    same for hopkins.
    I never said ATG.

    But in order to separate yourself from the back you should beat a great fighter in his prime. Couple that with your resume and there you go.

    Both Toney and Hops beat greats in their prime - McCallum and Trinidad for starters. They both also beat prime, top five pound for pounders in their prime.

            that's a very general way of looking at things. I don't hate calzaghe, I just think he is way overrated by his nut-hugging fans. and why I call them nut-huggers is because these are the same fans that hate on mayweather and RJJ yet those fighters have accomplished more than him. Calzaghe even admits it himself that he didn't get the big fights in his career because of Warren and when he broke free of warren he fought RJJ and retired. lol.

            Look at my faves list in my sig. Can't say that I hate successful fighters cuz most of those names are FAR more successful than calzaghe.

                Absolutely. Even if you think McCallum was past it then what would you say about Toney? Green?

                Yeah Tito was in his prime. He was considered the world's best fighter and coming off three incredible wins in succession.

                Sshhh...

                  you keep changing your rules for atg entry just so calzaghe doesnt fit the bill

                  what does it matter if the fight is in his "prime", if he's top 5 p4p, he's top 5 p4p.

                  the hopkins calzaghe beat is better than prime nunn. if someone beat shane mosley now it would be a huge win, true?

                    Go back and read what I wrote in my initial post. Just because you can't comprehend and I have to correct you twice doesn't mean I changed the rules. It just means you can't read.

                    How many ATG's do you know without a win over a prime great?

                    Go ahead.

                      it's all well and dandy saying trinidad was great at the time, he got found out after though didnt he? just because lacy was predicted to beat calzaghe it doesnt make him great now does it? people were hesitant to put trinidad #2 p4p because many thought he was out boxed by oscar, and thought hopkins would do the same.

                      what did trinidad do at 160+?? **** all is the answer.
