Joe Calzaghe would have defeated Bernard Hopkins at any time in B-Hop's career. Joe is definitely more athletic and talented.

I'm not terrible impressed with Calzaghe. His best win might be Kessler, a fighter I don't view as terrible great.
I won't say anything ****** about Calzaghe, as he's a good champion with a fighter's heart and is gifted with fast hands and a good head.
But still, I feel he's overrated.
The man is flawed, which I believe fighters of Hopkins' calibre in his prime would take advantage of.
Like I said, I would expect the fight to be very close. Joe is no ****** journeyman, has fast hands, a good chin, tremendous heart and a high workrate.
I can understand a reluctance from Hopkins to travel to Britain to fight somebody no one knew who was, and a bigger man at that.
The way I see it, Joe should have fought some in the U.S to make a name for himself were it matters, and thus making his challenges legit.
It's not ducking or avoiding or **** like that.
Calzaghe didn't exactly go out of his way to fight Hopkins either...
