The only worthy name there is Toney. Paz was waaaaaaaay past it. Brannon was much to talk about nor was Byrd or Thorton. Lucas was so so.

Those are a bulk of names, outside of Toney, that hold no merit...but everyone lambasts Calzaghe for dominating his division at a weak time...but it's not like Jones fought the strongest opposition at 168lbs.

Roy was a marvel at 175lbs & that is where he fought his best opposition.
Do u honestly think Joe C could have beaten 168 Toney as easily as RJJ did? Do not get carried away there Wacko, Kessler is a similiar calibre fighter to 168 Toney which is fucken good, but even tho Joe won easy he didnt toy with Mikkel like Roy did with Toney. Paz was way past it but Roy almost knocked him into next week. I cant believe u think a 168 Joe would beat the RJJ that fought at 168. Joe Calzaghe has the best record ever @ 168, but RJJ was the better fighter.
I dont think RJJ lost a single round in those fights u mentioned and most of those names got KTFO early.
This is in the wrong spot...but I'll respond anyways.

First off...where did I say that Joe could have beaten Toney?

I didn't. I said that Roy hasn't done jack @ 168lbs compared to Joe...& he hasn't.

Once again...I never said that Joe could beat Roy @ 168lbs. Read that post...you'll see that you took my words out of context.

Again...Joe did more at 168lbs than Roy did. Again...outside of Toney, that list of names holds little to no merit...but everyone lambasts Calzaghe for dominating his division at a weak time...but it's not like Jones fought the strongest opposition at 168lbs either.

Roy was a marvel at 175lbs & that is where he fought his best opposition.
