Battle of the Middle/Super middleweights

[LondonBB]

Well, if we take fighters as people love to say on this forum 'in their prime'...im gonna pick roy jones that was against james toney.

Im gonna pick calzaghe that was against lacy.

I think it would be between calzaghe and jones.

Dont know who would win that.

The 'prime' calzaghe i saw against jeff lacy was totally unstoppable.

But personally i hate this whole p4p list thing and 'in their prime' rhetoric. The fact is that fighters face each other at various points in their career, they cant help that, they are often avoided or whatever and have to fight when they are offered the fight.

I dont buy the whole 'in their prime' game. A fighter is as good as what his achievements are, end of story.

Who he fought, what he achieved and how long he was champ for. Nothing else in my opinion.

When you look back in history, you look back at records and facts. I know people love to ignore the facts on this forum and would rather allow their hatred/prejudice to blinker and shroud their judgement, but in the end it is history that dictates how good a fighter was by looking at what they achieved.
