Better Legacy? Jones v Hopkins?

[IMDAZED]

I was responding to a statement that Hopkins won his belts from better opposition than Joe did.

Hence why there is no defenses in between.

Also, all things taken into account, Joe was a massive underdog against Lacy and Eubank, and was about 50-50 with Kessler. Hopkins was only really in that position against Tito, who at the end of the day was a welterweight.

Joe won his belts from better opposition than Hopkins, it's pretty much a fact.

You responded to my post without any substance. Didn't know it was for someone else since you quoted me.

I think it's close in terms of who beat better opposition during their long reigns but Bernard edges it IMO.

Career-wise, it's not as close.

Not only did Bernard defend his belt X amount of times but he then leaped TWO divisions and took on the consensus champ and won. That in itself is quite a feat. And even at 43 gave Calzaghe his toughest fight to date, a fight many feel he won.

That's pretty dumb. In that case two of Calzaghe's biggest wins were against "naturally" smaller men too since Jones spent much of his career at middle, as did Hopkins.

READ properly before you reply,I WAS NOT comparing biggest wins,I was however comparing the opposition that they fought to win the titles they won.

Calzaghe's was better=FACT

Your opinion doesn't equal fact. And maybe you should read properly as well. Perhaps you missed where I clearly state, "IN THAT CASE."
