    Going with something totally different Ricardo Lopez.

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    If anyone doesn't say Ricardo Lopez they don't know about boxing, he is easily the best technical fighter of all time. With arguably the best all round game in boxing history.

    Sorry, gonna have to take that title then, because I'd have to suggest the pretty boy Floyd Mayweather. Far as I'm concerned he ticks all the boxes for me.

    He isn't full retired yet but if he does retire yes he has a very good case.

    We don't know if he is retired yet thats why i didn't mention him. He's only been retired since 2008 its a bit early to consider him a proper "retired fighter"

    One thing that separates Lopez & Mayweather from Calzaghe for me is that when they had a debatable decision or draw (Castillo & Alvarez) they made sure they had a rematch with that opponent & put in a performance that left no room for doubt. Calzaghe can say he doesn't do rematches but then why did he fight Mario Veit twice. I think the fact that he didn't have rematches with Reid & Hopkins weighs against him heavily in this respect

    Calzaghe v Hopkins was just plain ugly....and would you have traded a rematch for the destruction of Pavlik by the executioner. As for Robin Reid, by the time Calzaghe would have considered the rematch, he'd lost a WBU title shot and was fighting for minority tiles and was out of the real world reckoning, fighting on the secondary circuit.

    Reid turned down the rematch.

    And there's no way Hopkins would travel to Britain for Calzaghe. Did you read his ignorant comments after their fight?
