    Bernard Hopkins beat:

    Felix Trinidad(prime)
    Antonio Tarver(prime)
    Glen Johnson(prime)
    Kelly Pavlik(prime)
    William Joppy(prime)
    Winky Wright
    Oscar De La Hoya

    Miguel Cotto beat:

    Shane Mosley
    Zab Judah
    Joshua Clottey
    Paulie Malignaggi
    Carlos Quintana

    and he actually HAD THE GUTS to face the BEST unlike Calzaghe. That alone makes him better than Calzaghe.
    and you can add that Cotto had the guts to fight Margarito when nobody wanted to and fought p4p king PAcquiao and took the loss like a champ.

    Hopkins fought Jermain Taylor when he didn't have to. But the public demanded the fight and Hopkins took it for the people.

      I agree 100%. Fact is that Calzaghe did not want to fight a PRIME Roy Jones Jr, PRIME Bernard Hopkins, Antonio Tarver, Glen Johnson and Chad Dawson. And there is a damn good reason for that, he knows all of them would have beat the **** out of him.

      Calzaghe was a coward and a fraud.

        Only in America.

        Kessler was picked as the favorite to win the Super Six by most. Even the legendary Welsh slapper picked him to win, but that was just to make his own resume look better. The difference between Ward and Calzaghe's wins over Kessler is very simple. Joe Calzaghe' win over Kessler is his career defining victory. Andre Ward is using the Kessler win as a stepping stone to bigger and better fights.

          and Andre Ward fought Kessler with only 20 fights on his resume. He took on a top dog in the division so soon and so young.

              Hatton is up there as one of the most overrated fighters of all time aswell but DLH?

              ODLH's resume:

              Julio Cesar Chavez(x2)
              Pernell Whitaker
              Hector Camacho
              Ike Quartey
              Arturo Gatti
              Ricardo Mayorga
              Fernando Vargas

              6 division weight champ

              and he ALWAYS took on the best.

              ODLH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Calzaghe

              by far...
