    I would disagree with that.
    Mayweather, Whittaker, Lennox Lewis, Chavez, Roy Jones, James Toney, Barerra, even De La Hoya or Mosley are all better than B-Hop or Calzaghe.
    You could maybe make an argument that Hopkins is top ten, but even that is very debatable. I would say in terms of skill Calzaghe is right up there, but he hasn't fought the opposition necessary to cement that kind of legacy.

    I can see why people would say that, I should have clarified in that I meant non heavyweights, and also am factoring in not only skill, but accomplishments. IMO right now as it stands I think Whitaker, Jones, and Mayweather are the three best I've seen when factoring all that into play in the last 20 years, and even though Roy beat a green B-Hop, I would bump him over Roy in terms of standing if he were to pull the upset tomorrow. Likewise, I don't think Bernard is washed up or merely a shell of his former self, I think he's still formidable and Calzaghe would get alot of respect from me by beating him.
