    Calzaghe would tear him a new *******.
    Robin Reid beat calzaghe and Toney is superior to Reid. Prime or even now
    Toney would tear him a new one......see what a i did there?

    A prime, disciplined and in-shape Toney was a beast, pleeeeease Joe aint in his league, JT got him beat in every department. Toney would have KILLED the Lacy that showed up against Joe, which is Joes best win .

      That's the trouble with Toney. Excellent on his day, but far far too often it wasn't his day. Perennially weight-drained or over-weight, and a career filled with lacklustre showings, chances are Calzaghe would have caught him on one of those off days. But best vs best, it's hard to choose. I see a close-ish decision either way.

        Indeed, he was very erratic, especially in the lower weight classes where he'd look great in 1 fight then look horrible in the next.

          Hopkins is a better fighter at 43 than when he was 26 years old and Zaghe used to be a better fighter at younger age, so Zaghe beats Hopkins at anytime and the same goes for Toney. Roy Jones is a different story, but you never know that's why they fight.

            Yeah, all of boxing is about at what time one guy gets the other guy in the ring. Happily sometimes thy're both at the same point - but more often than not... they're not.

                  Calzaghe already won the war of words
                  No one wins the war of words with Toney... If you are one of the lucky ones able to translate his language... you realize he is pretty damn funny.

                    Hopkins at 26 had less than 20 fights and had barely started fighting 10rounders.

                    Hopkins best is widely regarded to be between Johnson 97 and Tito 2001. Where he was much better than at 43... 'Zaghe beats Hopkins' at anytime he is just a dream.

                    Toney was busy being Cruiserweight champion and moving up t HW while calzaghe piled up useless defenses of his trap, more dreaming from you.

                    As for Jones, Calzaghe even said Jones was too much for him. Someone has a link to the interview in his sig.
