You need to stop looking just on the surface.
Maybe we should boost up the two fighters that knocked Pac out early. After all, they beat Pac like nobody has beaten him before.Comment

LOL............. Okay whatever.
I combined them to show you half the guys theyve fought. Thats half of their resume.
You must be crazy if you think wins over Mitchell, Eubank etc cement him a place in the best of this era list.
He's fought two hall of famers in Hopkins and Roy Jones. The Hopkins win was very very very close and its fair to say that Roy was shot when Joe beat him.
I'm not hating but this is the truth, Roy wasnt the Roy of the 1990's and Hopkins was 42 when Joe beat him.
Hopkins was 43, a good 43 year old as well, but Calzaghe didn't do enough to take his belt. He could have at least given him a rematch.
Jones was shot to pieces, he had been knocked out by the likes of Tarver, Johnson etc, nobody thought he stood a chance against Calzaghe at this stage. The fact that he knocked him down makes it even funnier.
Calzaghe beating Hopkins was a good win however, even if it was close either guy winning would have been fine. I just wish Calzaghe wasn't such a coward and offered rematches. He never struck me as a champion who actually wanted to prove himself.
Because Taylor beat a better version of Hopkins and did it more so convincingly, it sorta takes off Calzaghe's supposed "uber" status. The fact that Jones was knocked spark out 2 times completely negates his competative 12 round decision over Jones.
His resume doesn't come close to Pacquiao, not even a hair. Pacquiao jumped multiple weight classes and grabbed titles, fought the mexican Trio and beat them. 2 of them were in direct primes, Morales being somewhat past it.
Then there are his equivalents of Eubanks and Rieds, such as Valezquez, Ledwaba, Solis...I guess a dehydrated De La Hoya. Now he's taking on the no.1 fighter at 140 lbs..and is the betting favorite.
His tune up was David Diaz, the lw champ...Comment
