I just fail to see what is farcical about that? Who are you gonna tell me has been a more accomplished, more talented fighter at 168?

But don't get me wrong, i feel like the super-middle weight division has entered a new era, post Calzaghe, were a couple of brilliant fighters have arrived. So we'll see.
The reason Joe Calzaghe is the best Super Middleweight, is because most of the top American fighters used the division. As a stepping stone like RJJ, James Toney. And also because the best of our British fighters had retired, which isn't Joe Calzaghe's fault. But as i said he could of moved up, considering he always said he found it hard to make 168.

And also because the Super Middleweight division, is a pretty new division isn't it ? didn't it only become a serious division in the late 1980s ? i know the division was made in the 1960s or something, but i thought it only become a serious division in the late 1980s.

Either way my point still stands, and as for fighters that were more talented than Joe Calzaghe at 168.

Roy Jones Jr
James Toney
Michael Nunn
Michael Watson = Debatable
