Roy Jones went undefeated for longer than Calzaghe's career. His first loss[real loss] came in his 49th pro fight. Calzaghe retired after his 46th pro fight. And before that, he should have had at least a Draw with Hopkins, which would have made him 46-0-1. Jones never had a draw with anyone, he was either better than you or he was shot and that's why you beat him. That's how Calzaghe beat him, because Jones was shot. And Calzaghe at 36, was not shot yet, he was still fresh. Marquez is 37, beating guys 10 years younger than him, so age does not matter.
Calzaghe fought Jones, when Jones was a "legend", 52-4 and already had done everything he was gonna do in boxing.
Won Fighter of The Decade in the 90s, went from Jr Middleweight to Heavyweight, easily collecting titles in 4 weight classes against champions, no major vacant titles, except for his fight with Hopkins for the MW IBF which is okay if you're gonna fight for a vacant title against actual fair competition, no asking for catchweights when he wanted to go up in weight against bigger guys, not even at Heavyweight did he ask for a catchweight[instead he came in light, and didn't care how heavy Ruiz wanted to come in], just putting ass whoopings to any top 10 fighter in the respective weight limits. That's a REAL fighter of the decade.Comment

Pretty much everything you said about Johnson is bull****. There's a reason he has 14 losses and is called "The Road Warrior". It's because he fights guys in their back yard and usually gets robbed of a decision. Contrast that to Joe who never left the UK until Hopkins and Jones were approaching senior citizen status.
I like Joe, but I have much more respect for Glen because he'll fight anyone, anywhere despite all the robberies he's had to endure. To disrespect and try to denigrade Glen and his career simply because people say your favorite fighter ducked him is ludicrous.Comment
