            Embarrassingly, only 3 of those fighters on Calzaghe's list were in the Top 5 of the division when he fought them.

              I think Zags should be and will be. The only points for Mosley come in the form of a better pool of competition. He didnt actually dominate his best comp. Calzaghe did minus BHop. But no one has dominated Hopkins? I sincerely believe the wins over DLH are not as great as they're made out to be. Good wins though.

                I really don't like Calzaghe but I'm edging with the old dog here.

                Mosley took on riskier fights. However, there's an asteriks over them because of illegal drug use.

                    maybe because his best comp is much better than calzaghe's? prime oscar, prime margarito, prime forrest, prime winky, prime mayweather, prime pacquiao and a bunch of other solid fighters vs a couple good fighters on calzaghe's resume. calzaghe dominated the bums and got a bunch of early stoppages but should we really reward someone for not taking risks? if mosley wanted to have an equivalent career to calzaghe he would have beaten delahoya then had 20 defenses against bums then retired with a controversial win over an old great like trinidad or someone like that.
