In response to the what Calzaghe's resume SHOULD have looked like thread...

The Winky Wright fight wasn't as close as people say IMO, I scored it 116-112 Hopkins. Winky also fought an excellent fight and had the style and frame to fight at a higher weight, he'd been fighting at MW for a few fights prior to the Hopkins fight and only jumped up 10lbs to fight him at a 170 catch-weight. Most fans agree that Hopkins beat Taylor in the rematch, alot think he won the first fight aswell but I scored that norrowly for Taylor even though Hopkins came on strong. Trinidad was a good win but Tito wasn't suited for MW. He still had good power though and that's why he destroyed Joppy, but he wasn't suited to MW.
Calzaghe beating Hopkins is a bigger scalp than anything Hopkins or Jones have done. And before some mindless buthugger brings up Ruiz, that was a great achievement, but not a great win. Ruiz was a Don King protected garbage fighter. Still impressive for a former MW to beat him though, definitely.
Winky carried the weight so well he went right back down...not to super middle...to 160. He looked chubby and as bad as he ever looked in that fight. Stop making excuses, brother. It was a good name but unimpressive performance by two very lethargic fighters. And Winky didn't carry the weight well AT ALL.
Second, Hopkins stature prior to facing Calzaghe was as low as it had been for years. Not a very impressive performance against Winky and Taylor pushed him as much as he'd ever been pushed before. Ever.
Speaking of Taylor, funny how you easily forget he "earned" his shot against Taylor by beating a sparring partner and jabbing William Joppy to death for 12 rounds. You know, the same William Joppy Felix Trinidad knocked down three times in five rounds and destroyed? The same Tito who wasn't suited for middle? The same Joppy Hopkins couldn't stop?
Calzaghe barely beating a 43yr old fighter who had lost two of his last three and mediocre in all three is not better than Roy Jones beating a prime, undefeated James Toney either.Comment

I wouldn't say that. I've found his posts pretty interesting. Throwing insults around like "you're an idiot" doesn't really constitute a worthwhile comeback to the quality posts he's been writing. No offense. Obviously, the guy isn't an idiot, you just disagree with him.

The comparison is also foolish because Jones couldn't of known that Toney was going to be any less of a fighter in the ring that night. Calzaghe on the other hand knew the current state of Roy Jones. Joe even talked about it in his Auto Biography. Toney wasn't just a name, how can a P4P undefeated fighter be just a name?Comment
