    No. Wards only good win was against Kessler.


    You cant throw out Wards name as being better than Joe when Wards only claim to fame is a win over one of Joes leftovers.

      If you want Calzaghe to get credit then you should start respecting Hopkins for what he has accomplished.

      ****ing thread is bogus.
      For the record I think Hopkins is a hall of famer, and I believe the fight in 2008 was a fair one.

      If Hopkins wanted to claim old age against Joe, then he shouldnt have dominated Kelly Pavilk shortly after.


      QUESTION FOR jrosales13


      Do you consider BHOP and Roy ATG's?

        I don't have Roy in my top 50 but I have B-Hop in my top 50 maybe top 40 I don't know I have to look.

          And, why make such a big deal for P4P list. I can say Calderon is my #1 P4P. You can not say is wrong cuz it is all an opinion.
          I did a top 100 ATG list with the spacific idea to place calzaghe outside it and when all was said and done I started to have to make up reasons to place people above him at about 80-90 so thats where i put him now.

          I doubt 99.9% of people have done a top 100 with enough research to geniuely make a statement on the subject with any degree of certainty.

          I did and even with the basis of trying to place him outside i couldn't.

          that said I only consider top 50 ATG's so in that respect we agree.

            No single fighter has ever managed to slip Hopkins punches like Calzaghe did. If anyone thinks that kind of talent is commonplace they're a fool; I don't want to hear it.

              From the looks of it, Ward > Kessler.

                    What did Bhop really accomplish that Joe didnt?

                    Joe had a long string of title defenses just like Bernard did.

                    Joe was undisputed just like Bernard was.

                    And in the ultimate decider of fates: The Head to Head match up, Joe won that one too. Name another fighter who neutralized Bernards style better than Joe...

                      Impressive list. Im not going to pretend to know the history behind all of the fighters mentioned but just speak on the modern ones I know and how youve placed them:"

                      #1. How in the hell are you going to place those two bums, Barerra and Morales in your top 100 over Joe Clazaghe? Holy **** Im at a loss for words, please explain how getting KTFO and retiring in your early 30s, makes you better than a guy who remained undefeated/unknocked well into his late 30s?

                      #2 Evander is not 40 places better than Lennox. Lennox could very well beat every single heavyweight on your list...hell every single PERSON on that list in a 1 on 1 boxing match and you have him ranked 83,below Holyfield?

                      You may know many names, many boxers but you are obviously biased blind or both to **** on British champions the way you do.
