ill do list for you mate

roy jones

james toney
bernard hopkins
clinton woods
thulani malinga who had beaten benn and lost sd to chris eubank
montel griffin
virgil hill
reggie johnson lost close decision to james toney also was first man to floor toney

all of these fights were risks

bernard hopkins

howard eastman
felix trinidad 40-0 at that time
oscar dela hoya

all risky fights

hopkins may of not had as many risky fights but eastman trinidad and oscar are twice as good as calzaghe opponents shame calzaghe wernt born few years later he would of been in era of benn eubank collins

but i will say this calzaghe was bit unlucky aswell to be fair i mean he offered hopkins fight and he priced himself out and then he was going to fight steve collins and he pulled out due to injury

Mate I am work at the moment - but you will get my full response to this later - coz James Toney (for RJJ) is the only genuine risk you have given for either fighter imo - for various reasons!
