    Got to go with Joe Calzaghe at the moment, but that can change if Froch beats Ward and Bute.

    Roy Jones jr, was untouchable in his prime but didn't stay there that long and dominate.

    Don't think so and if he did, it wasn't against anyone of any note.

    Catchweight at 170lbs.

    Calzaghe fought and won the Ring title at light heavy from Hopkins when they fought.

    For all of those voting for SRL, I thought you would just like to know his record at Supermiddle.

    He won inaugural WBC by beating light-heavy Donny Lalonde, who put his light-heavy title on the line but had to weigh in at the super middleweight limit.

    SRL then went on to fight his two old rivals, Hearns who he fought to a draw, but many though Hearns won it, putting down Leonard in the 3rd and the 11th.

    Then he went on to face the only man to beat him at that point, Roberto Duran. The former light-weight was 38 at the time fighting for the Super-middleweight title. Duran and SRL were well under the Supermiddleweight limit, Duran 158lbs and SRL 160lbs.


    Are some of you telling me that record make him the best at super-middle?

    I bet if this was posted on the famous German forum "nicht 606", Ottke would be leading by now.

    It hurt putting his name up but I had to due to his 'longevity' as champion and the controversial 0 on his record.
