Who was better at the time?

The version of Roy that fought Bhop, or the current Calzaghe version that is fighting BHOP????????

It's hard to say. Calzaghe didn't fight anyone until late in his career and Roy mostly fought the better fighters in the first half of his career. So, if I had to make a judgement I'd say Roy in '93 was probably a tougher opponent for Hopkins than Calzaghe is in '08. But Hopkins is 43 now. So, age might be the thing hurting Hopkins the most now.

I don't like B-hop, but I will pray that he kicks Calzaghe's ass even at this advanced stage of his career. I know it is not probable he can do it, but I don't think I will be able to take the Calzaghe nuthuggery levels preached to even higher heights than it is now if Joe wins.
