Spot on VD , Calzaghe is a fine fighter , but he wouldnt have lived with Toney/Mcclellen /Jones
he beats Benn inside 4 , and Collins gets stopped in 10 barely laying a glove on Joe.

He beats Benn but loses to McClellan? Have you seen the fight where Gerald gets crushed by Benn.
Benn was a better fighter than McClellan as he proved in the ring.

What did James Toney ever do except get a bogus decision over unknown Dave Tiberi and getting beat by Montell Griffin and Drake Thadzi - yet he can beat calzaghe - nonsense. Oh yeh James lost to Roy Jones Jnr who I would pick to beat them all.

I don't even know why Steve Collins is in the original list as he beat a shot Nigel Benn but lost to McCallum and Reggie Johnson.

Joe stylewise would have trouble against Benn and lose to RJJ but he'd certainly beat Collins, McClellan and Toney.
