    does'nt change the fact that virgil hill alone was/is a better fighter than most of calzaghe's comp

    and a broken rib might ruin a fighter, but who knows

      LHW and it's not very close. There was nothing at super middle...nothing. Omar Sheika would've been in the lower rungs of the LHW rankings at best. Charles Brewer couldn't handle Antwun Echols. Mikkel Kessler may have been the best of the lot and his resume pales in comparison to an Antonio Tarver, Virgil Hill and several more.

      Silly question but lparm is en fuego these days.

        The SMW division in Calzaghe's time was weaker.

        Roy Jones, Dariusz Michalczewski, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver, Montell Griffin, Reggie Johnson, Eric Harding, Clinton Woods

        vs

        Joe Calzaghe, Sven Ottke, Mikkel Kessler, Robin Reid, Jeff Lacy, Anthony Mundine, Charles Brewer, Markus Beyer

          It's likely Roy's lhw had more HOF'ers but he did avoid Darius, Joe never fought Ottke but Kessler is widely considered much better.
