Say what you want about Calzaghe and him fighting in Wales and poor competition.
Who are the big names on Hopkins' record though?
DLH, Tito, Roy, Taylor, Winky, Tarver: Dlh started at 130 and went to 160, lost to Sturm and got koed by Hopkins while winning 3 rounds. Tito got outboxed silly and stopped but Tito was a small man too. He started at 147 and at 160 he got beat every single round by Winky Wright. Hopkins barely squeezed by a overweight Winky. He did beat convincigly Tarver though. He lost two decision against Taylor even though some may dispute that he did win both of them. I scored both of them for Taylor. He got beat by a one-armed Roy Jone.
In summary, disregard Tito and DLH as real middleweights cause they are not and they have proven it.
Bernard faced Roy and he lost. He faced Taylor twice and he both times. He won against Winky Wright, and he beat Antonio Tarver. 4 big names and 3 losses.
Who are the big names on Calzaghe' record?
Lacy - everybody favoured the highly-regarde undefeated Lacy to expose Calzaghe, and Joe shot him to pieces.
Kessler- another undefeated fighter who cleaned out the 168 pound division, known as one of the best technicians with speed and power, who resides at 168. Calzaghe beat him, and not like Hopkins beat Winky either
Eubank - He beat him convincingly.
He faced 3 big names and he beat them all convincingly.
Has Bernard fought outside of US? Yes, once in Ecuador and that was for the IBF middleweight title. According to boxrec he's seen the canvas twice and he's won by majority decision.
Has Joe been out of Wales? Yes, he's been to England, he's been to Denmark, he's been to Germany. So if you don't count England, Calzaghe's been to one more country than Bernard.
I just thought I would put things in better perspective.
