        Why make up lies? You can look at his record and see that's BS. People say Roy Jones fought cab drivers and police officers during his reign. If that's the case Joe fought the male nurses and vegetable chefs who where taking the cabs and calling the police. He was fighting the guys who didn't have the balls to be cab drivers and cops.

          Calzaghe took the easy road, for the most, part pre-Lacy, but without a doubt he beat Hopkins - and would have beaten him even more conclusively had Hopkins not faked the low-blow in desperation to recover. If Calzaghe threw slaps, why didn't Bernard, and all his competition for that matter, simply step up and leave him KTFO? Because those slaps hurt. Roy was incredible in his prime, but it's become common knowledge that he was "supplementing" his diet (hello, JCCJr.) in a way that maximized his abilities. Even Emmanuel Steward said that Calzaghe, with his style, would have been a problem for Roy at any stage of his career.

            Joe Calzaghe=Lucian Bute except Bute actually fought a quality fighter in his prime.

            Bute could've kept fighting bums like Joe did, fought and beat a shot to hell Ward and Froch and be considered an ATG. Bute actually has more balls than Joe though.

              Hopkins at 50 still beats Bute. Joe beat Hopkins in his backyard.

                Calzaghe beat prime Kessler, who beat prime Froch, would beat prime Bute.

                  Yeah but he beat Hopkins and Jones for that matter when they were old. Hopkins was obviously still good but you can't ignore the fact that he was over 45. And Jones was so shot it was an embarrassment to even fight him. He should have re-matched Hopkins. That would of been the respectable thing to do given the split decision. There is no way in the world anyone can justify the Jones fight at that time. No way. Do you actually defend that fight as legitimate??

                      Do you know how meaningless that statement is?
                      Breidis Prescott is the greatest boxer of all time. Here's why: (courtesy of bojangels)


                      Prescott beat Khan, who beat Maidana, who beat Ortiz, who beat Berto, who beat Quintana, who beat Paul Williams, who beat Sergio Martinez, who beat Pavlik, who beat Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins, who beat Tarver, who beat Roy Jones, who beat Ruiz, who beat Holyfield, who beat Tyson, who beat Larry Holmes, who beat Ali.

                      Therefore Breidis Prescott beats Ali
