Lennox technically didn't have undisputed status for any title defenses so by your logic he isn't an ATG at heavy.

    I didn't want to have to crush you but you've given me no choice.
    Don't worry you did not crush anything, but you provided more reasons for more easy bashing.

    Leonard was a champ at welter for aout 2 years. Calzaghe for TEN at 168. See the difference there?

    Lennox held 2 or more major belts for 4 out of his 10 years as a champion. Calzaghe again for 5 minutes, if you want to count his wbo belt as a major belt that's still 1 year out of his ten years "reign".

    I am deliberately not getting in the details of woh they actually fought, because there is already plenty of people here are tearing a new one.

      Calzaghe was a good fighter but his reign ******. No way he beats a prime Hopkins, especially if he had to drain to 160 to do it.

        Great point Reed. Too bad Joes haters are so blind with their bias they think all he fought during his undefeated career was late 90s Hopkins and RJJ caliber opponents. Funny how people forget that between RJJ and Tito all Hop fought were journeymen. As for RJJ I've got 2 words for anyone Ricky Fraizer.

          Sugar Ray Leonard faced and defeated, PRIME or close to PRIME;

          -Floyd Mayweather
          -Wilfred Benitez
          -Roberto Durant
          -Thomas Hearns
          -Marvin Hagler

          Are you drunk!?
          Joe Calzaghe cannot be mentioned in the same breath as SRL.

            He can't be mentioned with Leonard, but why put Mayweather on that list? He shouldn't be mention with the others on the list you gave.

              Many average fans lack the eye I possess in viewing boxing.

              Although his resume is weak Floyd Maywweather had some soild skills and was 15-1-0 when he faced Leonard.
              I liked his boxing skills, but he lacked the speed and power of Leonard, much like many of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s current opponents lack the speed and power deal with him.

                Hops unified 2 parts of the REAL title And went up from there. WBO ***zaghe couldn't do it for 10 PATHETIC years

                  Bhop and real title? Man, what the heck are you talking about? Who at MW that Bhop fought could stand a chance against Zaghe? Jermaine Taylor?

                  Hopkins became the champ at 175 and Zaghe moved up to a higher weight and beat Bhop despite the fact that Hopkins was looking to survive and not win.

                  I mean can you imagine what Zaghe would do to Tito? You saw Tito lose every second of every round against Winky right?

                    Doesn't matter he fought the guys who had the title not bums who weren't even in the top 10. Trinidad probably would have ko'd slap f@g anyway. he fought winky 7 years after he retired moron. And slappy f@g was to big for 160 so why would you talk about him and 160. He wouldn't fight guys in the to 10 chump. a guy ranked #9 was to highly ranked for him to fight. That says it all.
