    Toney or Jones

    Calzaghe took the least risks and probably get some **** for this but Bhop cherry picked a bit too check most of his big wins he allways has some advantage.

        If Toney doesn't win this poll there's more idiots on this forum than I thought.

        At 160 the #1 P4P at the time Nunn, The Body Snatcher 3x, RJ, Reggie Johnson, Griffin, Jirov, Holyfield, 3 of them were undefeated and 2 of them only had one loss.

        He started at 160 and made heavyweight his home, not just 1 and done, he fought contenders and ranked opponents and ****. Just that is more risk than everyone else.

            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
            Well this doesn't make sense for you to have Toney near the bottom considering he's fought more Heavies then Jones.

            I'll rank them like this though:
            -Hopkins
            -Toney
            -Jones
            -Calzaghe

                so hopkins having guys come up to 160 and 170 from 147 and 154 took more of a risk than guys like toney and roy?

                a natural middleweight fighting at 175 like roy didn't take any risks?

                a fat short , bastard fighting cruiserweights and heavyweights is not taking a risk?

                      Calzaghe took the biggest fights he could take. He was calling tarver hopkins and roy out years before he got his big fights but they laughed at him.
