Best Super Middleweight of all time to date?

[Mikkel_K]

Someone on these boards once argued that there was difference between being the best and being the greatest. Following that I'd say Roy Jones was the best Super Middleweight of all time - no one who has ever fought at 168 would have beaten a prime RJJ at the weight - while Calzaghe is the greatest (due to a better resume at the weight).

Better resume? What Robin , Manfredo , Mario Viet (twice). Come one.

Roy Jones only had 7 fights at the weight. Granted Toney was one (the first) of those, but I'd still take Calzaghe's overall resume as far as what they have achieved at the weight.

Eubank, Kessler, and Lacy (yes Lacy) would for example all start as favorites against all Roy's smw-opponents, bar Toney, imo.
