      Roy Jones is regarded as a future all-time P4P right.. for doing what?

      Exactly the same argument, numbers speak for themselves.
      Roy Jones resume is infinatley better than Joe C's and Roy won titles at 4 different weight classes.

        Calzaghe's homer fans are being unreasonable on this one. He's a great fighter who has beaten no great fighters other than a shot Eubank

          He needs better guys on his resume or he needs to move up and win something, there just arent alot of quality wins for him.

            Joe will get in. He still has 3-4 fights left. In that time, I am confident he will win over his doubters. I'm not going to right him off. He is too talented to be written off. Its not his fault that people avoid him. Jones wants too much money. Tarver was all mouth about fighting Joe after beating Hopkins but after he got his ass handed to him, now wont go anywhere near Joe. Hopkins is too scared and wants to go to HW. Johnson has lost value with his defeat to Woods. We still have the Europeans like Kessler in the picture, but how many Yanks know or care about Kessler and co?

            There is still hope. I just hope someone like Winky can be enticed to a fight.

              There's not a whole lot of difference between Calzaghe's and Hopkins' careers, recent events aside, and people were calling Hopkins a sure-fire HOFer years ago. A guy who's lost to every elite level MW he's fought, hmmmm....

              Maybe Joe should finish off by fighting a Robert Allen trilogy, that'll get him in there.

                    ....? He lost to roy jones and had 2 questionable desicions against taylor, both of whom are better than anybody joe has ever fought, ever. Thats 3 losses, 2 of them are questionable at best. Not to mention, nobody joe has fought have been better than trinidad, trinidads KO alone is trumps calzhages entire resume

                      Trinidad is a natural welterweight.. that's the least credible win out of Hopkins' credible career.
