up.

            based on their resumes jones jr.. but if they both retired after this certain fight it would be calzaghe simply cuz he dominated jones jr... and even if jones was in his prime, i dunno if he could beat calzaghe that night he was unbelievable

              Roy got beat handily last nite, but he can take solace in the fact that overall, he'll be remembered as superior.

                A Yank? You continue to be a ****ing idiot.

                That's why everyone rates Lennox Lewis so low right? ****tard
