Former multi-division champion Sugar Ray Leonard, appears to be one of the biggest supporters of IBF/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe.
He recently told the South Wales Echo, that if Calzaghe was able to lure Bernard Hopkins out of retirement, he would probably beat the middleweight great. Leonard recently had lunch with Calzaghe, and told reporters that the Calzaghe who fought Jeff Lacy in March would beat any fighter, Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor or Bernard Hopkins.
"If he fights like he did against Jeff Lacy, he beats anyone, including Hopkins," said Leonard. "Lacy was on his way to being a superstar in the States, so beating him had a huge impact. It would be great for Joe to beat Hopkins and gain global acceptance."
