I'm gonna go with Lacy, at the time everyone thought he was going to kick Joes ass and he thoroughly outclassed him. Almost a coming out party for him on the world stage.

Done today already
Agree on Lacy just shows how overrated Jeff was and how crap Calzaghes defenses had been until then.

At the time his career was still in Progress I would've said Jeff Lacy was Calzaghe's greatest moment and win as well, but with everything that's gone on since his career has ended. I think there's no doubt that Bernard Hopkins is his biggest win.
He definitely beat Lacy more emphatically, but Hopkins was a far more skilled opponent, and his win over him means WAY more.

Tough, I almost said Golota because he destroyed him but the best he faced IMO was Evander Holyfield

I do not see how anyone would say anything other than ALI in FOTC
Great performance against his toughest competition.

Alvarez is probably the best name on his ledger, but he was some way removed from his prime (and fighting weight) so probably, Choi, given that he had battered Sorjaturong who had been a long-time champ and had that fight with Gonzalez.
Miguel Angel Gonzalez

I think Lamotta's greatest hour is either beating Cerdan for the title or defending the title against Dauthille (not sure if I'm spelling his name right) in the 1950 Fight of the Year.

I find it odd you'd prefer the 2nd Morales fight as a greater moment for Barrera than the 3rd one. I personally had that 2nd bout scored for Morales. I thought the 3rd bout was a draw, but the feeling amongst people in general is definitely that Barrera performed better in that bout than the 2nd.
