    So you would class Whitaker as just "world class?" Thats it?

    Well it's pretty simple, if world-class fighters and great fighters are not beating other world-class or great fighters how can they be classed as world-class or great?

    If Sam Peter isn't world-class Wlad and Vitali's wins mean NOTHING.

    So are they not world-class either? Who do they have to beat? Or does their silky skills MAKE them world-class?

    Did anyone else laugh at this? haha

    Um, this is ridiculous. If course Sam Peter is a world class heavyweight. What is the definition of world class? Someone who can compete on an international level with the best in the world. Obviously Peter can and has despite coming up dreadfully short against Vitali.

    Calzaghe's legacy, well he's obviously one of the greats of the generation but if you want to compare it to Hopkins' and Jones, I'd say he falls short of both. He might have had better wins then Jones but never had the type of showstopping skill that makes Jones one of the greatest fighters of all time. Jones had what maybe nobody ever did, can't fault Joe for that.

    Hopkins fought in a better division and lasted until his 40's! And he didn't do it just fighting in his backyard.

    Also, I think the Lacy victory was the most significant Joe ever had. It was the only fight he was ever an underdog in as a champ and it was his best performance ever. To say the Lacy victory meant nothing is bullshit and just revisionist history.

    Peter is in no way a world class heavy. He's a world class slow fat bastard with a big punch. Anybody with more mobility than a bus shelter can beat him easily.

    Nobody right now. They're all garbage. Choosing your favourite heavyweight right now is like looking at a bunch of dog turds and choosing which one you'd most like to step in.
