LOL no. calzaghe has only fought kessler, bhop, jones imo.
and jones was shot in 04
Coz you knew Lacy was no good didd't ya

By your rationale who did Hopkins fight before Tito ?? well RJJ, but he lost
So Hopkins has fought

Tito (Welterweight)
De La Hoya (Welterweight)
Taylor (Lost)
Winky (Light Middleweight fighting at 170)
Calzaghe (lost)

Pavlik is the same as Lacy

Like I have said before you can pick apart anybodies record, but Hopkins' is particularly. Seriously you are trying to say he fought this great list of opponents, who did he fight in his own reign at Middleweight (apart from the aforementioned comparitive midgets)

I think B-Hop is a legend and I don't think it would've matter who he fought during that time, but fact his his resume at Middlweight is crap.
People change weights all the time. So, if Roy didn't beat Ruiz you'd cry that he isn't a heavyweight. If PBF didn't beat Gatti, Sharma Mitchell, or anyone else he beat north of his first weight classs. we'd cry he isn't a welterweight.

The fact is, Bhop fought guys who were p4p threats and COULD perform at those weights. He won... PBF moved up and beat oscar.. so why cant these guys move up and beat Bhop?
Stop taking his credit.
