Yes, I think Calzaghe would have a rather easy time with Hopkins.
Hopkins has fought better opposition, but the quality is not THAT disparate. A lot of Joe's opponents are better than some of Hopkins's.
Regardless, the quality of opposition does not tell the story here.Comment

im reading thru some threads
and i see random people say "calzaghe would tko hopkins"
and "hopkins cant handle calzaghe's speed"
wtf has calzaghe done to convince yall that he would stand a chance against b-hop??
cal has fought mostly bums his whole career and now all the sudden he can ko hopkins?
explain
well said! the hopkins (of a few years ago) would've destroyed calzaghe. he'd probably still beat him now. calzaghe has built his career on fighting nobodies (exception of eubank who was at the very end of his career after some hard fights). He's trying to retire unbeaten thats why he's never taken on the best, EUBANK (in his prime), BENN,JONES,TAYLOR,HOPKINS and he doesnt even come close to greats like LEONARD,HAGLER,DURAN AND HEARNS. He's just an average boxer fighting less than average opponents.

Hopkins isn't busy enough, Calzaghe wins on workrate alone. Hopkins of a few years ago might have been crafty enough to cause Joe problems, but his workrate has dropped off from what wasn't exactly a Hattonesque level to start with.Comment
