Nigel Benn....has himself admitted he feels Calzaghe was better than he, Eubank or Collins.

Steve Collins.....I'm Irish an still i can see that Collins was a technically poor fighter who would have eaten everything Joe threw.

Gerald McClellan....One of my favourite fighters...Unfortunately he's one of the sports eternal enigmas like Salvador Sanchez, how far he could have gone we'll never no, but on what i saw Joe SD

James Toney...A marvellous fighter, but he relied on getting in close against Taller fighters. Joe is a master at preventing this and for me Joe grinds out a SD again.

Roy Jones.... Prime for prime I don't feel the need to comment on this. But a slightly faded Roy would have been beaten that shows how highly i think of Joe

For me Joe also beats the Super Middle versions of Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard who met for the controversial draw fight...Joe was too complex for these fighters at that time.
Part I agree,part I disagree
Toney's a total enigma,A)He's too lazy to stay at a proper weight for his size,B)Every time you think he's put it together he comes up dirty on the pi$$ test
Leanord and Hearns would have flat out torched him
Sugar,because its the same stock and trade,but Ray was just better at it,and a better counter puncher
Hearns,just because of sheer punching power
Joe is a great worker out there,great at it,but nobody is losing any sleep over his power
