    I think Jones, Cal & BHop cherry picked opponents in their own way.

              How many Middleweights in Boxing history have gone up to Heavyweight and beat a champion up there?

              I know it has been done before but how many times?

              If that's not a risk then nothing is.

              Roy Jones
              Bernard Hopkins(He was underdog in a whole bunch of fights Trinidad, Tarver, Pavlik, I think in the Taylor fight too Etc.)
              James Toney
              Joe Calzaghe

                  jones was in a **** division.

                  calzaghe was in a **** division and didn't fight anyone with a pulse.

                  hopkins was the king of the welterweight division.



                  toney is the man.
