    I have to agree with Calzaghe being #1 on the list based on division accomplishment but on pure skill and ability, it's impossible to overlook Jones and even Toney.

    It is however cute that so many of the Calzaghe past opponents made that list or were ranked higher over more credible fighters. It is what it is but it looks a little like the ranking system leans Joe's way.

    And Kessler #2? What a joke.

Think of all the fighters who beat way-past-their-prime Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, etc. Is it a good system to reward, for instance, William Joppy for KOing a 48-year-old Duran?
      Exactly.

      Again, this is boxing. Love Cliff but this right here...yikes.

            3.Nigel Benn
            4.Toney

                Toney at super middleweight has wins over Barkley, Williams, Littles, Thornton and DeWitt.

                Jones at SMW has wins over Toney, Malinga, Sosa, Thornton and Lucas.

                I'd take that over having a long string of title defenses against nobodies.

                  Who cares. You guys can sit here and argue all day, but Calzaghe is number 1, and I'll tell you why:

                  Because Danny Williams said so.

                  "He proved without doubt - not that there was any doubt in my mind - that he is the best super-middleweight in the world," Williams told BBC Sport Online.

                    How are any of those wins any better than Benn's, Eubanks, Collins resume?
